Haskeline provides a user interface for line input in command-line programs. This library is similar in purpose to readline, but since it is written in Haskell it is (hopefully) more easily used in other Haskell programs.
Haskeline runs both on POSIX-compatible systems and on Windows.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Provides a rich line editing interface.
- A ~/.haskeline file allows customization of preferences and custom key bindings.
- Runs on POSIX-compatible systems, using the terminfo library to support non-ANSI terminals.
- Runs on Windows using MinGW.
- Supports Unicode cross-platform.
- History recall and incremental search.
- Custom tab completion functions which may run in an arbitrary monad.
