NAME
     libtecla - interactive command line input library

SYNOPSIS
     cc [ flag... ] file... -ltecla [ library... ]
     #include 


DESCRIPTION
     This library provides programs with interactive command line
     editing facilities, similar to those of the UNIX tcsh shell.
     In addition to  simple  command-line  editing,  it  supports
     recall  of  previously entered command lines, TAB completion
     of file names or other tokens, and in-line  wildcard  expan-
     sion  of  filenames.  The  internal  functions  that perform
     file-name completion and wild-card expansion are also avail-
     able externally for optional use by the calling program.

  Thread Safety
     The       terminfo       functions       setupterm(3CURSES),
     tigetstr(3CURSES), tigetnum(3CURSES), and tputs(3CURSES) are
     not reentrant. This condition, however, should  not  prevent
     use  of  this  library  in  threaded applications, since few
     applications will want to interact with multiple terminals.

INTERFACES
     The shared object libtecla.so.1 provides the  public  inter-
     faces defined below. See Intro(3) for additional information
     on shared object interfaces.
