readline: Terminal Management

 
 2.4.9 Terminal Management
 -------------------------
 
  -- Function: void rl_prep_terminal (int meta_flag)
      Modify the terminal settings for Readline's use, so 'readline()'
      can read a single character at a time from the keyboard.  The
      META_FLAG argument should be non-zero if Readline should read
      eight-bit input.
 
  -- Function: void rl_deprep_terminal (void)
      Undo the effects of 'rl_prep_terminal()', leaving the terminal in
      the state in which it was before the most recent call to
      'rl_prep_terminal()'.
 
  -- Function: void rl_tty_set_default_bindings (Keymap kmap)
      Read the operating system's terminal editing characters (as would
      be displayed by 'stty') to their Readline equivalents.  The
      bindings are performed in KMAP.
 
  -- Function: void rl_tty_unset_default_bindings (Keymap kmap)
      Reset the bindings manipulated by 'rl_tty_set_default_bindings' so
      that the terminal editing characters are bound to 'rl_insert'.  The
      bindings are performed in KMAP.
 
  -- Function: int rl_tty_set_echoing (int value)
      Set Readline's idea of whether or not it is echoing output to its
      output stream (RL_OUTSTREAM).  If VALUE is 0, Readline does not
      display output to RL_OUTSTREAM; any other value enables output.
      The initial value is set when Readline initializes the terminal
      settings.  This function returns the previous value.
 
  -- Function: int rl_reset_terminal (const char *terminal_name)
      Reinitialize Readline's idea of the terminal settings using
      TERMINAL_NAME as the terminal type (e.g., 'vt100').  If
      TERMINAL_NAME is 'NULL', the value of the 'TERM' environment
      variable is used.
