3Term::ReadLine - Perl interface to various C<readline> packages.
4If no real package is found, substitutes stubs instead of basic functions.

8 use Term::ReadLine;
2b393bf4 9 my $term = Term::ReadLine->new('Simple Perl calc');
7824b127
IM
10 my $prompt = "Enter your arithmetic expression: ";
11 my $OUT = $term->OUT || \*STDOUT;
cb31d310 12 while ( defined ($_ = $term->readline($prompt)) ) {
d49f26d4 13 my $res = eval($_);
cb31d310 14 warn $@ if $@;
15 print $OUT $res, "\n" unless $@;
16 $term->addhistory($_) if /\S/;

c07a80fd 19=head1 DESCRIPTION
20
bbb077f8
WY
21This package is just a front end to some other packages. It's a stub to
22set up a common interface to the various ReadLine implementations found on
23CPAN (under the C<Term::ReadLine::*> namespace).
c07a80fd 24
cb31d310 25=head1 Minimal set of supported functions
26
27All the supported functions should be called as methods, i.e., either as
28
2b393bf4 29 $term = Term::ReadLine->new('name');
cb31d310 30
31or as
32
33 $term->addhistory('row');
34
d49f26d4 35where $term is a return value of Term::ReadLine-E<gt>new().
cb31d310 36
37=over 12
38
39=item C<ReadLine>
40
41returns the actual package that executes the commands. Among possible
42values are C<Term::ReadLine::Gnu>, C<Term::ReadLine::Perl>,
e15d0a48 43C<Term::ReadLine::Stub>.
cb31d310 44
45=item C<new>
46
47returns the handle for subsequent calls to following
48functions. Argument is the name of the application. Optionally can be
49followed by two arguments for C<IN> and C<OUT> filehandles. These
50arguments should be globs.
51
52=item C<readline>
53
54gets an input line, I<possibly> with actual C<readline>
55support. Trailing newline is removed. Returns C<undef> on C<EOF>.
56
57=item C<addhistory>
58
59adds the line to the history of input, from where it can be used if
60the actual C<readline> is present.
61
d49f26d4 62=item C<IN>, C<OUT>
cb31d310 63
64return the filehandles for input and output or C<undef> if C<readline>
65input and output cannot be used for Perl.
66
67=item C<MinLine>
68
69If argument is specified, it is an advice on minimal size of line to
70be included into history. C<undef> means do not include anything into
71history. Returns the old value.
72
73=item C<findConsole>
74
75returns an array with two strings that give most appropriate names for
1fef88e7 76files for input and output using conventions C<"E<lt>$in">, C<"E<gt>out">.
cb31d310 77
a737e074
CS
78=item Attribs
79
80returns a reference to a hash which describes internal configuration
81of the package. Names of keys in this hash conform to standard
82conventions with the leading C<rl_> stripped.
83
cb31d310 84=item C<Features>
85
86Returns a reference to a hash with keys being features present in
87current implementation. Several optional features are used in the
88minimal interface: C<appname> should be present if the first argument
89to C<new> is recognized, and C<minline> should be present if
90C<MinLine> method is not dummy. C<autohistory> should be present if
91lines are put into history automatically (maybe subject to
92C<MinLine>), and C<addhistory> if C<addhistory> method is not dummy.
93
a737e074
CS
94If C<Features> method reports a feature C<attribs> as present, the
95method C<Attribs> is not dummy.

99=head1 Additional supported functions
100
cb31d310 101Actually C<Term::ReadLine> can use some other package, that will
bbb077f8 102support a richer set of commands.
cb31d310 103
a737e074
CS
104All these commands are callable via method interface and have names
105which conform to standard conventions with the leading C<rl_> stripped.

107The stub package included with the perl distribution allows some
108additional methods:
109
110=over 12
111
112=item C<tkRunning>
113
de6726c1
RS
114makes Tk event loop run when waiting for user input (i.e., during
115C<readline> method).
fc013e91 116
de6726c1
RS
117=item C<event_loop>
118
119Registers call-backs to wait for user input (i.e., during C<readline>
20a5039a 120method). This supersedes tkRunning.
de6726c1
RS
121
122The first call-back registered is the call back for waiting. It is
123expected that the callback will call the current event loop until
124there is something waiting to get on the input filehandle. The parameter
125passed in is the return value of the second call back.
126
127The second call-back registered is the call back for registration. The
128input filehandle (often STDIN, but not necessarily) will be passed in.
129
130For example, with AnyEvent:
131
0d36d0d1
RS
132 $term->event_loop(sub {
133 my $data = shift;
134 $data->[1] = AE::cv();
135 $data->[1]->recv();
136 }, sub {
137 my $fh = shift;
138 my $data = [];
139 $data->[0] = AE::io($fh, 0, sub { $data->[1]->send() });
140 $data;
141 });
de6726c1
RS
142
143The second call-back is optional if the call back is registered prior to
144the call to $term-E<gt>readline.
145
146Deregistration is done in this case by calling event_loop with C<undef>
147as its parameter:
148
149 $term->event_loop(undef);
150
151This will cause the data array ref to be removed, allowing normal garbage
152collection to clean it up. With AnyEvent, that will cause $data->[0] to
153be cleaned up, and AnyEvent will automatically cancel the watcher at that
154time. If another loop requires more than that to clean up a file watcher,
155that will be up to the caller to handle.
f36776d9
IZ
156
157=item C<ornaments>
158
159makes the command line stand out by using termcap data. The argument
160to C<ornaments> should be 0, 1, or a string of a form
161C<"aa,bb,cc,dd">. Four components of this string should be names of
162I<terminal capacities>, first two will be issued to make the prompt
163standout, last two to make the input line standout.
164
165=item C<newTTY>
166
167takes two arguments which are input filehandle and output filehandle.
168Switches to use these filehandles.
169
170=back
171
172One can check whether the currently loaded ReadLine package supports
173these methods by checking for corresponding C<Features>.

179=head1 ENVIRONMENT
180
8dcee03e 181The environment variable C<PERL_RL> governs which ReadLine clone is
405ff068
IZ
182loaded. If the value is false, a dummy interface is used. If the value
183is true, it should be tail of the name of the package to use, such as
184C<Perl> or C<Gnu>.
a737e074 185
405ff068
IZ
186As a special case, if the value of this variable is space-separated,
187the tail might be used to disable the ornaments by setting the tail to
188be C<o=0> or C<ornaments=0>. The head should be as described above, say
189
190If the variable is not set, or if the head of space-separated list is
191empty, the best available package is loaded.

194 export "PERL_RL= o=0" # Use best available ReadLine sans ornaments

196(Note that processing of C<PERL_RL> for ornaments is in the discretion of the
197particular used C<Term::ReadLine::*> package).
