pub fn command_loop(
    commands: &Vec<Command<'_>>,
    context: Option<&[&str]>
) -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error>>
Expand description

Runs the actual command loop, providing readline output via rustyline. The context arg allows for the passing of additional ‘context’ information to maintain a state during subcalls if needed.
