# readchar
[![docs.rs](https://img.shields.io/docsrs/readchar)](https://docs.rs/readchar/latest/readchar/)

a concurrently outputting readline implementation

## Example

see `./examples/generic.rs` for example usage

`cargo run --example generic.rs -- executable args`

executes executable with args, and then the input line from readchar is the final argument, so

`cargo run --example generic.rs -- calc`

will run `calc` on each input line while you type

## Features

- local/file history
- outputting while you type
