Crate linefeed

Provides a configurable, concurrent, extensible, interactive input reader for Unix terminals and Windows console.

Configuration is compatible with GNU Readline.

The main entry to interactive read operations is the Interface type.

Basic example

use linefeed::{Interface, ReadResult};

let mut reader = Interface::new("my-application")?;

reader.set_prompt("my-app> ")?;

while let ReadResult::Input(input) = reader.read_line()? {
    println!("got input {:?}", input);
}

println!("Goodbye.");
