Haskeline

The Haskeline library provides a user interface for line input in command-line programs. This library is similar in purpose to readline, but since it is written in Haskell it is (hopefully) more easily used in other Haskell programs.

Features:

• Provides a rich line editing interface.
• A ~/.haskeline file allows customization of preferences and custom key bindings.
• Runs on POSIX-compatible systems, using the terminfo library to support non-ANSI terminals.
• Runs on Windows using MinGW.
• Supports Unicode cross-platform.
• History recall and incremental search.
• Custom tab completion functions which may run in an arbitrary monad.

The latest release, as well as the API documentation, may be obtained from Hackage at http://hackage.haskell.org/package/haskeline.

The most recent development source code can be downloaded with:

git clone https://github.com/judah/haskeline
