When \fBpcretest\fP is built, a configuration option can specify that it should |
| 101 |
|
be linked with the \fBlibreadline\fP library. When this is done, if the input |
| 102 |
|
is from a terminal, it is read using the \fBreadline()\fP function. This |
| 103 |
|
provides line-editing and history facilities. The output from the \fB-help\fP |
| 104 |
|
