Refer to .Sx BUILTIN COMMANDS for more information. .Pp .Ar prog is the program name string that a program defines when it calls .Xr el_init 3 to setup .Xr editline 3 , which is usually .Va argv[0] . .Ar command will be executed for any program which matches .Ar prog . .Pp .Ar prog may also be a .Xr regex 3 style regular expression, in which case .Ar command will be executed for any program that matches the regular expression. .Sh BUILTIN COMMANDS The .Nm editline library has some builtin commands, which affect the way that the line editing and history functions operate. These are based on similar named builtins present in the .Xr tcsh 1 shell. .Pp The following builtin commands are available: .Bl -tag -width 4n .It Ic bind Xo .Op Fl a .Op Fl e .Op Fl k .Op Fl l .Op Fl r .Op Fl s .Op Fl v .Op Ar key Op Ar command .Xc Without options, list all bound keys, and the editor command to which each is bound. If .Ar key is supplied, show the bindings for .Ar key . If .Ar key command is supplied, bind .Ar command to .Ar key . Options include: .Bl -tag -width 4n .It Fl e Bind all keys to the standard GNU Emacss-like bindings. .It Fl v Bind all keys to the standard .Xr vi 1 -like bindings. .It Fl a List or change key bindings in the .Xr vi 1 mode alternate (command mode) key map. .It Fl k .Ar key is interpreted as a symbolic arrow key name, which may be one of .Sq up , .Sq down , .Sq left or .Sq right . .It Fl l List all editor commands and a short description of each. .It Fl r Remove a key's binding. .It Fl s .Ar command is taken as a literal string and treated as terminal input when .Ar key is typed. Bound keys in .Ar command are themselves reinterpreted, and this continues for ten levels of interpretation. .El .It Ic echotc Xo .Op Fl sv .Ar arg .Ar ... .Xc Exercise terminal capabilities given in .Ar arg Ar ... . If .Ar arg is .Sq baud , .Sq cols , .Sq lines , .Sq rows , .Sq meta or .Sq tabs , the value of that capability is printed, with .Dq yes or .Dq no indicating that the terminal does or does not have that capability. .Pp .Fl s returns an emptry string for non-existant capabilities, rather than causing an error. .Fl v causes messages to be verbose. .It Ic history List the history. .It Ic telltc List the values of all the terminal capabilities (see .Xr termcap 5 ). .It Ic settc Ar cap Ar val Set the terminal capability .Ar cap to .Ar val , as defined in .Xr termcap 5 . No sanity checking is done. .It Ic setty Xo .Op Fl a .Op Fl d .Op Fl q .Op Fl x .Op Ar +mode .Op Ar -mode .Op Ar mode .Xc Control which tty modes that .Nm won't allow the user to change. .Fl d , .Fl q or .Fl x tells .Ic setty to act on the .Sq edit , .Sq quote or .Sq execute set of tty modes respectively; defaulting to .Fl x . .Pp Without other arguments, .Ic setty lists the modes in the chosen set which are fixed on .Po .Sq +mode .Pc or off .Po .Sq -mode .Pc . .Fl a lists all tty modes in the chosen set regardless of the setting. With .Ar +mode , .Ar -mode or .Ar mode , fixes .Ar mode on or off or removes control of .Ar mode in the chosen set. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr editline 3 , .Xr regex 3 , .Xr termcap 5 .Sh AUTHORS The .Nm library was written by Christos Zoulas, and this manual was written by Luke Mewburn, with some sections inspired by .Xr tcsh 1 .
