NAME¶
prompt - give any program command-line editing facilities
SYNOPSIS¶
prompt
DESCRIPTION¶
prompt is a simple wrapper which provides command-line editing for
programs that do not have it.
Not all programs with a command line interface provide an input history or even
the ability to use the cursor keys to change the input. The prompt program
wraps any program, intercepting stdin, stdout and stderr and providing the
user with such editing facilities.
