linenoise

We have hosted the application linenoise in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about linenoise:

Linenoise is an ultra-lightweight, self-contained C library that implements line editing (single and multi-line) for terminal applications, intended as a simpler alternative to the much larger GNU Readline or libedit libraries. The library is zero-config, meaning you just include the source file(s) and use it, without heavy dependencies or external configuration. It supports basic editing features: moving the cursor, inserting characters, handling history, tab-completion, and hints, plus a multiplexing mode where the prompt can be hidden/restored when asynchronous output appears. It works on most VT100/ANSI-compatible terminals, and is portable across Unix-like systems. The code is compact (around 850 lines excluding comments) and designed for minimal footprint embedding into other projects (like CLI tools) that need line editing but don�t want the complexity of linking large libraries.

Features:

• Minimal, single-file (or few files) C library for line editing in terminals
• Support for single-line and multi-line editing with cursor movement and history recall
• Built-in tab-completion and hint-display for suggestions during editing
• Multiplexing mode allowing asynchronous output while preserving prompt integrity
• Zero-configuration usage (just include the source, no external dependencies)
• Very compact code footprint and permissive BSD license making it embeddable

Programming Language: C.
