What is GNU Readline?
GNU Readline is a software library that provides line-editing and history capabilities for interactive programs with a command-line interface. It allows users to move the text cursor, search the command history, control a kill ring (a more flexible version of a copy/paste clipboard) and use tab completion on a text terminal.
