rlwrap

Add line editing, persistent history and prompt completion to a REPL command. More information: https://manned.org/rlwrap.

• Run a REPL command with line editing, persistent history and prompt completion:

rlwrap {{command}}

• Use all words seen on input and output for prompt completion:

rlwrap {{[-r|--remember]}} {{command}}

• Better prompt completion if prompts contain ANSI colour codes:

rlwrap {{[-A|--ansi-colour-aware]}} {{command}}

• Enable filename completion (case sensitive):

rlwrap {{[-c|--complete-filenames]}} {{command}}

• Add coloured prompts, use colour name, or an ASCI-conformant colour specification. Use an uppercase colour name for bold styling:

rlwrap {{[-p|--prompt-colour=]}}{{black|red|green|yellow|blue|cyan|purple|white|colour_spec}} {{command}}
