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 set up .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. .Pp If .Ar prog is absent, .Ar command is executed for all programs. .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 Emacs-like bindings. .It Fl v Bind all keys to the standard .Xr vi 1 Ns -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 .Pp .Ar command may be one of the commands documented in .Sx "EDITOR COMMANDS" below, or another key. .Pp .Ar key and .Ar command can contain control characters of the form .Sm off .Sq No ^ Ar character .Sm on (e.g.\& .Sq ^A ) , and the following backslashed escape sequences: .Pp .Bl -tag -compact -offset indent -width 4n .It Ic \ea Bell .It Ic \eb Backspace .It Ic \ee Escape .It Ic \ef Formfeed .It Ic \en Newline .It Ic \er Carriage return .It Ic \et Horizontal tab .It Ic \ev Vertical tab .Sm off .It Sy \e Ar nnn .Sm on The ASCII character corresponding to the octal number .Ar nnn . .El .Pp .Sq \e nullifies the special meaning of the following character, if it has any, notably .Sq \e and .Sq ^ . .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 empty string for non-existent capabilities, rather than causing an error. .Fl v causes messages to be verbose. .It Ic edit Op Cm on | off Enable or disable the .Nm editline functionality in a program. .It Ic history Ar list | Ar size Dv n | Ar unique Dv n The .Ar list command lists all entries in the history. The .Ar size command sets the history size to .Dv n entries. The .Ar unique command controls if history should keep duplicate entries. If .Dv n is non zero, only keep unique history entries. If .Dv n is zero, then keep all entries (the default). .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 .Op Ar char=c .Xc Control which tty modes that .Nm will not 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 .Pq Sq +mode or off .Pq Sq -mode . .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. .Pp .Ic Setty can also be used to set tty characters to particular values using .Ar char=value . If .Ar value is empty then the character is set to .Dv _POSIX_VDISABLE . .El .Sh EDITOR COMMANDS The following editor commands are available for use in key bindings: .\" Section automatically
