_BUILDDIR_BUILD_BUILD_LIBECOLI-0.11.3_EXAMPLES_SIMPLE-EDITLINE_(3)

💅 NAME 💅

simple-editline — Directory Reference. That's it, that's the whole name, bestie, and honestly? Iconic. It's the reference page for the simple-editline directory, brought to you by the Library Functions Manual. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

🌸 Files

• file main.c — yep, that's the one and only file listed. One file. Main character energy. 🫶

🧚 Detailed Description 🧚

Okay so listen — this is the most simple example in the whole place, and that's literally the point. It demonstrates a common use-case for libecoli. No cap. 💖

What it shows you is how to build a custom CLI based on libedit, and it comes with completion and contextual help. Like, you get the nice tab-complete vibes and the "wait what does this do again" help text, both at once. Obsessed. ✨

The top-level helpers of the ec_editline API are used — specifically ec_interact() — which makes the code as compact as possible. Lowkey the whole flex here is how little code you need. 🦋

And here's how the pieces fit, keep up:

• The grammar is defined in one function, create_commands(). That's where the structure lives. 👑
• The callbacks are registered using ec_editline_set_callback(). 🎀
• The contextual helps are registered using ec_editline_set_help(). 💅

Bestie, do not skip the callback and help registration — that's the whole magic trick of this example. The completion and the help are the personality. 😭

That's the whole page, fr fr — short and slay. 🍓

This lil' beauty is from Libecoli, Version 0.11.3 — mwah, signing off, simple-editline Reference(3) style. 💜🌈⭐
