🦋 ARIF_RL_DISPLAY(3) 🦋

okay bestie, welcome to the ARIF User Manual — this page is literally all about arif_rl_display, and it is giving “Readline completion candidate display” energy. no cap. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

arif_rl_display — display Readline completion candidates, periodt. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <arif_rl.h>

void
arif_rl_display (
    struct arif_ctx  *ctx,
    char            **matches,
    int               num,
    int               max_len
);

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so here is the tea: arif_rl_display() fetches the current page of candidates from the input context ctx, then prints their display text using Readline's rl_display_match_list() function. iconic behavior, honestly. ✨

it is intended to be called from inside a custom Readline rl_completion_display_matches_hook function — and when you do, you pass matches, num, and max_len through as-is. no renaming, no remixing, just pass them straight in. 🫶
