The proc argument is typically a Proc object. It must respond to .call, take a single String argument and return an Array of candidates for completion.

Example:

list = ['search', 'next', 'clear']
Readline.completion_proc = proc{ |s| list.grep( /^#{Regexp.escape(s)}/) }

# File 'lib/readline.rb', line 298

def self.filename_quote_characters=(str)
  RbReadline.rl_filename_quote_characters = str.dup
end

.input=(input) ⇒ Object

Sets the input stream (an IO object) for readline interaction. The default is $stdin.



63
64

# File 'lib/readline.rb', line 63

def self.input=(input)
  RbReadline.rl_instream = input

76
77

# File 'lib/readline.rb', line 76

def self.line_buffer

71
72
 
# File 'lib/readline.rb', line 70

def self.output=(output)
  RbReadline.rl_outstream = output
end

.point ⇒ Object

Returns the current offset in the current input line.



315
316
317
 
# File 'lib/readline.rb', line 315

def self.point()
  RbReadline.rl_point
end

.readline(prompt = "", add_history = nil) ⇒ Object

Begins an interactive terminal process using prompt as the command prompt that users see when they type commands. The method returns the line entered whenever a carriage return is encountered.

If an add_history argument is provided, commands entered by users are stored in a history buffer that can be recalled for later use.

Note that this method depends on $stdin and $stdout both being open. Because this is meant as an interactive console interface, they should generally not be redirected.

If you would like to add non-visible characters to the the prompt (for example to add colors) you must prepend the character 001 (^A) before each sequence of non-visible characters and add the character 002 (^B) after, otherwise line wrapping may not work properly.

Example:

loop{ Readline.readline('> ') }

    raise e
  end

  if add_history && buff
    RbReadline.add_history(buff)
  end

  return buff ? buff.dup : nil
end

.readline_attempted_completion_function(text, start, _end) ⇒ Object

Returns nil if no matches are found or an array of strings:

[0] is the replacement for text
[1..n] the possible matches
[n+1] nil

The possible matches should not include [0].

If this method sets RbReadline.rl_attempted_completion_over to true, then the default completion function will not be called when this function returns nil.
