// ************************************************************************** /** @class ReadlineWindow @brief Helper to redirect readline's in- and output to an ncurses window The idea of this class is to allow the use of the readline functionality within a ncurses window. Therefore, several callback and hook function of the readline libarary are redirected, which allow to redirect the window's input stream to readline and the readline output to the window. After instantisation a pointer to a ncurses WINDOW must be given to the object to 'bind' readline to this window. In addition the color of the readline prompt can be set using the SetPromptColor() member function. Note that the given color must be the index of a COLOR_PAIR. For details on this see the ncurses documentation If ncurses will use more than one window on the screen it might be necessary to redraw the screen before the cursor is displayed. Therefore, the Refresh() function must be overwritten. It is called before the cursor is put to its final location in the readline line and after all update to the screen was performed. Refresh() can be used to force a redisplay of the current input line from a derived class. This might be necessary after changes top the screen or window size. @section References - GNU Readline - GNU Ncurses **/ // ************************************************************************** #include "Shell.h" #include #include // strlen #include "tools.h" using namespace std; // -------------------------------------------------------------------------- // //!
