Hello from France.This is related to the RefPerSys <http://refpersys.org/> open source inference engine (GPLv3+) project on github <https://github.com/RefPerSys/ RefPerSys/> developed on Linux/Debian/x86-64/trixie.Is there some GNU readline-8.2 API to preset the buffer?
Yes. You set the variable
rl_startup_hook
to the address of a function that inserts the desired text into the
line using rl_insert_text().
You could potentially use the same startup hook throughout your program,
keep the preset text in a global or file-scope variable, and have the
function insert it whenever it's called (or, if it's a null string, don't
insert anything). Then you can modify the text whenever you like.
This is how the bash read builtin's -i option works. Look at
builtins/read.def:set_itext().
