  Description     : Extensible COmmand LIne library

libecoli provides helpers to build interactive command line interfaces.

Main features:

- Dynamic completion.
- Contextual help.
- Integrated with libedit, but can use any readline-like library.
- Modular: the CLI behavior is defined through an assembly of basic
  nodes.
- Extensible: the user can write its own nodes to provide specific
  features.
- C API.

I need this package as a direct dependency of grout[1] which I also
want to include in Debian.

There isn't any existing alternative that allow the construction of
interactive command line interfaces in C.

I plan on maintaining the package myself, being the upstream developer.

I need a Debian Developer to sponsor the upload.

Thanks!
