aryairani / haskeline

A Haskell library for line input in command-line programs.

Haskeline

The Haskeline library provides a user interface for line input in command-line programs. This library is similar in purpose to readline, but since it is written in Haskell it is (hopefully) more easily used in other Haskell programs.
