       "The GNU readline library allows users to edit command lines as they
are typed in.  It can maintain a searchable history of previously entered
commands, letting you easily recall, edit and re-enter past commands.  It
features both Emacs-like and vi-like keybindings, making its usage
comfortable for anyone.")
