# Reline

Reline is compatible with the API of Ruby's stdlib 'readline', GNU Readline and Editline by pure Ruby implementation.

## Usage

### Single line editing mode

It's compatible with the readline standard library.

See [the document of readline stdlib](https://ruby-doc.org/stdlib/exts/readline/Readline.html) or [bin/example](https://github.com/ruby/reline/blob/master/bin/example).

### Multi-line editing mode

```ruby
require &quot;reline&quot;

prompt = 'prompt&gt; '
use_history = true

begin
  while true
    text = Reline.readmultiline(prompt, use_history) do |multiline_input|
      # Accept the input until `end` is entered
      multiline_input.split.last == &quot;end&quot;
    end

    puts 'You entered:'
    puts text
  end
# If you want to exit, type Ctrl-C
rescue Interrupt
  puts '^C'
  exit 0
end
```

```bash
$ ruby example.rb
prompt&gt; aaa
prompt&gt; bbb
prompt&gt; end
You entered:
aaa
bbb
end
```
