Description

Provides a command-line editing library that applications use for interactive prompts, history, and tokenization. Shell-like tools and command interfaces use it to make typing commands easier.

Most users receive it as a dependency. Developers use it when building terminal programs that need line editing without implementing that behavior from scratch.
