Description

Interactive command-line programs can offer line editing without depending on readline or libedit.

This package is useful for developers building small shells, REPLs, prompts, or terminal tools. It is a library component, so most users receive it as a dependency rather than opening it directly.

Input libraries handle user keystrokes and history. Review how an application stores history if commands may contain secrets.
