10 Extended interface to GNU Readline

The library (vicare readline) extends the basic readline API exported by (vicare) ((vicare-scheme)Readline interface) with features specific to the GNU Readline library. The following bindings:

readline-enabled?
readline
make-readline-input-port

exported by (vicare) are reexported by (vicare readline).

Function: rl-version

If support for readline is enabled and the linked library is GNU Readline: return an exact integer representing the GNU Readline version number as encoded in the C symbol RL_READLINE_VERSION; else return #f. When this function returns #f: no other GNU Readline functions must be called, lest the process be aborted.
