2016-05-22Document el_wpush(3) and fix the description of el_push(3).Ingo Schwarze
Improve precision in the description of the "bind" builtin command. Tweak terminology to better match editline(7).
2016-05-21Simple sync with NetBSD, mostly to avoid confusion of arguments andIngo Schwarze
return values.
2016-05-21Fix the prototype used by EL_GETCFN, mention the associated typedef name,Ingo Schwarze
document the return values, expand the list of affected functions, warn against using EL_GETCFN, and clarify some wording and notation.
2016-05-10Fix next_history() and previous_history():Ingo Schwarze
* The meaning of "next" and "previous" is exchanged in readline(3) with respect to editline(3); this part of the patch from Bastian Maerkisch. * next_history() can move beyond the newest entry; issue pointed out by Bastian Maerkisch, fix by me. While here, make the documentation of ed-next-history, ed-prev-history, H_NEXT, and H_PREV more precise. OK czarkoff@.
2016-04-20New editline(7) manual, explaining to end-users how line editing worksIngo Schwarze
in programs like ftp(1), sftp(1), bc(1), and cdio(1) that use libedit. The existing editrc(5) manual only explains customization, and the existing editline(3) manual only explains the C language interface. Already listing all editor functions and all default key bindings, but in other respects, not 100% complete yet, and due to the sheer size, some bugs may have slipped, but all that can be fixed in the tree. OK and tweaks jmc@. Also seems reasonable to Christian Heckendorf <mbie at ulmus dot me>.
2016-03-21Markup fixes: use .Ev and .Er where appropriate.Ingo Schwarze
While here, also use \-1 rather than -1; not sure that's really better, but Thomas is right it should at least be consistent within a page. From Thomas Klausner <wiz @ NetBSD>.

"and" and "or" to join sentence clauses, and you can use commas, but both hinders reading;

- wide character (noun) - wide-character (adjective) this is the "fix of least resistance", and appears to be in line with posix style; a tiny fix still needed for curses, but i'll mail that upstream;

2008-06-26First pass at removing clauses 3 and 4 from NetBSD licenses.Ray Lai
Not sure what's more surprising: how long it took for NetBSD to catch up to the rest of the BSDs (including UCB), or the amount of code that NetBSD has claimed for itself without attributing to the actual authors. OK deraadt@

2003-10-31Update to NetBSD libedit (from Oct 1, 2003), adding some stringOtto Moerbeek
cleaning and history bug fixes. The code includes GNU libreadline functionality, but the corresponding header files are not installed, since some libreadline functions are missing. There are some minor API changes, notably: old: EditLine *el_init(const char *, FILE *, FILE *); new: EditLine *el_init(const char *, FILE *, FILE *, FILE *); old: HistEvent *history(History *h, int op, ...); new: int history(History *h, HistEvent *ev, int op, ...); plus some changes in operation names. See editline(3) for details. Tested by djm@, mouring@, jmc@. ok deraadt@

2003-05-23- typosJason McIntyre
- whitespace at EOL - new sentence, new line
2000-04-15Mostly punctuation fixes.Aaron Campbell
1999-07-09- remove all trailing whitespaceAaron Campbell
* except when it is escaped with a `\' at the end of the line - fix remaining .Nm usage as well - this is from a patch I received from kwesterback@home.com, who has been working on some scripts for fixing formatting errors in mdoc'd man pages Ok, so there could be a cost/benefit debate with this commit, but since I have the patch we might as well commit it...
1999-07-07when using `-' as a negative sign, escape it with a backslash so troff knowsAaron Campbell
it's not supposed to be a hyphen/dash
1999-07-07The proper order of the ``introductory'' macros in a man page is .Dd/.Dt/.Os.Aaron Campbell
Out of the approximately 1450 man pages, only about 90 of them were wrong. Thanks to kwesterback@home.com for coming up with a script and patch to repair this. The patch also inserted a .Os macro in the few man pages that were missing one.
1999-05-16Cleanup xrefs under SEE ALSO. Specifically:Alex Feldman
- Sort xrefs by section, and then alphabetically. - Add missing commas between xref items. - Remove commas from the last xref entry. - Remove duplicate entries.
