Subpackage Descriptions
set This is the readline:std metapackage. It pulls in all subpackages of readline:std.
primary The GNU Readline library provides a set of functions for use by applications that allow users to edit command lines as they are typed in. Both Emacs and vi editing modes are available. The Readline library includes additional functions to maintain a list of previously-entered command lines, to recall and perhaps reedit those lines, and perform csh-like history expansion on previous commands.
dev This is the developer subpackage of the readline:std port. It may contain headers, pc files, static and PIC libraries and SO links.
man This is the man page subpackage of the readline:std port.
