Re: [dwm] dietline - minimalistic readline implementation

Oops I forgot to say that it supports a dmenu-mode (this code inherits from
the old eread program I send to the list few months ago).

Usage is quite simple:

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
        char *ret;

        dl_init();
        dl_prompt = "$ ";

        do {
                ret = dl_readline(argc, argv);
                if (ret) {
                        printf(" [line] '%s'\n", ret);
                        dl_hist_add(ret);
                }
        } while(ret!=NULL);

        dl_free();
}

Have fun!
