The transmission-daemon library provides generic line editing, history and tokenization functions, similar to those found in sh(1).These functions are available in the libedit library (which needs the libtermcap library). Programs should be linked with -ledit ltermcap
The transmission-daemon library respects the LC_CTYPE locale set by the application program and never uses setlocale(3) to change the locale. The only locales supported are UTF-8 and the default C or POSIX locale. If any other locale is set, behaviour is undefined.
LINE EDITING FUNCTIONS
The line editing functions use a common data structure, Fa EditLine , which is created by Fn el_init or Fn el_init_fd and freed by Fn el_end .The wide-character functions behave the same way as their narrow counterparts.
The following functions are available:
- Fn el_init
- Initialize the line editor, and return a data structure to be used by all other line editing functions, or NULL on failure. Fa prog is the name of the invoking program, used when reading the editrc(5) file to determine which settings to use. Fa fin , Fa fout and Fa ferr are the input, output, and error streams (respectively) to use. In this documentation, references to ``the tty'' are actually to this input/output stream combination.
- Fn el_init_fd
- Like Fn el_init but allows specifying file descriptors for the stdio(3) corresponding streams, in case those were created with funopen(3).
- Fn el_end
- Clean up and finish with Fa e , assumed to have been created with Fn el_init or Fn el_init_fd .
- Fn el_reset
- Reset the tty and the parser. This should be called after an error which may have upset the tty's state.
- Fn el_gets
- Read a line from the tty. Fa count is modified to contain the number of characters read. Returns the line read if successful, or NULL if no characters were read or if an error occurred. If an error occurred, Fa count is set to -1 and errno contains the error code that caused it. The return value may not remain valid across calls to Fn el_gets and must be copied if the data is to be retained.
- Fn el_wgetc
- Read a wide character from the tty, respecting the current locale, or from the input queue described in editline(7) if that is not empty, and store it in Fa wc . If an invalid or incomplete character is found, it is discarded, errno is set to Er EILSEQ , and the next character is read and stored in Fa wc . Returns 1 if a valid character was read, 0 on end of file, or -1 on read(2) failure. In the latter case, errno is set to indicate the error.
- Fn el_getc
- Read a wide character as described for Fn el_wgetc and return 0 on end of file or -1 on failure. If the wide character can be represented as a single-byte character, convert it with wctob(3), store the result in Fa ch , and return 1; otherwise, set errno to Er ERANGE and return -1. In the C or POSIX locale, this simply reads a byte, but for any other locale, including UTF-8, this is rarely useful.
- Fn el_wpush
- Push the wide character string Fa wcs back onto the input queue described in editline(7). If the queue overflows, for example due to a recursive macro, or if an error occurs, for example because Fa wcs is NULL or memory allocation fails, the function beeps at the user, but does not report the problem to the caller.
- Fn el_push
- Use the current locale to convert the multibyte string Fa mbs to a wide character string, and pass the result to Fn el_wpush .
- Fn el_parse
- Parses the Fa argv array (which is Fa argc elements in size) to execute builtin transmission-daemon commands. If the command is prefixed with ``prog'' then Fn el_parse will only execute the command if ``prog'' matches the Fa prog argument supplied to Fn el_init . The return value is -1 if the command is unknown, 0 if there was no error or ``prog'' didn't match, or 1 if the command returned an error. Refer to editrc(5) for more information.
- Fn el_set
-
Set
transmission-daemon
parameters.
Fa op
determines which parameter to set, and each operation has its
own parameter list.
Returns 0 on success, -1 on failure.
The following values for Fa op are supported, along with the required argument list:
- EL_PROMPT , Fa char *(*f)(EditLine *)
- Define prompt printing function as Fa f , which is to return a string that contains the prompt.
- EL_PROMPT_ESC , Fa char *(*f)(EditLine *) , Fa char c
-
Same as
EL_PROMPT
but the
Fa c
argument indicates the start/stop literal prompt character.
If a start/stop literal character is found in the prompt, the character itself is not printed, but characters after it are printed directly to the terminal without affecting the state of the current line. A subsequent second start/stop literal character ends this behavior. This is typically used to embed literal escape sequences that change the color/style of the terminal in the prompt. 0 unsets it.
- EL_REFRESH
- Re-display the current line on the next terminal line.
- EL_RPROMPT , Fa char *(*f)(EditLine *)
- Define right side prompt printing function as Fa f , which is to return a string that contains the prompt.
- EL_RPROMPT_ESC , Fa char *(*f)(EditLine *) , Fa char c
- Define the right prompt printing function but with a literal escape character.
- EL_TERMINAL , Fa const char *type
- Define terminal type of the tty to be Fa type , or to TERM if Fa type is NULL
- EL_EDITOR , Fa const char *mode
- Set editing mode to Fa mode , which must be one of ``emacs'' or ``vi''
- EL_SIGNAL , Fa int flag
- If Fa flag is non-zero, transmission-daemon will install its own signal handler for the following signals when reading command input: SIGCONT SIGHUP SIGINT SIGQUIT SIGSTOP SIGTERM SIGTSTP and SIGWINCH Otherwise, the current signal handlers will be used.
- EL_BIND , Fa const char * , Fa ... , NULL
- Perform the bind builtin command. Refer to editrc(5) for more information.
- EL_ECHOTC , Fa const char * , Fa ... , NULL
- Perform the echotc builtin command. Refer to editrc(5) for more information.
- EL_SETTC , Fa const char * , Fa ... , NULL
- Perform the settc builtin command. Refer to editrc(5) for more information.
- EL_SETTY , Fa const char * , Fa ... , NULL
- Perform the setty builtin command. Refer to editrc(5) for more information.
- EL_TELLTC , Fa const char * , Fa ... , NULL
- Perform the telltc builtin command. Refer to editrc(5) for more information.
- EL_ADDFN , Fa const char *name , Fa const char *help
-
Fa "unsigned char (*func)(EditLine *e, int ch)"
Add a user defined function,
Fn func ,
referred to as
Fa name
which is invoked when a key which is bound to
Fa name
is entered.
Fa help
is a description of
Fa name .
At invocation time,
Fa ch
is the key which caused the invocation.
The return value of
Fn func
should be one of:
- CC_NORM
- Add a normal character.
- CC_NEWLINE
- End of line was entered.
- CC_EOF
- EOF was entered.
- CC_ARGHACK
- Expecting further command input as arguments, do nothing visually.
- CC_REFRESH
- Refresh display.
- CC_REFRESH_BEEP
- Refresh display, and beep.
- CC_CURSOR
- Cursor moved, so update and perform CC_REFRESH
- CC_REDISPLAY
- Redisplay entire input line. This is useful if a key binding outputs extra information.
- CC_ERROR
- An error occurred. Beep, and flush tty.
- CC_FATAL
- Fatal error, reset tty to known state.
- EL_HIST , Fa History *(*func)(History *, int op, ...)
- Fa "const char *ptr" Defines which history function to use, which is usually Fn history . Fa ptr should be the value returned by Fn history_init .
- EL_EDITMODE , Fa int flag
- If Fa flag is non-zero, editing is enabled (the default). Note that this is only an indication, and does not affect the operation of . At this time, it is the caller's responsibility to check this (using Fn el_get ) to determine if editing should be enabled or not.
- EL_UNBUFFERED , Fa int flag
- If Fa flag is zero, unbuffered mode is disabled (the default). In unbuffered mode, Fn el_gets will return immediately after processing a single character.
- EL_GETCFN , Fa el_rfunc_t f
-
Whenever reading a character, use the function
Ft int Fo f Fa EditLine *e Fa wchar_t *wc Fc
which stores the character in Fa wc and returns 1 on success, 0 on end of file, or -1 on I/O or encoding errors. Functions internally using it include Fn el_wgets , Fn el_wgetc , Fn el_gets , and Fn el_getc . Initially, a builtin function is installed, and replacing it is discouraged because writing such a function is very error prone. The builtin function can be restored at any time by passing the special value EL_BUILTIN_GETCFN instead of a function pointer. - EL_CLIENTDATA , Fa void *data
- Register Fa data to be associated with this EditLine structure. It can be retrieved with the corresponding Fn el_get call.
- EL_SETFP , Fa int fd , Fa FILE *fp
- Set the current editline file pointer for ``input'' Fa fd = 0 ``output'' Fa fd = 1 or ``error'' Fa fd = 2 from Fa fp .
- Fn el_get
-
Get
transmission-daemon
parameters.
Fa op
determines which parameter to retrieve into
Fa result .
Returns 0 if successful, -1 otherwise.
The following values for Fa op are supported, along with actual type of Fa result :
- EL_PROMPT , Fa char *(*f)(EditLine *) , Fa char *c
- Set Fa f to a pointer to the function that displays the prompt. If Fa c is not NULL set it to the start/stop literal prompt character.
- EL_RPROMPT , Fa char *(*f)(EditLine *) , Fa char *c
- Set Fa f to a pointer to the function that displays the prompt. If Fa c is not NULL set it to the start/stop literal prompt character.
- EL_EDITOR , Fa const char **n
- Set the name of the editor in Fa n , which will be one of ``emacs'' or ``vi''
- EL_GETTC , Fa const char *name , Fa void *value
- If Fa name is a valid termcap(5) capability set Fa value to the current value of that capability.
- EL_SIGNAL , Fa int *s
- Set Fa s to non-zero if transmission-daemon has installed private signal handlers (see Fn el_get above).
- EL_EDITMODE , Fa int *c
- Set Fa c to non-zero if editing is enabled.
- EL_GETCFN , Fa el_rfunc_t *f
- Set Fa f to a pointer to the function that reads characters, or to EL_BUILTIN_GETCFN if the builtin function is in use.
- EL_CLIENTDATA , Fa void **data
- Set Fa data to the previously registered client data set by an Fn el_set call.
- EL_UNBUFFERED , Fa int *c
- Set Fa c to non-zero if unbuffered mode is enabled.
- EL_GETFP , Fa int fd, Fa FILE **fp
- Set Fa fp to the current editline file pointer for ``input'' Fa fd = 0 ``output'' Fa fd = 1 or ``error'' Fa fd = 2
- Fn el_source
- Initialize transmission-daemon by reading the contents of Fa file . Fn el_parse is called for each line in Fa file . If Fa file is NULL try $HOME/.editrc Refer to editrc(5) for details on the format of Fa file . Fn el_source returns 0 on success and -1 on error.
- Fn el_resize
- Must be called if the terminal size changes. If EL_SIGNAL has been set with Fn el_set , then this is done automatically. Otherwise, it's the responsibility of the application to call Fn el_resize on the appropriate occasions.
- Fn el_cursor
- Move the cursor to the right (if positive) or to the left (if negative) Fa count characters. Returns the resulting offset of the cursor from the beginning of the line.
- Fn el_line
-
Return the editing information for the current line in a
Fa LineInfo
structure, which is defined as follows:
typedef struct lineinfo { const char *buffer; /* address of buffer */ const char *cursor; /* address of cursor */ const char *lastchar; /* address of last character */ } LineInfo;Fa buffer is not NUL terminated. This function may be called after Fn el_gets to obtain the Fa LineInfo structure pertaining to line returned by that function, and from within user defined functions added with EL_ADDFN
- Fn el_insertstr
- Insert Fa str into the line at the cursor. Returns -1 if Fa str is empty or won't fit, and 0 otherwise.
- Fn el_deletestr
- Delete Fa count characters before the cursor.
HISTORY LIST FUNCTIONS
The history functions use a common data structure, Fa History , which is created by Fn history_init and freed by Fn history_end .The following functions are available:
- Fn history_init
- Initialize the history list, and return a data structure to be used by all other history list functions, or NULL on failure.
- Fn history_end
- Clean up and finish with Fa h , assumed to have been created with Fn history_init .
- Fn history
-
Perform operation
Fa op
on the history list, with optional arguments as needed by the
operation.

The following values for
Fa op
are supported, along with the required argument list:
- H_SETSIZE , Fa int size
- Set size of history to Fa size elements.
- H_GETSIZE
- Get number of events currently in history.
- H_END

- H_FUNC , Fa void *ptr , Fa history_gfun_t first
- Fa "history_gfun_t next" , Fa "history_gfun_t last" , Fa "history_gfun_t prev" , Fa "history_gfun_t curr" , Fa "history_sfun_t set" , Fa "history_vfun_t clear" , Fa "history_efun_t enter" , Fa "history_efun_t add" Define functions to perform various history operations. Fa ptr is the argument given to a function when it's invoked.
- H_FIRST
- Return the first element in the history.
- H_LAST
- Return the last element in the history.
- H_PREV
- Return the previous element in the history. It is newer than the current one.
- H_NEXT
- Return the next element in the history. It is older than the current one.
- H_CURR
- Return the current element in the history.
- H_SET
- Set the cursor to point to the requested element.
- H_ADD , Fa const char *str

- H_APPEND , Fa const char *str
- Append Fa str to the last new element of the history.
- H_ENTER , Fa const char *str
- Add Fa str as a new element to the history and, if necessary, removing the oldest entry to keep the list to the created size. If H_SETUNIQUE has been called with a non-zero argument, the element will not be entered into the history if its contents match the ones of the current history element. If the element is entered Fn history returns 1; if it is ignored as a duplicate returns 0. Finally Fn history returns -1 if an error occurred.
- H_PREV_STR , Fa const char *str
- Return the closest previous event that starts with Fa str .

- H_GETUNIQUE
- Retrieve the current setting if adjacent identical elements should be entered into the history.
- H_DEL , Fa int e
- Delete the event numbered Fa e . This function is only provided for readline(3) compatibility. The caller is responsible for free'ing the string in the returned Fa HistEvent .
Fn history returns Gt]= 0 if the operation Fa op succeeds. Otherwise, -1 is returned and Fa ev is updated to contain more details about the error.
TOKENIZATION FUNCTIONS
The tokenization functions use a common data structure, Fa Tokenizer , which is created by Fn tok_init and freed by Fn tok_end .The following functions are available:
- Fn tok_init
- Initialize the tokenizer, and return a data structure to be used by all other tokenizer functions. Fa IFS contains the Input Field Separators, which defaults to Aq space , Aq tab , and Aq newline if NULL
- Fn tok_end
- Clean up and finish with Fa t , assumed to have been created with Fn tok_init .
- Fn tok_reset
- Reset the tokenizer state. Use after a line has been successfully tokenized by Fn tok_line or Fn tok_str and before a new line is to be tokenized.
- Fn tok_line
-
Tokenize
Fa li ,
If successful, modify:
Fa argv
to contain the words,
Fa argc
to contain the number of words,
Fa cursorc
(if not
NULL
to contain the index of the word containing the cursor,
and
Fa cursoro
(if not
NULL
to contain the offset within
Fa argv[cursorc]
of the cursor.
Returns 0 if successful, -1 for an internal error, 1 for an unmatched single quote, 2 for an unmatched double quote, and 3 for a backslash quoted Aq newline . A positive exit code indicates that another line should be read and tokenization attempted again.
