About:
rlwrap is a readline wrapper, a small utility that uses the GNU readline library to allow the editing of keyboard input for any other command. It maintains a separate input history for each command, and can TAB-expand words using all previously seen words and/or a user-specified file.

[»] An excellent tool
by Charles Childers - Jul 22nd 2006 20:04:32

I do a lot of work in a console environment, and rlwrap is a very handy tool in many areas. It's well worth having for any systems administrator or serious programmer.

[»] Works well

Just a note to say that rlwrap saved the day for me here at work. I use it to wrap a console based admin tool that has no command line editing or history.

Keep up the good work!
