# Searches for a readline compatible library. If found, defines
10
# `HAVE_LIBREADLINE'. If the found library has the `add_history'
11
# function, sets also `HAVE_READLINE_HISTORY'. Also checks for the
12
# locations of the necessary include files and sets `HAVE_READLINE_H'
13
# or `HAVE_READLINE_READLINE_H' and `HAVE_READLINE_HISTORY_H' or
14
# 'HAVE_HISTORY_H' if the corresponding include files exists.
16
# The libraries that may be readline compatible are `libedit',
17
# `libeditline' and `libreadline'. Sometimes we need to link a
18
# termcap library for readline to work, this macro tests these cases
19
# too by trying to link with `libtermcap', `libcurses' or
20
# `libncurses' before giving up.
22
# Here is an example of how to use the information provided by this
23
# macro to perform the necessary includes or declarations in a C
26
# #ifdef HAVE_LIBREADLINE
27
# # if defined(HAVE_READLINE_READLINE_H)

# # include <readline/readline.h>
