Description-en: development files for libeditline
This is a line-editing library. It can be linked into almost any program
to provide command-line editing and recall. It is call-compatible with a
subset of the FSF readline library, but it is a fraction of the size (and
offers fewer features).
.
This package contains the developer files: static libraries, headers,
manpages.
