Safe Haskell None
Language Haskell98

Description

This module provides a low-level API to the line history stored in the InputT monad transformer.

For most application, it should suffice to instead use the following Settings flags:

  • autoAddHistory: add nonblank lines to the command history (True by default).
  • historyFile: read/write the history to a file before and after the line input session.

If you do want custom history behavior, you may need to disable the above default setting(s).
