Single line editor with history for console app

[ocgltd]

I am writing a console app that prompts for info from the user. I would like to implement a command history, tab for completion, etc.

Does Qt already have a library that does this?

I found reference to a "readline" library which might do some of this, but I'm hoping for something Qt specific

[Kent-Dorfman]

readline is the standard library for this in POSIX systems.

@ocgltd
I heartily recommend readline, having used it for many years. It is written in plain C. It works fine with a Qt (console) application. This is for Linux; if you are Windows I don't know how good/supported it is these days.
