Linenoise is a minimalistic alternative to the GNU readline library. The original project can be found here. The library itself is BSD licensed, so you are actually free to use it in any project you want, unlike with readline.

This is a wrapping for linenoise in the Nim language. You can install it with

$ nimble install linenoise

Check in linenoise.nim (a wrapping of clinenoise.h) for exposed types and procs. Functionally, everything should be equivalent to using the C version.

The linenoise prefix has been removed from the exposed types and procs, so linenoiseHistoryAdd in the C version becomes historyAdd in the Nim version.

However, the linenoise function in C becomes linenoisePrompt in Nim.
