AHELP for CIAO 3.4 varmm_rl_blink Context: varmmrl

Synopsis

Sets the "blink" mode of the ChIPS and Sherpa command line.

Syntax

Integer_Type varmm_rl_blink( 0 )
Integer_Type varmm_rl_blink( 1 )

Description

This function allows you to toggle the "flick to open bracket when you enter the matching close bracket" behaviour of the tools that use the S-Lang readline module (currently Sherpa and ChIPS). An input of 0 turns off the blinking, a non-zero input turns it on (which is the default). The function returns the previous setting (either 0 or 1).

Bugs

See the bugs page for the Varmmrl library on the CIAO website for an up-to-date listing of known bugs.
