  21    GDB reads its input commands via the <dfn>readline</dfn> interface.  This
  22 <small>GNU</small> library provides consistent behavior for programs which provide a
  23 command line interface to the user.  Advantages are <small>GNU</small> Emacs-style
  24 or <dfn>vi</dfn>-style inline editing of commands, <code>csh</code>-like history
  25 substitution, and a storage and recall of command history across
  26 debugging sessions.
  27
  28    <p>You may control the behavior of command line editing in GDB with the
  29 command <code>set</code>.
