  <h2>
   SYNOPSIS
  </h2>
  <p class="indent" style="white-space:nowrap;">
   <code>VL_LIB_READLINE</code>
  </p>
  <h2>
   DESCRIPTION
  </h2>
  <div class="indent">
   <p>
    Searches for a readline compatible library. If found, defines
    `HAVE_LIBREADLINE'. If the found library has the `add_history' function,
    sets also `HAVE_READLINE_HISTORY'. Also checks for the locations of the
    necessary include files and sets `HAVE_READLINE_H' or
    `HAVE_READLINE_READLINE_H' and `HAVE_READLINE_HISTORY_H' or
    'HAVE_HISTORY_H' if the corresponding include files exists.
   </p>
   <p>
    The libraries that may be readline compatible are `libedit', `libeditline'
    and `libreadline'. Sometimes we need to link a termcap library for readline
    to work, this macro tests these cases too by trying to link with
    `libtermcap', `libcurses' or `libncurses' before giving up.
   </p>
   <p>
    Here is an example of how to use the information provided by this macro to
    perform the necessary includes or declarations in a C file:
   </p>
   <pre>
  #ifdef HAVE_LIBREADLINE
  #  if defined(HAVE_READLINE_READLINE_H)
  #    include &lt;readline/readline.h&gt;
  #  elif defined(HAVE_READLINE_H)
  #    include &lt;readline.h&gt;
  #  else /* !defined(HAVE_READLINE_H) */
  extern char *readline ();
  #  endif /* !defined(HAVE_READLINE_H) */
  char *cmdline = NULL;
  #else /* !defined(HAVE_READLINE_READLINE_H) */
    /* no readline */
  #endif /* HAVE_LIBREADLINE */

  #ifdef HAVE_READLINE_HISTORY
  #  if defined(HAVE_READLINE_HISTORY_H)
  #    include &lt;readline/history.h&gt;
  #  elif defined(HAVE_HISTORY_H)
  #    include &lt;history.h&gt;
  #  else /* !defined(HAVE_HISTORY_H) */
  extern void add_history ();
  extern int write_history ();
  extern int read_history ();
  #  endif /* defined(HAVE_READLINE_HISTORY_H) */
    /* no history */
  #endif /* HAVE_READLINE_HISTORY */
</pre>
