# rlwrap

> Add line editing, persistent history and prompt completion to a REPL command.
> More information: <https://manned.org/rlwrap>.

- Run a REPL command with line editing, persistent history and prompt completion:

`rlwrap {{command}}`

- Use all words seen on input and output for prompt completion:

`rlwrap {{[-r|--remember]}} {{command}}`

- Better prompt completion if prompts contain ANSI colour codes:

`rlwrap {{[-A|--ansi-colour-aware]}} {{command}}`

- Enable filename completion (case sensitive):

`rlwrap {{[-c|--complete-filenames]}} {{command}}`

- Add coloured prompts, use colour name, or an ASCI-conformant colour specification. Use an uppercase colour name for bold styling:

`rlwrap {{[-p|--prompt-colour=]}}{{black|red|green|yellow|blue|cyan|purple|white|colour_spec}} {{command}}`
