Description

Wraps interactive terminal programs with readline-style editing, command history, and convenience keys when they do not provide those features themselves. It is useful for older shells, REPLs, database prompts, and small command-line tools.

Command history can store sensitive input such as tokens, paths, or queries. Configure history files carefully or disable history for programs that handle secrets.
