Re: Need info on input keys

This may not serve my purpose. In my application there is a socket connection between 2 daemons. And say if 
client sends the message,
the server receives the command the displays the output. If i give n 
messages/commands to client, the server will respond and
in turn it has to remember the previous commands on up-arrow just like 
the bash shell.
I want to implement key bindings and i want to enable the history option 
like bash shell in the client side.

 Have a look at the readline library, which bash uses.
