cpython/Lib/cmd.py

# A generic class to build line-oriented command interpreters
#
# Interpreters constructed with this class obey the following conventions:
#
# 1. End of file on input is processed as the command 'EOF'.
# 2. A command is parsed out of each line by collecting the prefix composed
#    of characters in the identchars member.
# 3. A command `foo' is dispatched to a method 'do_foo()'; the do_ method
#    is passed a single argument consisting of the remainder of the line.
# 4. Typing an empty line repeats the last command.  (Actually, it calls the
#    method `emptyline', which may be overridden in a subclass.)
# 5. There is a predefined `help' method.  Given an argument `topic', it
#    calls the command `help_topic'.  With no arguments, it lists all topics
#    with defined help_ functions, broken into up to three topics; documented
#    commands, miscellaneous help topics, and undocumented commands.
# 6. The command '?' is a synonym for `help'.  The command '!' is a synonym
#    for `shell', if a do_shell method exists.
#
# The `default' method may be overridden to intercept commands for which there
# is no do_ method.
#
# The data member `self.ruler' sets the character used to draw separator lines
# in the help messages.  If empty, no ruler line is drawn.  It defaults to "=".
#
# If the value of `self.intro' is nonempty when the cmdloop method is called,
# it is printed out on interpreter startup.  This value may be overridden
# via an optional argument to the cmdloop() method.
#
# The data members `self.doc_header', `self.misc_header', and
# `self.undoc_header' set the headers used for the help function's
# listings of documented functions, miscellaneous topics, and undocumented
# functions respectively.
#
# These interpreters use raw_input; thus, if the readline module is loaded,
# they automatically support Emacs-like command history and editing features.
