Readline ¶
The execution of standard output modes, in the absence of an external input (link entered through the command line, a pipe, a container DLC or a text file, the extension of a browser ...), start the readline of ZDL. It is almost identical to the Bash readline: use the same history and type the Enter key to execute a command. But the ZDL readline accepts, as commands, only links that take the form of an http, https or ftp URL, a link irc/xdcc and torrent files.
In the presence of spaces in the URL, these are automatically converted to the standard percent code for URLs (any spaces to the left and right of the URL are ignored). Each link must be entered individually, when the Enter key is pressed.
Using the mouse, you can paste a list of links, but these must be arranged in different rows.
Empty lines and links already registered are ignored, strings that do not correspond to an URL are explicitly rejected and recorded in the log file produced within the same directory, while accepted URLs are recorded gradually in the file automatically managed by ZDL, such as download queue.
At any time, while entering links via the readline, you can change the download queue with the default editor (Editor). The download processes are started by the command M-x, which closes the readline and executes the download queue.
