Previous: Readline Frontend, Up: The arify Command Line Tool [Contents][Index]
Theoretically arify should work with most programs with a supported
frontend. However, there are situations where it may not work as expected:
arify does not work when LD_PRELOAD is not functioning.
arify may also fail to work, when the program it’s working with
does fancy things with Readline API (e.g. changing handler functions during
user input), which may break the internal states arify maintains.
Meanwhile, adding support for more frontends may not be as simple (or even
possible) as with Readline, due to the way how arify works.
