char * Readline::Compare ( const std::string &  str, const std::string &  txt  )

static

This is a static helper for the compilation of a completion-list. It compares the two inputs (str and txt) to a maximum of the size of txt. If they match, memory is allocated with malloc and a pointer to the null-terminated version of str is returned.

Parameters

str	A reference to the string which is checked (e.g. "Makefile.am")
txt	A reference to the part of the string the user has already typed, e.g. "Makef"

Returns

A pointer to memory allocated with malloc containing the string str
