ConsoleReader (Maverick Legacy - Server Assembly 1.7.61 API)

java.lang.Object
- jline.ConsoleReader

All Implemented Interfaces:

ConsoleOperations

Direct Known Subclasses:

Console
```
public class ConsoleReader
extends Object
implements ConsoleOperations
```
A reader for console applications. It supports custom tab-completion, saveable command history, and command line editing. On some platforms, platform-specific commands will need to be issued before the reader will function properly. See Terminal.initializeTerminal() for convenience methods for issuing platform-specific setup commands.
