[Bug-readline] Bug in the readline documentation

[Vesa-Matti J Kari]

Hello,

The background: I was searching for a way to completely disable the
command history in psql (PostgreSQL front-end).

The manual page for readline(3) says:

----------- sample begins -------------------------------
history-size (0)
Set  the maximum number of history entries saved in the
history list.  If set to zero, the number of entries in the
history list is not limited.
----------- sample ends ---------------------------------

The same information is in the other readline docs too.


However, that information seems to be wrong. In my
~/.inputrc I have the following:

----------- sample begins -------------------------------
$if psql
        set disable-completion on
        set history-size 0
$endif
----------- sample ends ---------------------------------

and the psql command history will remain empty (just like
I wanted it to be).

Regards,
