Hello,

readline-6.3/doc/rluserman.texi, Node Bindable Readline Commands > Killing and Yanking states:

`backward-kill-line (C-x Rubout)'
     Kill backward to the beginning of the line.

`unix-line-discard (C-u)'
     Kill backward from the cursor to the beginning of the current line.

What is the difference between unix-line-discard and backward-kill-line ?

Reading the text I get the impression, that 'unix-line-discard' kills the text from the cursor to the beginning of the current line, but 'backward-kill-line' kills the text (from some undefined point) to the beginning of (some undefined) line.

Thanks in advance for the clarification.

Със здраве
  Дилян
