# rmidish(1)

front-end to midish(1), using the readline(3) library

## NAME

**rmidish** – front-end to [midish(1)](/man/midish/1.md), using the [readline(3)](/man/readline/3.md) library

## SYNOPSIS

**rmidish**

## DESCRIPTION

The **rmidish** utility is a very simple front-end to [midish(1)](/man/midish/1.md) that uses the [readline(3)](/man/readline/3.md) library. It runs [midish(1)](/man/midish/1.md) in the background, issues an interactive prompt and passes user commands to [midish(1)](/man/midish/1.md). The initial purpose of **rmidish** was to illustrate how to use the **-v** option of [midish(1)](/man/midish/1.md) to create a front-end, but it can be run instead of [midish(1)](/man/midish/1.md) to make the later more user-friendly when used interactively.

## BUGS

The [midish(1)](/man/midish/1.md) executable has to be in the same directoy as **rmidish**
