This may not serve my purpose. In my application there is a socket
connection between 2 daemons. And say if client sends the message,
the server receives the command the displays the output. If i give n
messages/commands to client, the server will respond and
in turn it has to remember the previous commands on up-arrow just like the
bash shell. I want to implement key bindings and i want to enable the
history option like bash shell in the client side.
