Associating Function Names and Bindings
---------------------------------------

   These functions allow you to find out what keys invoke named
functions and the functions invoked by a particular key sequence.  You
may also associate a new function name with an arbitrary function.

 - Function: rl_command_func_t * rl_named_function (const char *name)
     Return the function with name NAME.

 - Function: rl_command_func_t * rl_function_of_keyseq (const char
          *keyseq, Keymap map, int *type)
     Return the function invoked by KEYSEQ in keymap MAP.  If MAP is
     `NULL', the current keymap is used.  If TYPE is not `NULL', the
     type of the object is returned in the `int' variable it points to
     (one of `ISFUNC', `ISKMAP', or `ISMACR').

 - Function: char ** rl_invoking_keyseqs (rl_command_func_t *function)
     Return an array of strings representing the key sequences used to
     invoke FUNCTION in the current keymap.

 - Function: char ** rl_invoking_keyseqs_in_map (rl_command_func_t
          *function, Keymap map)
     Return an array of strings representing the key sequences used to
     invoke FUNCTION in the keymap MAP.

 - Function: void rl_function_dumper (int readable)
     Print the readline function names and the key sequences currently
     bound to them to `rl_outstream'.  If READABLE is non-zero, the
     list is formatted in such a way that it can be made part of an
     `inputrc' file and re-read.

 - Function: void rl_list_funmap_names (void)
     Print the names of all bindable Readline functions to
     `rl_outstream'.

 - Function: const char ** rl_funmap_names (void)
     Return a NULL terminated array of known function names.  The array
     is sorted.  The array itself is allocated, but not the strings
     inside.  You should `free()' the array when you are done, but not
     the pointers.

 - Function: int rl_add_funmap_entry (const char *name,
          rl_command_func_t *function)
     Add NAME to the list of bindable Readline command names, and make
     FUNCTION the function to be called when NAME is invoked.
