String Suggest

Command line utility to print auto-complete suggestions

This small and fast C code reads a list of possible newline separated phrases from a file, and prints the ones containing a given substring. Useful for the core of an autocomplete feature.

There are two versions of the code that have identical interfaces, but have different internals.

strsug.c

The portable variant that uses the C standard library to read and write.

sysstrsug.c

The Unix-specific variant that uses system calls to read and write.
