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.
