I am trying to implement this behaviour in my golang CLI based program. The behaviour is simple, I just want to print something to console while user is typing something.

This is the code I have written. 

// %a code that reads the user input in a different thread% 
fmt.Print("\r[*] this is a message.") // erases the current line then prints the message
fmt.Print("\n\r") // creates new empty line
fmt.Print(">>> " + %CURRENT_STDIN_LINE_BUFFER%) // prints the prompt ">>>" then writes the user input

The only missing thing is equilavent of readline.get_line_buffer() python function in golang.

  • [A possibly limited implementation of GNU Readline exists](https://github.com/chzyer/readline) if you just want to use that, or you can [try an alternative](https://github.com/peterh/liner) that provides some similar functionality. –  Aug 13 '17 at 15:13
