Hi there,


I have the task to build a shell and a Cisco or Juniper like Command
Line Interpreter (CLI) for some router and will be using the C (or
C++) programming language.


I think that I have some basic ideas how to attack the problem using
the gnu readline library to build the shell and some compiler
construction kit like pccts/antlr to build the command line
interpreter.


I guess, Rapid Logics (Windriver these days) RC for CLI would be a
possible solution, but I'd like to stick with freely available tools
(open src, berkeley, gnu,...) as far as possible.


This problem has been solved before, but I don't seem to find any good
URLs, papers, articles or books. Any help would be greately appreciated.


Thanks,
Eric
