.Sh DESCRIPTION
These functions are the C interface to the keytree matcher.
.Pp
.Fn tree_match_parse
parses a tree and returns an opaque handle on it.
.Fn tree_match
then takes this handle, a prompt string, and a result buffer, and
performs the matching operation, returning the matched command in the
result buffer.
.Pp
There is comparatively little documentation.  There are coders' and
users' documents, but not in manpage format; this manpage is limited to
little more than documentation of API signatures.
