Is there any command line editing package?

Hi
       I want to develop a command line environment using ruby, it can
           - edit the command line online, like vi mode or emacs mode
in bash
           - support command history and history searching
           - the command is not the real shell command. It is just a
string , when hit enter, this string will pass to another class to
interpret.

        Is there any package to use?
       Or any other advice?

Something like Readline?

You could also pick up cmd [0], which is no longer in development but is
fairly easily extended and might well suffice for simple cases.
