The long-form documentation is really useful:

https://tiswww.case.edu/php/chet/readline/rluserman.html - GNU Readline User Interface (info rluserman)

https://tiswww.case.edu/php/chet/readline/readline.html - The GNU Readline Library (info readline, long-form equivalent to the readline(3) man page)

Why these are hidden away on some random .edu web site rather than being under gnu.org... -\_:/_/-

(OK, to be fair it's on the official GNU Readline web page, but why _that_ isn't on gnu.org is the real source of my shrug!)

The Bash manual also includes a brief summary of readline usage (I guess they too didn't know where to find Readline's official documenation) and can be read at https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Readline-... or info '(bash)Readline'.
