Have you checked out the man page? It's pretty extensive. Anyway; this is probably all you need to use it:
Code:
SYNOPSIS
       #include <stdio.h>
       #include <readline/readline.h>
       #include <readline/history.h>

       char *readline (prompt)
       char *prompt;

COPYRIGHT
       Readline  is Copyright (C) 1989, 1991, 1993, 1995, 1996 by
       the Free Software Foundation, Inc.

DESCRIPTION
       readline will read a line from the terminal and return it,
       using prompt as a prompt.  If prompt is null, no prompt is
       issued.  The line returned is allocated with malloc(3), so
       the  caller must free it when finished.  The line returned
       has the final newline removed, so only  the  text  of  the
       line remains.


I just found this by searching for "Readline documentation" using Google: http://cnswww.cns.cwru.edu/~chet/readline/readline.html
