Tcl_RecordAndEval(3) Tcl Library Procedures Tcl_RecordAndEval(3)
NAME
Tcl_RecordAndEval - save command on history list before evaluating
SYNOPSIS
#include <tcl.h>
int
Tcl_RecordAndEval(interp, cmd, flags)
ARGUMENTS
Tcl interpreter in which to evaluate command. Command (or sequence of
commands) to execute. An OR'ed combination of flag bits. TCL_NO_EVAL
means record the command but do not evaluate it. TCL_EVAL_GLOBAL means
evaluate the command at global level instead of the current stack
level.
DESCRIPTION
Tcl_RecordAndEval is invoked to record a command as an event on the
history list and then execute it using Tcl_Eval (or Tcl_GlobalEval if
the TCL_EVAL_GLOBAL bit is set in flags). It returns a completion code
such as TCL_OK just like Tcl_Eval and it leaves information in the
interpreter's result. If you do not want the command recorded on the
history list then you should invoke Tcl_Eval instead of Tcl_RecordAndE-
val. Normally Tcl_RecordAndEval is only called with top-level commands
typed by the user, since the purpose of history is to allow the user to
re-issue recently-invoked commands. If the flags argument contains the
TCL_NO_EVAL bit then the command is recorded without being evaluated.
Note that Tcl_RecordAndEval has been largely replaced by the object-
based procedure Tcl_RecordAndEvalObj. That object-based procedure
records and optionally executes a command held in a Tcl object instead
of a string.
