- Tcl_RecordAndEval \- save command on history list before evaluating
- .SH SYNOPSIS
- .nf
- \fB#include <tcl.h>\fR
- .sp
- int
- \fBTcl_RecordAndEval\fR(\fIinterp, cmd, eval\fR)
- .SH ARGUMENTS
- .AS Tcl_Interp *interp;
- .AP Tcl_Interp *interp in
- Tcl interpreter in which to evaluate command.
- .AP char *cmd in
- Command (or sequence of commands) to execute.
- .AP int eval in
- 0 means evaluate \fIcmd\fR, TCL_NO_EVAL means record it but don't

- .SH DESCRIPTION
- .PP
- \fBTcl_RecordAndEval\fR is invoked to record a command as an event
- on the history list and then execute it.
- It returns a completion code such as TCL_OK just like \fBTcl_Eval\fR
- and it leaves information in \fIinterp->result\fR.
- If you don't want the command recorded on the history list then
- you should invoke \fBTcl_Eval\fR instead of \fBTcl_RecordAndEval\fR.
- Normally \fBTcl_RecordAndEval\fR 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 \fIeval\fR argument is TCL_NO_EVAL then the command is
- recorded without being evaluated.
