13       int
14       Tcl_RecordAndEval(interp, cmd, flags)
15

ARGUMENTS

17       Tcl_Interp *interp (in)          Tcl  interpreter  in which to evaluate
18                                        command.

20       const char *cmd (in)             Command (or sequence of  commands)  to
21                                        execute.
22
23       int flags (in)                   An  OR'ed  combination  of  flag bits.
24                                        TCL_NO_EVAL means record  the  command
25                                        but     do     not     evaluate    it.

DESCRIPTION

33       Tcl_RecordAndEval is invoked to record a command as  an  event  on  the
34       history  list  and then execute it using Tcl_Eval (or Tcl_GlobalEval if
35       the TCL_EVAL_GLOBAL bit is set in flags).  It returns a completion code
36       such  as  TCL_OK  just  like  Tcl_Eval and it leaves information in the
37       interpreter's result.  If you do not want the command recorded  on  the
38       history list then you should invoke Tcl_Eval instead of Tcl_RecordAndEā€
39       val.  Normally Tcl_RecordAndEval is only called with top-level commands
40       typed by the user, since the purpose of history is to allow the user to
41       re-issue recently-invoked commands.  If the flags argument contains the
42       TCL_NO_EVAL bit then the command is recorded without being evaluated.
43
44       Note  that  Tcl_RecordAndEval  has  been largely replaced by the value-
45       based  procedure  Tcl_RecordAndEvalObj.   That  value-based   procedure
46       records  and  optionally executes a command held in a Tcl value instead
47       of a string.
