14 Tcl_RecordAndEval(interp, cmd, flags)
15
17 Tcl_Interp *interp (in) Tcl interpreter in which to evaluate
18 command.
19 const char *cmd (in) Command (or sequence of commands) to
21 execute.
22 int flags (in) An OR'ed combination of flag bits.
24 TCL_NO_EVAL means record the command
25 but do not evaluate it.
26 TCL_EVAL_GLOBAL means evaluate the
27 command at global level instead of the
28 current stack level.

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_RecordAndE‐
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 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.
