\subsection history-description Description
\c history is used to list, search and delete the history of commands used.
2012-06-05 12:24:42 +08:00
The following options are available:
2012-06-05 12:24:42 +08:00
- \c --save saves all changes in the history file. The shell automatically
saves the history file; this option is provided for internal use.
- \c --clear clears the history file. A prompt is displayed before the history
is erased.
- \c --search returns history items in keeping with the \c --prefix or
\c --contains options.
- \c --delete deletes history items.
- \c --prefix searches or deletes items in the history that begin with the
specified text string.
- \c --contains searches or deletes items in the history that contain the
specified text string.
2012-06-05 12:24:42 +08:00
If \c --search is specified without \c --contains or <code>--prefix</code>,
\c --contains will be assumed.
2012-06-05 12:24:42 +08:00
If \c --delete is specified without \c --contains or <code>--prefix</code>,
only a history item which exactly matches the parameter will be erased. No
prompt will be given. If \c --delete is specified with either of these
parameters, an interactive prompt will be displayed before any items are
deleted.
