---|
| 5 | history [-h] [<num>] |
---|
| 6 | |
---|
| 7 | Lists previous commands and their event numbers. This is a UNIX-like |
---|
| 8 | history mechanism inside the VIS shell. |
---|
| 9 | |
---|
| 10 | Command options: |
---|
| 11 | |
---|
| 12 | -h |
---|
| 13 | Print the command usage. |
---|
| 14 | |
---|
| 15 | <num> |
---|
| 16 | Lists the last <num> events. Lists the last 30 events if <num> |
---|
| 17 | is not specified. |
---|
| 18 | |
---|
| 19 | History Substitution: |
---|
| 20 | |
---|
| 21 | The history substitution mechanism is a simpler version of the csh |
---|
| 22 | history substitution mechanism. It enables you to reuse words from |
---|
| 23 | previously typed commands. |
---|
| 24 | |
---|
| 25 | The default history substitution character is the `%' (`!' is default |
---|
| 26 | for shell escapes, and `#' marks the beginning of a comment). This can |
---|
| 27 | be changed using the "set" command. In this description '%' is used as |
---|
| 28 | the history_char. The `%' can appear anywhere in a line. A line |
---|
| 29 | containing a history substitution is echoed to the screen after the |
---|
| 30 | substitution takes place. `%' can be preceded by a `\' in order to |
---|
| 31 | escape the substitution, for example, to enter a `%' into an alias or |
---|
| 32 | to set the prompt. |
---|
| 33 | |
---|
| 34 | Each valid line typed at the prompt is saved. If the "history" |
---|
| 35 | variable is set (see help page for "set"), each line is also echoed to |
---|
| 36 | the history file. You can use the "history" command to list the |
---|
| 37 | previously typed commands. |
---|
| 38 | |
---|
| 39 | Substitutions: |
---|
| 40 | |
---|
| 41 | At any point in a line these history substitutions are available. |
---|
| 42 | |
---|
| 43 | %:0 |
---|
| 44 | Initial word of last command. |
---|
| 45 | |
---|
| 46 | %:n |
---|
| 47 | n-th argument of last command. |
---|
| 48 | |
---|
| 49 | %$ |
---|
| 50 | Last argument of last command. |
---|
| 51 | |
---|
| 52 | %* |
---|
| 53 | All but initial word of last command. |
---|
| 54 | |
---|
| 55 | %% |
---|
| 56 | Last command. |
---|
| 57 | |
---|
| 58 | %stuf |
---|
| 59 | Last command beginning with "stuf". |
---|
| 60 | |
---|
| 61 | %n |
---|
| 62 | Repeat the n-th command. |
---|
| 63 | |
---|
| 64 | %-n |
---|
| 65 | Repeat the n-th previous command. |
---|
| 66 | |
---|
| 67 | ^old^new |
---|
| 68 | Replace "old" with "new" in previous command. Trailing spaces |
---|
| 69 | are significant during substitution. Initial spaces are not |
---|
| 70 | significant. |
