<h3 class="section">33.1 History Expansion</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p><a name="index-history-expansion-3293"></a>
|
|
The History library provides a history expansion feature that is similar
|
|
to the history expansion provided by <code>csh</code>. This section
|
|
describes the syntax used to manipulate the history information.
|
|
|
|
<p>History expansions introduce words from the history list into
|
|
the input stream, making it easy to repeat commands, insert the
|
|
arguments to a previous command into the current input line, or
|
|
fix errors in previous commands quickly.
|
|
|
|
<p>History expansion takes place in two parts. The first is to determine
|
|
which line from the history list should be used during substitution.
|
|
The second is to select portions of that line for inclusion into the
|
|
current one. The line selected from the history is called the
|
|
<dfn>event</dfn>, and the portions of that line that are acted upon are
|
|
called <dfn>words</dfn>. Various <dfn>modifiers</dfn> are available to manipulate
|
|
the selected words. The line is broken into words in the same fashion
|
|
that Bash does, so that several words
|
|
surrounded by quotes are considered one word.
|
|
History expansions are introduced by the appearance of the
|
|
history expansion character, which is ‘<samp><span class="samp">!</span></samp>’ by default.
