These functions allow searching of the history list for entries containing
a specific string.  Searching may be performed both forward and backward
from the current history position.  The search may be @dfn{anchored},
meaning that the string must match at the beginning of the history entry.
@cindex anchored search

@deftypefun int history_search (char *string, int direction)
Search the history for @var{string}, starting at the current history
offset.  If @var{direction} < 0, then the search is through previous entries,
else through subsequent.  If @var{string} is found, then
the current history index is set to that history entry, and the value
returned is the offset in the line of the entry where
@var{string} was found.  Otherwise, nothing is changed, and a -1 is
returned.
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun int history_search_prefix (char *string, int direction)
Search the history for @var{string}, starting at the current history
offset.  The search is anchored: matching lines must begin with
@var{string}.  If @var{direction} < 0, then the search is through previous
entries, else through subsequent.  If @var{string} is found, then the
current history index is set to that entry, and the return value is 0. 
Otherwise, nothing is changed, and a -1 is returned. 
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun int history_search_pos (char *string, int direction, int pos)
Search for @var{string} in the history list, starting at @var{pos}, an
absolute index into the list.  If @var{direction} is negative, the search
proceeds backward from @var{pos}, otherwise forward.  Returns the absolute
index of the history element where @var{string} was found, or -1 otherwise.
@end deftypefun

@node Managing the History File
@subsection Managing the History File

The History library can read the history from and write it to a file.
This section documents the functions for managing a history file.

@deftypefun int read_history (char *filename)
Add the contents of @var{filename} to the history list, a line at a
time.  If @var{filename} is @code{NULL}, then read from
@file{~/.history}.  Returns 0 if successful, or errno if not.
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun int read_history_range (char *filename, int from, int to)
Read a range of lines from @var{filename}, adding them to the history list.
Start reading at line @var{from} and end at @var{to}.  If
@var{from} is zero, start at the beginning.  If @var{to} is less than
@var{from}, then read until the end of the file.  If @var{filename} is
@code{NULL}, then read from @file{~/.history}.  Returns 0 if successful,
or @code{errno} if not.
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun int write_history (char *filename)
Write the current history to @var{filename}, overwriting @var{filename}
if necessary.  If @var{filename} is
@code{NULL}, then write the history list to @file{~/.history}.  Values
returned are as in @code{read_history ()}.
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun int append_history (int nelements, char *filename)
Append the last @var{nelements} of the history list to @var{filename}.
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun int history_truncate_file (char *filename, int nlines)
Truncate the history file @var{filename}, leaving only the last
@var{nlines} lines.
@end deftypefun

@node History Expansion
@subsection History Expansion

These functions implement @code{csh}-like history expansion.

@deftypefun int history_expand (char *string, char **output)
Expand @var{string}, placing the result into @var{output}, a pointer
to a string (@pxref{History Interaction}).  Returns:
@table @code
@item 0
If no expansions took place (or, if the only change in
the text was the de-slashifying of the history expansion
character);
@item 1
if expansions did take place;
@item -1
if there was an error in expansion;
@item 2
if the returned line should only be displayed, but not executed,
as with the @code{:p} modifier (@pxref{Modifiers}).
@end table

If an error ocurred in expansion, then @var{output} contains a descriptive
error message.
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun {char *} history_arg_extract (int first, int last, char *string)
Extract a string segment consisting of the @var{first} through @var{last}
arguments present in @var{string}.  Arguments are broken up as in Bash.
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun {char *} get_history_event (char *string, int *cindex, int qchar)
Returns the text of the history event beginning at @var{string} +
@var{*cindex}.  @var{*cindex} is modified to point to after the event
specifier.  At function entry, @var{cindex} points to the index into
@var{string} where the history event specification begins.  @var{qchar}
is a character that is allowed to end the event specification in addition
to the ``normal'' terminating characters.
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun {char **} history_tokenize (char *string)
Return an array of tokens parsed out of @var{string}, much as the
shell might.  The tokens are split on white space and on the
characters @code{()<>;&|$}, and shell quoting conventions are
obeyed.
@end deftypefun

@node History Variables
@section History Variables

This section describes the externally visible variables exported by
the GNU History Library.

@deftypevar int history_base
The logical offset of the first entry in the history list.
@end deftypevar

@deftypevar int history_length
The number of entries currently stored in the history list.
@end deftypevar

@deftypevar int max_input_history
The maximum number of history entries.  This must be changed using
@code{stifle_history ()}.
@end deftypevar

@deftypevar char history_expansion_char
The character that starts a history event.  The default is @samp{!}.
@end deftypevar

@deftypevar char history_subst_char
The character that invokes word substitution if found at the start of
a line.  The default is @samp{^}.
@end deftypevar

@deftypevar char history_comment_char
During tokenization, if this character is seen as the first character
of a word, then it and all subsequent characters up to a newline are
ignored, suppressing history expansion for the remainder of the line.
This is disabled by default.
@end deftypevar

@deftypevar {char *} history_no_expand_chars
The list of characters which inhibit history expansion if found immediately
following @var{history_expansion_char}.  The default is whitespace and
@samp{=}.
@end deftypevar
