.TH HISTORY 1 "30 July 1991"
.SH NAME
\-, \-\|\-, \-p, \-\|\-p \- shell history programs
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B \-
.RI [ pattern ...]
.RI [ substitution ...]
.SH DESCRIPTION
This set of programs provides a crude history mechanism for the shell
.IR rc (1).
It is based on the v8 UNIX programs
.IR = ,
.IR == ,
etc.
.PP
The program
.RI `` \- ''
runs the shell on the command it is requested to find.
The program
.RI `` \-\|\- ''
edits that command first.
The programs
.RI `` \-p ''
and
.RI `` \-\|\-p ''
are similar, except that they print the final command on their standard
output instead of running the shell.
.PP
The commands work by looking for a file
named by the environment variable
.Cr $history ,
and by searching for previous commands in this file.
Old commands can be edited,
or simply re-executed according to the rules below:
.PP
A command is searched for by examining the lines in
.Cr $history
in reverse order.
Lines which contain a previous invocation of the history
program itself are ignored.
If one or more
.I pattern
is supplied on the command line,
then the patterns are used as a means of
limiting the search.
Patterns match any substring of a previous command,
and if more than one pattern is present then all patterns must be
matched before a command is selected.
.PP
Substitutions may also be specified on the command line.
These have the syntax:
.Ds
.Ic old : new
.De
.PP
(Note that the
.I old
pattern is used as a search-limiting pattern also.)
Substitutions happen on the first match.
.PP
Finally, a command may be edited in a crude line-mode fashion:
The line to be edited is printed out, and below it the user
supplies modifications to the command:
.TP
.B any character
Replaces the character above.
.TP
.B space or tab
Skips over the above character(s).
.TP
.B #
Deletes one character.
.TP
.B %
Replaces one character with a space.
.TP
.B ^
Inserts the rest of the typed line just before the character.
.TP
.B $
Deletes the rest of the line from that character on, and replaces
it with the rest of the typed line.
.TP
.B +
Appends the rest of the typed line.
.TP
.B \-
Backs up to a previous command satisfying the same matching
constraints.
.TP
.B end of file
If an end-of-file is read from the keyboard by the editor,
it aborts with exit status 1 and does not produce any output.
.SH EXAMPLES
The history programs work best when their output is reinterpreted by
the shell using an
.Cr eval
command.
This can be achieved by writing a shell function to perform the
reinterpretation:
.Ds
.Cr "fn - -- {"
.Cr "	comm = \`{$0^p $*}"
.Cr "	if (! ~ $#comm 0) {"
.Cr "		echo $comm >[1=2]"
.Cr "		eval $comm"
.Cr "	}"
.Cr "}"
