.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fBTcl_RecordAndEvalObj\fR is invoked to record a command as an event
|
|
on the history list and then execute it using \fBTcl_EvalObjEx\fR
|
|
(or \fBTcl_GlobalEvalObj\fR if the \fBTCL_EVAL_GLOBAL\fR bit is set
|
|
in \fIflags\fR).
|
|
It returns a completion code such as \fBTCL_OK\fR just like \fBTcl_EvalObjEx\fR,
|
|
as well as a result value containing additional information
|
|
(a result value or error message)
|
|
that can be retrieved using \fBTcl_GetObjResult\fR.
|
|
If you do not want the command recorded on the history list then
|
|
you should invoke \fBTcl_EvalObjEx\fR instead of \fBTcl_RecordAndEvalObj\fR.
|
|
Normally \fBTcl_RecordAndEvalObj\fR is only called with top-level
|
|
commands typed by the user, since the purpose of history is to
|
|
allow the user to re-issue recently invoked commands.
|
|
If the \fIflags\fR argument contains the \fBTCL_NO_EVAL\fR bit then
|
|
the command is recorded without being evaluated.
