|
.AS Tcl_Interp *interp
|
|
.AP Tcl_Interp *interp in
|
|
Tcl interpreter in which to evaluate command.
|
|
.AP "const char" *cmd in
|
|
Command (or sequence of commands) to execute.
|
|
.AP int flags in
|
|
An OR'ed combination of flag bits. \fBTCL_NO_EVAL\fR means record the
|
|
command but do not evaluate it. \fBTCL_EVAL_GLOBAL\fR means evaluate
|
|
the command at global level instead of the current stack level.

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fBTcl_RecordAndEval\fR is invoked to record a command as an event
|
|
on the history list and then execute it using \fBTcl_Eval\fR
|
|
(or \fBTcl_GlobalEval\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_Eval\fR
|
|
and it leaves information in the interpreter's result.
|
|
If you do not want the command recorded on the history list then
|
|
you should invoke \fBTcl_Eval\fR instead of \fBTcl_RecordAndEval\fR.
|
|
Normally \fBTcl_RecordAndEval\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.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Note that \fBTcl_RecordAndEval\fR has been largely replaced by the
|
|
value-based procedure \fBTcl_RecordAndEvalObj\fR.
|
|
That value-based procedure records and optionally executes
|
|
a command held in a Tcl value instead of a string.
