NAME

       Tcl_RecordAndEvalObj - save command on history list before evaluating

SYNOPSIS

       #include <tcl.h>

       int
       Tcl_RecordAndEvalObj(interp, cmdPtr, flags)

ARGUMENTS

       Tcl_Interp *interp (in)          Tcl interpreter in which to evaluate command.

       Tcl_Obj *cmdPtr (in)             Points  to a Tcl value containing a command (or sequence of commands) to
                                        execute.

       int flags (in)                   An OR'ed combination of flag bits.  TCL_NO_EVAL means record the command
                                        but do not evaluate it.  TCL_EVAL_GLOBAL means evaluate the  command  at
                                        global level instead of the current stack level.

DESCRIPTION

       Tcl_RecordAndEvalObj  is  invoked to record a command as an event on the history list and then execute it
       using Tcl_EvalObjEx (or Tcl_GlobalEvalObj if the TCL_EVAL_GLOBAL bit is set  in  flags).   It  returns  a
       completion  code  such as TCL_OK just like Tcl_EvalObjEx, as well as a result value containing additional
       information (a result value or error message) that can be retrieved using Tcl_GetObjResult.   If  you  do
       not  want  the  command  recorded  on  the  history  list then you should invoke Tcl_EvalObjEx instead of
       Tcl_RecordAndEvalObj.  Normally Tcl_RecordAndEvalObj 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
       flags argument contains the TCL_NO_EVAL bit then the command is recorded without being evaluated.
