.so man.macros S Tcl_RecordAndEvalObj - save command on history list before evaluating

#include <tcl.h>
int
Tcl_RecordAndEvalObj(interp, cmdPtr, flags)
 ARGUMENTS
.AS Tcl_Interp *interp
.AP Tcl_Interp *interp in
Tcl interpreter in which to evaluate command.
.AP Tcl_Obj *cmdPtr in
Points to a Tcl object containing a command (or sequence of commands)
to execute.
.AP 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 object 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.
