NAME
       Tcl_RecordAndEval - save command on history list before evaluating

SYNOPSIS
       #include <tcl.h>

       int
       Tcl_RecordAndEval(interp, cmd, flags)

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

       char         *cmd       (in)      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      don't      evaluate      it.
                                         TCL_EVAL_GLOBAL  means  evaluate  the
                                         command  at  global  level instead of
                                         the current stack level.

DESCRIPTION
       Tcl_RecordAndEval is invoked to record a command as  an  event  on  the
       history  list  and then execute it using Tcl_Eval (or Tcl_GlobalEval if
       the TCL_EVAL_GLOBAL bit is set in flags).  It returns a completion code
       such  as  TCL_OK  just  like  Tcl_Eval and it leaves information in the
       interpreter's result.  If you don't want the command  recorded  on  the
       history list then you should invoke Tcl_Eval instead of Tcl_RecordAndE-
       val.  Normally Tcl_RecordAndEval 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.

       Note  that  Tcl_RecordAndEval  has been largely replaced by the object-
       based  procedure  Tcl_RecordAndEvalObj.   That  object-based  procedure
       records  and optionally executes a command held in a Tcl object instead
       of a string.
