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 object 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 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.
