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.

       CONST 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  comple-tion completion
       tion  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_RecordAndEval.   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_RecordAndE-valObj. Tcl_RecordAndEvalObj.
       valObj.   That  object-based procedure records and optionally executes a command held in a Tcl object
       instead of a string.
