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. .BE .SH DESCRIPTION .PP \fBTcl_RecordAndEval\fR is invoked to record a command as an event on the history list and then execute it using \fBTcl_Eval\fR (or \fBTcl_GlobalEval\fR if the TCL_EVAL_GLOBAL bit is set in \fIflags\fR). It returns a completion code such as TCL_OK just like \fBTcl_Eval\fR and it leaves information in \fIinterp->result\fR. If you don't want the command recorded on the history list then you should invoke \fBTcl_Eval\fR instead of \fBTcl_RecordAndEval\fR. Normally \fBTcl_RecordAndEval\fR 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 \fIflags\fR argument contains the TCL_NO_EVAL bit then the command is recorded without being evaluated. .PP Note that \fBTcl_RecordAndEval\fR has been largely replaced by the object-based procedure \fBTcl_RecordAndEvalObj\fR. That object-based procedure records and optionally executes a command held in a Tcl object instead of a string. .SH "SEE ALSO" Tcl_RecordAndEvalObj .SH KEYWORDS command, event, execute, history, interpreter, record
