history

history [options ]

Display the list of history events. (History syntax is discussed earlier in the section "Command History.")

Note: multiline compound commands such as foreach ... end are not saved in the history list.

Options

-h

Print history list without event numbers.

-r

Print in reverse order; show oldest commands last.

n

Display only the last n history commands, instead of the number set by the history shell variable.

Example

To save and execute the last five commands:

history -h 5 > do_it
source do_it
