] [command
]
Korn shell only. Display or edit commands in the history list. (Use only one of
-l
or
-e
.)
fc
provides capabilities similar to the C shell's
history
and
!
syntax.
first
and
last
are numbers or strings specifying the range of commands to display or edit. If
last
is omitted,
fc
applies to a single command (specified by
first
). If both
first
and
last
are omitted,
fc
edits the previous command or lists the last 16. The second form of
fc
takes a history
command
, replaces
old
string with
new
string, and executes the modified command. If no strings are specified,
command
is just re-executed. If no
command
is given either, the previous command is re-executed.
command
is a number or string like
first
. See examples under "Command History."
editor
]
Invoke
editor
to edit the specified history commands. The default
editor
is set by shell variable FCEDIT.
Execute (or redo) a history command; refer to second syntax line above.
List the specified command or range of commands, or list the last 16.
Suppress command numbering from the -l listing.
Reverse the order of the -l listing.
