+CCOOPPYYRRIIGGHHTT
+ The GNU History Library is Copyright (C) 1989-2011 by the Free Software
+ Foundation, Inc.
+
+DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
+ Many programs read input from the user a line at a time. The GNU His-
+ tory library is able to keep track of those lines, associate arbitrary
+ data with each line, and utilize information from previous lines in
+ composing new ones.
+
+
+HHIISSTTOORRYY EEXXPPAANNSSIIOONN
+ The history library supports a history expansion feature that is iden-
+ tical to the history expansion in bbaasshh.. This section describes what
+ syntax features are available.
+
+ History expansions introduce words from the history list into the input
+ stream, making it easy to repeat commands, insert the arguments to a
+ previous command into the current input line, or fix errors in previous
+ commands quickly.
+
+ History expansion is usually performed immediately after a complete
+ line is read. It takes place in two parts. The first is to determine
+ which line from the history list to use during substitution. The sec-
+ ond is to select portions of that line for inclusion into the current
+ one. The line selected from the history is the _e_v_e_n_t, and the portions
+ of that line that are acted upon are _w_o_r_d_s. Various _m_o_d_i_f_i_e_r_s are
+ available to manipulate the selected words. The line is broken into
+ words in the same fashion as bbaasshh does when reading input, so that sev-
+ eral words that would otherwise be separated are considered one word
+ when surrounded by quotes (see the description of hhiissttoorryy__ttookkeenniizzee(())
+ below). History expansions are introduced by the appearance of the
+ history expansion character, which is !! by default. Only backslash (\\)
+ and single quotes can quote the history expansion character.
+
+ EEvveenntt DDeessiiggnnaattoorrss
+ An event designator is a reference to a command line entry in the his-
+ tory list. Unless the reference is absolute, events are relative to
+ the current position in the history list.
+
+ !! Start a history substitution, except when followed by a bbllaannkk,
+ newline, = or (.
+ !!_n Refer to command line _n.
+ !!--_n Refer to the current command minus _n.
+ !!!! Refer to the previous command. This is a synonym for `!-1'.
+ !!_s_t_r_i_n_g
+ Refer to the most recent command preceding the current position
+ in the history list starting with _s_t_r_i_n_g.
+ !!??_s_t_r_i_n_g[[??]]
+ Refer to the most recent command preceding the current postition
+ in the history list containing _s_t_r_i_n_g. The trailing ?? may be
+ omitted if _s_t_r_i_n_g is followed immediately by a newline.
+ ^^_s_t_r_i_n_g_1^^_s_t_r_i_n_g_2^^
+ Quick substitution. Repeat the last command, replacing _s_t_r_i_n_g_1
+ with _s_t_r_i_n_g_2. Equivalent to ``!!:s/_s_t_r_i_n_g_1/_s_t_r_i_n_g_2/'' (see MMoodd--
+ iiffiieerrss below).
+ !!## The entire command line typed so far.
+
+ WWoorrdd DDeessiiggnnaattoorrss
+ Word designators are used to select desired words from the event. A ::
+ separates the event specification from the word designator. It may be
+ omitted if the word designator begins with a ^^, $$, **, --, or %%. Words
+ are numbered from the beginning of the line, with the first word being
+ denoted by 0 (zero). Words are inserted into the current line sepa-
+ rated by single spaces.
+
+ 00 ((zzeerroo))
+ The zeroth word. For the shell, this is the command word.
+ _n The _nth word.
+ ^^ The first argument. That is, word 1.
+ $$ The last argument.
+ %% The word matched by the most recent `?_s_t_r_i_n_g?' search.
+ _x--_y A range of words; `-_y' abbreviates `0-_y'.
+ ** All of the words but the zeroth. This is a synonym for `_1_-_$'.
+ It is not an error to use ** if there is just one word in the
+ event; the empty string is returned in that case.
+ xx** Abbreviates _x_-_$.
+ xx-- Abbreviates _x_-_$ like xx**, but omits the last word.
+
+ If a word designator is supplied without an event specification, the
+ previous command is used as the event.
+
+ MMooddiiffiieerrss
+ After the optional word designator, there may appear a sequence of one
+ or more of the following modifiers, each preceded by a `:'.
+
+ hh Remove a trailing file name component, leaving only the head.
+ tt Remove all leading file name components, leaving the tail.
+ rr Remove a trailing suffix of the form _._x_x_x, leaving the basename.
+ ee Remove all but the trailing suffix.
+ pp Print the new command but do not execute it.
+ qq Quote the substituted words, escaping further substitutions.
+ xx Quote the substituted words as with qq, but break into words at
+ bbllaannkkss and newlines.
+ ss//_o_l_d//_n_e_w//
+ Substitute _n_e_w for the first occurrence of _o_l_d in the event
+ line. Any delimiter can be used in place of /. The final
+ delimiter is optional if it is the last character of the event
+ line. The delimiter may be quoted in _o_l_d and _n_e_w with a single
+ backslash. If & appears in _n_e_w, it is replaced by _o_l_d. A sin-
+ gle backslash will quote the &. If _o_l_d is null, it is set to
+ the last _o_l_d substituted, or, if no previous history substitu-
+ tions took place, the last _s_t_r_i_n_g in a !!??_s_t_r_i_n_g[[??]] search.
+ && Repeat the previous substitution.
+ gg Cause changes to be applied over the entire event line. This is
+ used in conjunction with `::ss' (e.g., `::ggss//_o_l_d//_n_e_w//') or `::&&'.
+ If used with `::ss', any delimiter can be used in place of /, and
+ the final delimiter is optional if it is the last character of
+ the event line. An aa may be used as a synonym for gg.
+ GG Apply the following `ss' modifier once to each word in the event
+ line.

+ This section describes how to use the History library in other pro-
+ grams.
+
+ IInnttrroodduuccttiioonn ttoo HHiissttoorryy
+ The programmer using the History library has available functions for
+ remembering lines on a history list, associating arbitrary data with a
+ line, removing lines from the list, searching through the list for a
+ line containing an arbitrary text string, and referencing any line in
+ the list directly. In addition, a history _e_x_p_a_n_s_i_o_n function is avail-
+ able which provides for a consistent user interface across different
+ programs.
+
+ The user using programs written with the History library has the bene-
+ fit of a consistent user interface with a set of well-known commands
+ for manipulating the text of previous lines and using that text in new
+ commands. The basic history manipulation commands are identical to the
+ history substitution provided by bbaasshh.
+
+ If the programmer desires, he can use the Readline library, which
+ includes some history manipulation by default, and has the added advan-
+ tage of command line editing.
+
+ Before declaring any functions using any functionality the History
+ library provides in other code, an application writer should include
+ the file _<_r_e_a_d_l_i_n_e_/_h_i_s_t_o_r_y_._h_> in any file that uses the History
+ library's features. It supplies extern declarations for all of the
+ library's public functions and variables, and declares all of the pub-
+ lic data structures.
+
+
+ HHiissttoorryy SSttoorraaggee
+ The history list is an array of history entries. A history entry is
+ declared as follows:
+
+ _t_y_p_e_d_e_f _v_o_i_d _* hhiissttddaattaa__tt;;
+
+ typedef struct _hist_entry {
+ char *line;
+ char *timestamp;
+ histdata_t data;
+ } HIST_ENTRY;
+
+ The history list itself might therefore be declared as
+
+ _H_I_S_T___E_N_T_R_Y _*_* tthhee__hhiissttoorryy__lliisstt;;
+
+ The state of the History library is encapsulated into a single struc-
+ ture:
+
+ /*
+ * A structure used to pass around the current state of the history.
+ */
+ typedef struct _hist_state {
+ HIST_ENTRY **entries; /* Pointer to the entries themselves. */
+ int offset; /* The location pointer within this array. */
+ int length; /* Number of elements within this array. */
+ int size; /* Number of slots allocated to this array. */
+ int flags;
+ } HISTORY_STATE;
+
+ If the flags member includes HHSS__SSTTIIFFLLEEDD, the history has been stifled.

+ The character that invokes word substitution if found at the start of a
+ line. The default is ^^.
+
+ _c_h_a_r hhiissttoorryy__ccoommmmeenntt__cchhaarr
+ During tokenization, if this character is seen as the first character
+ of a word, then it and all subsequent characters up to a newline are
+ ignored, suppressing history expansion for the remainder of the line.
+ This is disabled by default.
+
+ _c_h_a_r _* hhiissttoorryy__wwoorrdd__ddeelliimmiitteerrss
+ The characters that separate tokens for hhiissttoorryy__ttookkeenniizzee(()). The
+ default value is "" \\tt\\nn(())<<>>;;&&||"".
+
+ _c_h_a_r _* hhiissttoorryy__nnoo__eexxppaanndd__cchhaarrss
+ The list of characters which inhibit history expansion if found immedi-
+ ately following hhiissttoorryy__eexxppaannssiioonn__cchhaarr. The default is space, tab,
+ newline, \\rr, and ==.
+
+ _c_h_a_r _* hhiissttoorryy__sseeaarrcchh__ddeelliimmiitteerr__cchhaarrss
+ The list of additional characters which can delimit a history search
+ string, in addition to space, tab, _: and _? in the case of a substring
+ search. The default is empty.
+
+ _i_n_t hhiissttoorryy__qquuootteess__iinnhhiibbiitt__eexxppaannssiioonn
+ If non-zero, single-quoted words are not scanned for the history expan-
+ sion character. The default value is 0.
+
+ _r_l___l_i_n_e_b_u_f___f_u_n_c___t _* hhiissttoorryy__iinnhhiibbiitt__eexxppaannssiioonn__ffuunnccttiioonn
+ This should be set to the address of a function that takes two argu-
+ ments: a cchhaarr ** (_s_t_r_i_n_g) and an iinntt index into that string (_i). It
+ should return a non-zero value if the history expansion starting at
+ _s_t_r_i_n_g_[_i_] should not be performed; zero if the expansion should be
+ done. It is intended for use by applications like bbaasshh that use the
+ history expansion character for additional purposes. By default, this
+ variable is set to NNUULLLL.
