ARGUMENTS

to evaluate command.
Tcl_Obj *cmdPtr (in) Points to a Tcl object
containing a command (or
sequence of commands) to
execute.

DESCRIPTION
Tcl_RecordAndEvalObj is invoked to record a command as an
event on the history list and then execute it using
Tcl_EvalObj (or Tcl_GlobalEvalObj if the TCL_EVAL_GLOBAL bit
is set in flags). It returns a completion code such as
TCL_OK just like Tcl_EvalObj, as well as a result object
containing additional information (a result value or error
message) that can be retrieved using Tcl_GetObjResult. If
you don't want the command recorded on the history list then
you should invoke Tcl_EvalObj instead of
Tcl_RecordAndEvalObj. Normally Tcl_RecordAndEvalObj 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.
