comint-replace-by-expanded-history

comint-replace-by-expanded-history is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `comint.el'.


(comint-replace-by-expanded-history &optional SILENT START)

Expand input command history references before point.
Expansion is dependent on the value of `comint-input-autoexpand'.

This function depends on the buffer's idea of the input history, which may not
match the command interpreter's idea, assuming it has one.

Assumes history syntax is like typical Un*x shells'. However, since Emacs
cannot know the interpreter's idea of input line numbers, assuming it has one,
it cannot expand absolute input line number references.

If the optional argument SILENT is non-nil, never complain
even if history reference seems erroneous.

If the optional argument START is non-nil, that specifies the
start of the text to scan for history references, rather
than the logical beginning of line.

See `comint-magic-space' and `comint-replace-by-expanded-history-before-point'.

Returns t if successful.
