+.SH NAME
+Tcl_RecordAndEvalObj \- save command on history list before evaluating
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+\fB#include <tcl.h>\fR
+.sp
+int
+\fBTcl_RecordAndEvalObj\fR(\fIinterp, cmdPtr, flags\fR)
+.SH ARGUMENTS
+.AS Tcl_Interp *interp;
+.AP Tcl_Interp *interp in
+Tcl interpreter in which to evaluate command.
+.AP Tcl_Obj *cmdPtr in
+Points to a Tcl object containing a command (or sequence of commands)
+to execute.
+.AP int flags in

+command but don't evaluate it.  TCL_EVAL_GLOBAL means evaluate
+the command at global level instead of the current stack level.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+\fBTcl_RecordAndEvalObj\fR is invoked to record a command as an event
+on the history list and then execute it using \fBTcl_EvalObj\fR
+(or \fBTcl_GlobalEvalObj\fR if the TCL_EVAL_GLOBAL bit is set
+in \fIflags\fR).
+It returns a completion code such as TCL_OK just like \fBTcl_EvalObj\fR,
+as well as a result object containing additional information
+(a result value or error message)
+that can be retrieved using \fBTcl_GetObjResult\fR.
+If you don't want the command recorded on the history list then
+you should invoke \fBTcl_EvalObj\fR instead of \fBTcl_RecordAndEvalObj\fR.
+Normally \fBTcl_RecordAndEvalObj\fR 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 \fIflags\fR argument contains the TCL_NO_EVAL bit then
+the command is recorded without being evaluated.
