Documentation

Determine if history should be automatically saved.

History is always preserved after sanely exiting an Eshell buffer. However, when Emacs is being shut down, this variable determines whether to prompt the user. If set to nil, it means never save history on termination of Emacs. If set to ask, ask if any Eshell buffers are open at exit time. If set to t, history will always be saved, silently.
