Function: comint-replace-by-expanded-history

comint-replace-by-expanded-history is an interactive and byte-compiled function defined in comint.el.gz.

Signature

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

Documentation

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.
