ARGUMENTS
       Tcl_Interp   *interp    (in)	 Tcl  interpreter in which to evaluate
					 command.

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

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_GlobalEval‐
       Obj  if the TCL_EVAL_GLOBAL bit is set in flags).  It returns a comple‐
       tion code such as TCL_OK just like Tcl_EvalObj, as  well	 as  a	result
       object  containing additional information (a result value or error mes‐
       sage) 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_RecordAndE‐
       valObj  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.
