Description

Use this command to view the shell history. The shell history mechanism is similar to the UNIX Korn shell

history facility. It has a built-in line editor similar to UNIX vi that enables previously typed commands to be

edited. The h command displays the 20 most recent commands typed into the shell; the oldest commands

are replaced as new ones are entered.

To edit a command, press ESC to access edit mode and then use vi commands. The ESC key switches the

shell to edit mode. The ENTER key gives the line to the shell from either editing or input mode.

Basic vi commands are as follows:

k Move the cursor up

j Move the cursor down

h Move the cursor left

l Move the cursor right

a Append

i Insert

x Delete

u Undo

Operands

none
