to evaluate command.
char *cmd (in) Command (or sequence of
commands) to execute.

DESCRIPTION
Tcl_RecordAndEval is invoked to record a command as an
event on the history list and then execute it using
Tcl_Eval (or Tcl_GlobalEval if the TCL_EVAL_GLOBAL bit is
set in flags). It returns a completion code such as
TCL_OK just like Tcl_Eval and it leaves information in the
interpreter's result. If you don't want the command
recorded on the history list then you should invoke
Tcl_Eval instead of Tcl_RecordAndEval. Normally
Tcl_RecordAndEval 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.
Note that Tcl_RecordAndEval has been largely replaced by
the object-based procedure Tcl_RecordAndEvalObj. That
object-based procedure records and optionally executes a
command held in a Tcl object instead of a string.
