- \c --save saves all changes in the history file. The shell automatically
|
|
|
|
|
saves the history file; this option is provided for internal use.
|
|
|
|
|
- \c --clear clears the history file. A prompt is displayed before the history
|
|
|
|
|
is erased.

- \c --merge immediately incorporates history changes from other sessions. Ordinarily
|
|
|
|
|
fish ignores history changes from sessions started after the current one. This command
|
|
|
|
|
applies those changes immediately.
