-This chapter describes how to use the GNU History Library interactively,
-from a user's standpoint.

-@cindex expansion
-
-The History library provides a history expansion feature similar
-to the history expansion in @code{csh}. The following text describes the
-syntax you use to manipulate history information.
-
-History expansion takes two parts. In the first part, determine
-which line from the previous history will be used for substitution.
-This line is called the @dfn{event}.
-In the second part, select portions of that line for inclusion into the
-current line. These portions are called @dfn{words}.
-@value{GDBN} breaks the line into words in the same
-way that the Bash shell does, so that several English (or Unix) words
-surrounded by quotes are considered one word.
-
-@menu
-* Event Designators:: How to specify which history line to use.
-* Word Designators:: Specifying which words are of interest.
-* Modifiers:: Modifying the results of susbstitution.
-@end menu
-
-@node Event Designators
-@subsection Event Designators
-@cindex event designators
-
-An @dfn{event designator} is a reference to a command line entry in the
-history list.
-
-@table @asis
-
-@item @code{!}
-Start a history subsititution, except when followed by a space, tab, or
-the end of the line... @key{=} or @key{(}.
-
-@item @code{!!}
-Refer to the previous command. This is a synonym for @code{!-1}.
-
-@item @code{!n}
-Refer to command line @var{n}.
-
-@item @code{!-n}
-Refer to the command line @var{n} lines back.
-
-@item @code{!string}
-Refer to the most recent command starting with @var{string}.
-
-@item @code{!?string}[@code{?}]
-Refer to the most recent command containing @var{string}.
-
-@end table
-
-@node Word Designators
-@subsection Word Designators
-
-A @key{:} separates the event designator from the @dfn{word designator}.
-It can be omitted if the word designator begins with a @key{^}, @key{$},
-@key{*} or @key{%}. Words are numbered from the beginning of the line,
-with the first word being denoted by a 0 (zero).
-
-@table @code
-
-@item 0 (zero)
-The zero'th word. For many applications, this is the command word.
-
-@item n
-The @var{n}'th word.
-
-@item ^
-The first argument. that is, word 1.
-
-@item $
-The last argument.
-
-@item %
-The word matched by the most recent @code{?string?} search.
-
-@item x-y
-A range of words; @code{-@var{y}} Abbreviates @code{0-@var{y}}.
-
-@item *
-All of the words, excepting the zero'th. This is a synonym for @code{1-$}.
-It is not an error to use @key{*} if there is just one word in the event.
-The empty string is returned in that case.
-
-@end table
-
-@node Modifiers
-@subsection Modifiers
-
-After the optional word designator, you can add a sequence of one or more
-of the following @dfn{modifiers}, each preceded by a @key{:}.
-
-@table @code
-
-@item #
-The entire command line typed so far. This means the current command,
-not the previous command.
-@c
-@c FIXME: If it doesn't belong here, let's put it where it does.
-@c
-@c so it technically isn't a word designator and doesn't belong in
-@c this section.
-
-@item h
-Remove a trailing pathname component, leaving only the head.
-
-@item r
-Remove a trailing suffix of the form @samp{.}@var{suffix}, leaving the basename.
-
-@item e
-Remove all but the suffix.
-
-@item t
-Remove all leading pathname components, leaving the tail.
-
-@item p
-Print the new command but do not execute it.
