R: Load or Save or Display the Commands History

savehistory {base} | R Documentation

## Load or Save or Display the Commands History

### Description

Load or save or display the commands history.

### Usage

    loadhistory(file = ".Rhistory")
    savehistory(file = ".Rhistory")
    history(max.show = 25, reverse = FALSE)

### Arguments

`file` | The name of the file in which to save the history, or from which to load it. The path is relative to the current working directory.
`max.show` | The maximum number of lines to show. `Inf` will give all of the currently available history.
`reverse` | logical. If true, the lines are shown in reverse order. Note: this is not useful when there are continuation lines.

### Details

This works under the `readline` and GNOME interfaces, but not if `readline` is not available.

### Note

If you want to save the history (almost) every session, you can put a call to `savehistory()` in `.Last`.
