Display shell history.
Synopsis h
Availability All users
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 allows previously
typed commands to be edited. The command h displays the 20 most recent commands typed into
the shell; old commands fall off the top as new ones are entered.
To edit a command, press ESC to access edit mode, then use vi commands. The ESC key switches
the shell to edit mode. The RETURN key gives the line to the shell from either editing or input
mode.
Basic vi commands:
k get the previous shell command
j get the next command
h move the cursor left
l move the cursor right
