thanks for the tips about C-r Is there some sort of documentation on this? I'd
like to see how much history it keeps. It's a seperate program from history,
right?
HISTSIZE
The number of commands to remember in the command history (see
HISTORY below). The default value is 500.
[...]
To find other matching entries in the history list, type Control-S or
Control-R as appropriate. This will search backward or forward in the
history for the next entry matching the search string typed so far.
Any other key sequence bound to a readline command will terminate the
search and execute that command. For instance, a newline will termi-
nate the search and accept the line, thereby executing the command from
the history list.
OK thanks.
I assume that my .bash_history gets converted to binary at some point by
bash. I can see that bash is using .bash_history now, but it's not clear
why the file should become binary on my system.
