  fc

  NAME

    fc - list or edit and re-execute previously entered commands

  SYNOPSIS

    fc [-e editor | -l [-n]] [-r] [first [last]]
    fc [-e - | -s] [-g] [old=new] [prefix]

  DESCRIPTION

    This command is a Korn-shell built-in command.

    For the first form, first and last select commands from the history.
    Commands can be selected by history number, or a string specifying the
    most recent command starting with that string. The -l option lists the
    command on stdout, and -n inhibits the default command numbers. The -
    r option reverses the order of the list. Without -l, the selected commands
    are edited by the editor specified with the -e option, or if no -e is
    specified, the editor specified by the FCEDIT parameter (if this parameter
    is not set, /bin/ed is used), and then executed by the shell.

    The second form re-executes the selected command (the previous command by
    default) after performing the optional substitution of old with new. If -
    g is specified, all occurrences of old are replaced with new. This command
    is usually accessed with the predefined alias r='fc -e -'.
