+ .SS Tilde Substitution
+ An unquoted tilde character
+ .RB ( ~ )
+ will cause the shell to attempt a tilde substituion.  Tilde substitutions
+ are used to automatically determine home directories.  Both the current
+ user's home directory, and the home directory of any other user on
+ the system may be found.
+ .PP
+ A
+ .B ~
+ by itself is equivalent to using
+ .BR \s-1$HOME\s+1 .
+ E.g.
+ .B ~/bin
+ is the same as saying
+ .BR \s-1$HOME\s+1/bin .
+ The notation
+ .B ~person
+ will cause the shell to look up
+ .BR person 's
+ home directory in the
+ .B /etc/passwd
+ file, and substitute it in.  For example, if user
+ .BR arnold 's
+ home directory is
+ .BR /user/arnold ,
+ the shell would replace
+ .BR ~arnold/bin
+ with
+ .BR /user/arnold/bin .
+ .PP
+ Tilde substitutions are recognized at the beginning of words, after
+ equal signs (for shell variable assignment), in the middle of single letter
+ flag arguments to commands (e.g. \fBecho \-t~arnold\fP), and after
+ colons inside the
+ .B
+ .SM PATH
+ and
+ .B
+ .SM CDPATH
+ shell parameters.
+ .PP
+ If
+ .B /etc/passwd
+ cannot be read, or if
+ no user can be found to match the attempted tilde substitution,
+ the text is left unmodified.
+ .SS History Substitution
+ When reading input from an interactive terminal, a
+ .RB `` ! ''
+ character, anywhere on the line,
+ signals the shell that it should attempt
+ to perform a history substitution.
+ A history substitution is a shorthand method which allows the user
+ to recall all or part of a previous command, possibly editing the
+ recalled portion.
+ The recalled (and possibly changed) command line is then placed into
+ the current command line,
+ to be passed on to the rest of the shell for normal processing.
+ A history substitution takes the form:
+ .PP
+ .if t .RS
+ \fB!\fP\^[ \fIstr\fP | \fB?\fIstr\fB?\fR | \fInum\fP ]\c
+ [ \fB\(ga\fInum\fR [ \- [ \fInum\fP ] ]\c
+ { \fB^\fIstr\fB^\fIstr\fB^\fR [\fBg\fP] }
+ .if t .RE
+ .PP
+ A history substitution contains three parts;
+ command selection, argument selection, and editing.
+ .I Command selection
+ chooses what command will be retrieved from the stored
+ history.
+ .I Argument selection
+ chooses which arguments from that command will be extracted.
+ .I Editing
+ allows the user to change spelling or make a substitution.
+ .PP
+ The history substitution is triggered by the
+ .RB `` ! '',
+ and continues until another
+ .RB `` ! ''
+ is encountered, or until
+ something that could not be part of a history substitution is seen.
+ This is so that the
+ history substitution will be properly concatenated with the following text.
+ Whenever a history substitution is encountered and properly performed,
+ the shell echoes the resulting line to the terminal and then executes the
+ command.
+ .PP
+ History substitution occurs inside double quotes and grave accents, but will
+ not occur inside single quotes.  To get a literal
+ .RB `` ! ''
+ character, outside of single quotes, precede it with a
+ .BR \e .
+ The
+ .BR ? ,
+ .BR \(ga ,
+ and
+ .B ^
+ characters are treated specially by the history mechanism only when preceded
+ by a
+ .RB `` ! '',
+ otherwise they have their normal meaning
+ of ``match a single character'',
+ ``enclose a command substitution'',
+ and as a synonym for the \fB\(bv\fP
+ character.
+ .PP
+ The full meaning of the history syntax is as follows:
+ .RS
+ .TP
+ \fB!\fP\^[ \fIstr\fP | \fB?\fIstr\fB?\fR | \fInum\fP ]
+ The first thing in a history substitution is
+ .IR "command selection" .
+ This is used to retrieve a given command line for use, or for further
+ processing.  In a history command selection, \fB!\fIstr\fR
+ will find the most recent command line that started with the
+ characters in
+ .IR str .
+ \fB!?\fIstr\fB?\fR will find the most recent command line that contained
+ .I str
+ anywhere on the line.  It also allows
+ .I str
+ to contain blanks and tabs, whereas the first form does not.
+ \fB!\fInum\fR allows the user to specify the number of a command, according
+ to the output of the
+ .B history
+ command (see the section on special commands, below).
+ .TP
+ \fB\(ga\fInum\fR [ \- [ \fInum\fP ]
+ The next portion of a history substitution is an optional
+ .IR "argument selection" .
+ This chooses which portions of the command are to be kept.
+ History arguments are not exactly the same as the arguments the rest of
+ the shell uses, since history expansion occurs before argument collection.
+ Arguments in this context are blank or tab separated words on the command line.
+ Single or double quoted strings, strings inside grave accents, shell regular
+ expressions, commands in parentheses (which get executed in a subshell),
+ and commands enclosed in braces,
+ are all treated as single arguments for the history mechanism, even though
+ they may have white space in them.
+ .sp
+ Arguments are numbered from zero, starting at the leftmost portion of the
+ line.  In an argument selection, \fB\(ga\fInum\fR specifies that only argument
+ .I num
+ is to be extracted and kept for further processing or use, and the rest
+ of the command line is to be dropped.
+ \fB\(ga\fInum\fB\-\fInum\fR
+ specifies that the arguments from the first
+ .I num
+ to the last
+ .I num
+ are to be kept. In place of any
+ .IR num ,
+ .B $
+ may be specified to obtain the last argument on the line.
+ The form \fB\(ga\-\fInum\fR is a shorthand for \fB\(ga\fP1\fB\-\fInum\fR
+ and
+ \fB\(ga\fInum\fB\-\fR
+ is a short form for
+ \fB\(ga\fInum\fB\-$\fR.
+ Finally, the notation
+ \fB\(ga\-\fP
+ indicates all the arguments.  That is, \fB\(ga\-\fP implies
+ \fB\(ga1\-$\fP.
+ .TP
+ \fB^\fIstr\fB^\fIstr\fB^\fR [\fBg\fP]
+ The last portion of a history substitution is also optional, and is the
+ .I editing
+ phase.  This allows the remaining portions of the retrieved
+ command line to modified, like the substitute command in
+ .IR ed (1),
+ although in a much more limited fashion.
+ In the history mechanism,
+ .I str
+ is not a regular expression, as in
+ .IR ed,
+ but just a simple string.
+ The history mechanism does not recognize
+ either the shell's pattern matching characters or the editor's
+ regular expression characters.
+ Each substitution happens only once on a line, unless a trailing ``g''
+ is appended to the substitution.  In this case, the substitution occurs
+ globally (everywhere) on the line.
+ Substitutions may be strung together,
+ so that more than one can be done at once.
+ The trailing ``g'' may be in either upper or lower case.
+ .RE
+ .PP
+ Some examples of history substitution are given below.
+ Should a history substitution fail, the errant command will
+ .I not
+ be added to the history buffers.
+ .PP
+ The history mechanism recognizes lines that end with unbalanced quotes.
+ When the quotes are balanced on the next line(s),
+ It will join this line with the one that opened the quotes, keeping the
+ embedded newline(s). So, e.g.,
+ .RS
+ .sp
+ .nf
+ .RB "$ " "echo 'open"
+ .RB "> " "close'"
+ .fi
+ .RE
+ .sp
+ will be saved as one history ``event.''
+ This does
+ .I not
+ extend to other shell constructs, like balancing parentheses across
+ newlines.
+ .PP
+ The history mechanism keeps a maximum of
+ 256
+ stored commands at any one time, and the total text of the
+ stored history may occupy no more than
+ 4096
+ characters.
+ Experience indicates that it is not necessary to store more than this,
+ and the extra history buffers should not make the shell too large for
+ machines with small address spaces (e.g. PDP-11's).

+ .SS Saving and Restoring History
+ When an interactive shell starts up, if the
+ .B \-H
+ flag is not in effect, it will attempt to read the contents of
+ .B \s-1$HISTFILE\s+1
+ into its history buffers.  This allows the user to recall commands
+ executed during a previous login session.
+ When the shell exits or executes an
+ .B exec
+ (again, if
+ .B \-H
+ is not in effect), it will attempt to write its current history
+ buffers into
+ .BR \s-1$HISTFILE\s+1 ,
+ for use in a future login session.
+ .PP
+ The
+ .B history
+ command allows the user to save the current history buffers into
+ a file of his or her own choosing, or to restore them from a given file.
+ If
+ .B \-H
+ has been set, the
+ .B history
+ command will give a warning that history processing is not
+ available, and will
+ .I not
+ save or restore the shell's history buffers.

+ .SH PYRAMID SPECIFIC
+ .PP
+ On computers manufactured by the Pyramid Corporation, which support
+ both the University of California at Berkeley 4.2BSD version of \s-1UNIX\s+1,
+ and the AT&T System V version of \s-1UNIX\s+1,
+ the shell has several additional capabilities.
+ .SS Special Commands
+ .PP
+ There are three additional commands built in to the shell. They are:
+ .RS
+ .TP
+ \fBatt\fP \*(OK command \*(CK
+ Switch the current ``universe'' to be ATT System V.
+ If a command is specified, that command will be run in the ``att''
+ universe, without affecting the shell's current universe.
+ The
+ .B \-t
+ option of
+ .B /bin/att
+ is not (yet) supported.
+ .TP
+ \fBucb\fP \*(OK command \*(CK
+ Switch the current ``universe'' to be University of California at
+ Berkeley 4.2BSD.
+ If a command is specified, that command will be run in the ``ucb''
+ universe, without affecting the shell's current universe.
+ The
+ .B \-t
+ option of
+ .B /bin/ucb
+ is not (yet) supported.
+ .TP
+ \fBuniverse\fP \*(OK \fB\-l\fP \*(CK
+ Print the current universe, either ``att'' or ``ucb''. The
+ .B \-l
+ option will print a longer, more explanative name for the current universe.
+ .RE
+ .PP
+ If the shell cannot determine the current universe when it starts up,
+ it will default to
+ .BR ucb .
+ .SS Shell Variables
+ .PP
+ There is an additional pre-defined shell parameter,
+ .BR \s-1UNIVERSE\s+1 .
+ The value of
+ .B \s-1UNIVERSE\s+1
+ .I always
+ tracks that of the current universe.  Using it is equivalent to a
+ \*`universe\` command substitution,
+ except that a new process will not be created.
+ This variable cannot be set by the user (it is \fBreadonly\fP),
+ and any inherited value from the environment will be ignored.
+ .SS Special Sequences for \s-1PS1\s+1
+ .PP
+ Finally, the sequence
+ .B %u
+ in the value of
+ .B \s-1PS1\s-1
+ will cause the shell to subsitute in the name of the current universe,
+ either ``att'' or ``ucb''.
+ .SH HISTORY EXAMPLES
+ Command history provides a powerful method for easily redoing previous
+ commands, or for quicly fixing typing mistakes.
+ Here are some annotated examples.  User input is in
+ .BR boldface .
+ .sp
+ .nf
+ # first, list some files
+ .RB "$ " lf
+ hello.c        echo.c
+ # now, make a typing mistake
+ .RB "$ " "cat hello"
+ hello: No such file or directory
+ # fix it.  The trailing ! ends the history substitution,
+ # in order to correctly concatenate it with the following .c
+ .RB "$ " "!!.c"
+ cat hello.c
+ main () { printf ("hello world\en"); }
+ # now look at echo.c instead
+ .RB "$ " "!^hello^echo"
+ cat echo.c
+ main () { printf ("echo: no arguments\en"); }
+ # do it again, just for fun
+ .RB "$ " "!"
+ cat echo.c
+ main () { printf ("echo: no arguments\en"); }
+ # now we'll rearrange some arguments
+ .RB "$ " "echo 1 2 3 4 5"
+ 1 2 3 4 5
+ # print last argument, first and second arguments, then change 4 to four
+ .RB "$ " "echo !\(ga$ !\(ga1-2 !\(ga4^4^four"
+ echo 5 1 2 four
+ 5 1 2 four
+ # do something with all the previous arguments at once
+ .RB "$ " "echo the previous arguments were !\(ga\-"
+ echo the previous arguments were 5 1 2 four
+ the previous arguments were 5 1 2 four
+ # now do some substitutions.  first get something to work with.
+ .RB "$ " "echo aa bb cc"
+ aa bb cc
+ # change the first 'a' to a 'b', and change all c's to d's
+ .RB "$ " "!^a^b^^c^d^g"
+ echo ba bb dd
+ ba bb dd
+ .fi
+ .PP
+ These few brief examples should provide a general feel for the
+ history mechanism.  The quickest way to learn it is to experiment
+ with it for a while, using the
+ .B echo
+ command, which can do very little damage.
+ While it looks cryptic when being typed, it is very general and
+ orthogonal, and quickly becomes natural.
