history command

Synopsis

history

Description

The history command shows a list of previously entered commands on the command line. When U-Boot starts, this it is initially empty. Each new command entered is added to the list.

Normally these commands can be accessed by pressing the up arrow and down arrow keys, which cycle through the list. The history command provides a simple way to view the list.

Example

This example shows entering three commands, then history. Note that history itself is added to the list.
