$PRODUCES history.c

$BUILTIN history
$FUNCTION history_builtin
$DEPENDS_ON HISTORY
$SHORT_DOC history [n] [ [-awrn] [filename]]
Display the history list with line numbers.  Lines listed with
with a `*' have been modified.  Argument of N says to list only
the last N lines.  Argument `-w' means to write out the current
history file;  `-r' means to read it instead.  Argument `-a' means
to append history lines from this session to the history file.
Argument `-n' means to read all history lines not already read
from the history file.  If FILENAME is given, then use that file,
else if $HISTFILE has a value, use that, else use ~/.bash_history.
