Well, I hate to say it but it is time to read the manual, as that is
what I would have to do. It is part of bash. So something like man
bash should get you started. I know you can do ctrl-R to search what
you last typed starting at the present and going backwards. Guess I
will have a look also. It is a fun question. Maybe some Linux god an
the list can help more.
