One, design-wise ugly, idea:
Couldn't you abuse the history comment char another time for that?
Like consider anything between a ^#[[:digit:]] to be part of one
command:
With HISTTIMEFORMAT set that could look like:
#1427416260
echo foo
#1427416363
if true; then
echo bar
fi
#1427416625
./and_so_on
If HISTTIMEFORMAT is not set, you could simply write 0
#0
echo foo
#0
if true; then
echo bar
fi
#0
./and_so_on
AFAICS, this wouldn't break compatibility
- anything that matches ^#[[:digit:]] is already now not stored in the
history files, AFAICS
- of course one would probably need to clear the history when one
enables the shopt for using the above schema (or otherwise one could
see extremely big multiline commands)
Or one may just start with that way of parsing the file, the first
time a ^#[[:digit:]] is encountered, and anything before is considered
to be single commands per line.
Cheers,
Chris.
