Listing history commands using 'fc'

In Linux, the command 'fc' (stands for find command) can be used as an alternative to 'history'. 

This is a Bash built-in command using which we can list only the selected number of last executed commands.

For example, if you wish to list only last 20 commands, the syntax for 'fc' command should be "fc -l -20".

Below shown is a sample execution:

linuxhost # fc -l -20

1081     ls

1082     cd current/

1083     ls

1084     make

1085     make linux

1086     make target

1087     history | grep iozone

1088     iozone -a -i 0 -i 1 -i 2 -r 32k

1089     df -h

1090     ps -fu gpadmin | grep iozone

1091     man iozone

1092     exit

1093     df -h

1094     df -h

1095     cd /gplum/

1096     du -sh .

1097     top

1098     uname -r

1099     free -m

1100     getconf -a | grep -i pagesize

linuxhost #
