SIMULATION - Which Bash environment variable defines in which file the user history is stored when exiting a Bash process? (Specify ONLY the variable name.)
The HISTFILE environment variable defines the name of the file where Bash stores the command history. When a Bash session exits, the history of commands entered during that session is saved to the file specified by HISTFILE.
Here's a breakdown of how it works:
Setting HISTFILE: You can customize the location and name of your history file by setting the HISTFILE variable in your Bash configuration (e.g., .bashrc or .bash_profile). For example:
export HISTFILE=~/.bash_history
This would set the history file to the default location of .bash_history in your home directory.
Saving History: By default, Bash appends the command history to the HISTFILE when the session ends. You can also manually save the history at any time using the history -a command.
Loading History: When a new Bash session starts, it reads the command history from the file specified by HISTFILE. This allows you to easily access and reuse previously entered commands.
