The following options are available: +- `--save` saves all changes in the history file. The shell automatically saves the history file; this option is provided for internal use. + +- `--clear` clears the history file. A prompt is displayed before the history is erased. + +- `--merge` immediately incorporates history changes from other sessions. Ordinarily `fish` ignores history changes from sessions started after the current one. This command applies those changes immediately.- `--search` returns history items in keeping with the `--prefix` or `--contains` options. + +- `--delete` deletes history items. + +- `--prefix` searches or deletes items in the history that begin with the specified text string. + +- `--contains` searches or deletes items in the history that contain the specified text string. + +If `--search` is specified without `--contains` or `--prefix`, `--contains` will be assumed. -- `--save` saves all changes in the history file.
