◆ mutt_hist_at_scratch()

bool mutt_hist_at_scratch ( enum HistoryClass hclass)

Is the current History position at the 'scratch' place?

Parameters
hclassHistory to use
Return values
trueHistory is at 'scratch' place

The last entry in the history is used as a 'scratch' area. It can be overwritten as the user types and edits.

To get (back) to the scratch area, call mutt_hist_next(), mutt_hist_prev() or mutt_hist_reset_state().
