# disable

disable -- stops data recording.

## Syntax

    (disable [pattern])

## Parameters

`pattern`

  The name of one or more (using a globbing pattern) histories previously defined by the history command. When this parameter is not specified, the default is `*`, to include all histories.

## Returns

`t` (true) if successful, otherwise

        (error "No history matching pattern")

## Description

This command flushes one or more histories to disk and causes each of them to ignore all subsequent values until either enable, `hist_enable`, or `HI_Enable` is called on it.

This command corresponds to the Cogent API function `HI_Disable` and the `hist_disable` dynamic library function.

## Example

        [sh]$ lsend Hist
        Hist> (disable p5)
        t
        Hist>
