### Persistent History

By default, the REPL will persist history between `iojs` REPL sessions by saving
to a `.node_repl_history` file in the user's home directory. This can be
disabled by setting the environment variable `NODE_REPL_HISTORY=""`.

Previously in io.js v2.x, REPL history was controlled by using a
`NODE_REPL_HISTORY_FILE` environment variable, and the history was saved in JSON
format. This variable has now been deprecated, and your REPL history will
automatically be converted to using plain text. The new file will be saved to
either your home directory, or a directory defined by the `NODE_REPL_HISTORY`
variable, as documented below.

### Environment Variable Options

The built-in repl (invoked by running `iojs` or `iojs -i`) may be controlled
via the following environment variables:

- `NODE_REPL_HISTORY_FILE` - if given, must be a path to a user-writable,
user-readable file. When a valid path is given, persistent history support
is enabled: REPL history will persist across `iojs` repl sessions.
- `NODE_REPL_HISTORY_SIZE` - defaults to `1000`. In conjunction with
`NODE_REPL_HISTORY_FILE`, controls how many lines of history will be
persisted. Must be a positive number.
- `NODE_REPL_HISTORY` - When a valid path is given, persistent REPL history
will be saved to the specified file rather than `.node_repl_history` in the
user's home directory. Setting this value to `""` will disable persistent
REPL history.
- `NODE_REPL_HISTORY_SIZE` - defaults to `1000`. Controls how many lines of
history will be persisted if history is available. Must be a positive number.
- `NODE_REPL_MODE` - may be any of `sloppy`, `strict`, or `magic`. Defaults
to `magic`, which will automatically run "strict mode only" statements in
strict mode.
