An internal method used to parse and execute `REPLServer` keywords.
Returns `true` if `keyword` is a valid keyword, otherwise `false`.

### replServer.setupHistory(historyPath, callback)
Comment thread
lance marked this conversation as resolved.
Outdated
<!-- YAML
added: REPLACEME
-->

* `historyPath` {string} the path to the history file
* `callback` {Function} called when history writes are ready or upon error
* `err` {Error}
* `repl` {repl.REPLServer}

Initializes a history log file for the REPL instance. When executing the
Node.js binary and using the command line REPL, a history file is initialized
by default. However, this is not the case when creating a REPL
programmatically. Use this method to initialize a history log file when working
with REPL instances programmatically.
