How about eval-buffer?

,----[ C-h f eval-buffer RET ]
| eval-buffer is an interactive built-in function in `C source code'.
| (eval-buffer &optional BUFFER PRINTFLAG FILENAME UNIBYTE DO-ALLOW-PRINT)
| 
| Execute the current buffer as Lisp code.
| Programs can pass two arguments, BUFFER and PRINTFLAG.
| BUFFER is the buffer to evaluate (nil means use current buffer).
| PRINTFLAG controls printing of output:
| A value of nil means discard it; anything else is stream for print.
| 
| If the optional third argument FILENAME is non-nil,
| it specifies the file name to use for `load-history'.
| The optional fourth argument UNIBYTE specifies `load-convert-to-unibyte'
| for this invocation.
| 
| The optional fifth argument DO-ALLOW-PRINT, if non-nil, specifies that
| `print' and related functions should work normally even if PRINTFLAG is nil.
| 
| This function preserves the position of point.
