-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.PP
-Dynamic strings provide a mechanism for building up arbitrarily long
-strings by gradually appending information.  If the dynamic string is
-short then there will be no memory allocation overhead;  as the string
-gets larger, additional space will be allocated as needed.
-.PP
-\fBTcl_DStringInit\fR initializes a dynamic string to zero length.
-The Tcl_DString structure must have been allocated by the caller.
-No assumptions are made about the current state of the structure;
-anything already in it is discarded.
-If the structure has been used previously, \fBTcl_DStringFree\fR should
-be called first to free up any memory allocated for the old
-string.
-.PP
-\fBTcl_DStringAppend\fR adds new information to a dynamic string,
-allocating more memory for the string if needed.
-If \fIlength\fR is less than zero then everything in \fIbytes\fR
-is appended to the dynamic string;  otherwise \fIlength\fR
-specifies the number of bytes to append.
-\fBTcl_DStringAppend\fR returns a pointer to the characters of
-the new string.  The string can also be retrieved from the
-\fIstring\fR field of the Tcl_DString structure.
-.PP
-\fBTcl_DStringAppendElement\fR is similar to \fBTcl_DStringAppend\fR
-except that it does not take a \fIlength\fR argument (it appends
-all of \fIelement\fR) and it converts the string to a proper list element
-before appending.
-\fBTcl_DStringAppendElement\fR adds a separator space before the
-new list element unless the new list element is the first in a
-list or sub-list (i.e. either the current string is empty, or it
-contains the single character
-.QW { ,
-or the last two characters of the current string are
-.QW " {" ).
-\fBTcl_DStringAppendElement\fR returns a pointer to the
-characters of the new string.
-.PP
-\fBTcl_DStringStartSublist\fR and \fBTcl_DStringEndSublist\fR can be
-used to create nested lists.
-To append a list element that is itself a sublist, first
-call \fBTcl_DStringStartSublist\fR, then call \fBTcl_DStringAppendElement\fR
-for each of the elements in the sublist, then call
-\fBTcl_DStringEndSublist\fR to end the sublist.
-\fBTcl_DStringStartSublist\fR appends a space character if needed,
-followed by an open brace;  \fBTcl_DStringEndSublist\fR appends
-a close brace.
-Lists can be nested to any depth.
-.PP
-\fBTcl_DStringLength\fR is a macro that returns the current length
-of a dynamic string (not including the terminating null character).
-\fBTcl_DStringValue\fR is a  macro that returns a pointer to the
-current contents of a dynamic string.
-.PP
-.PP
-\fBTcl_DStringSetLength\fR changes the length of a dynamic string.
-If \fInewLength\fR is less than the string's current length, then
-the string is truncated.
-If \fInewLength\fR is greater than the string's current length,
-then the string will become longer and new space will be allocated
-for the string if needed.
-However, \fBTcl_DStringSetLength\fR will not initialize the new
-space except to provide a terminating null character;  it is up to the
-caller to fill in the new space.
-\fBTcl_DStringSetLength\fR does not free up the string's storage space
-even if the string is truncated to zero length, so \fBTcl_DStringFree\fR
-will still need to be called.
-.PP
-\fBTcl_DStringTrunc\fR changes the length of a dynamic string.
-This procedure is now deprecated.  \fBTcl_DStringSetLength\fR  should
-be used instead.
-.PP
-\fBTcl_DStringFree\fR should be called when you are finished using
-the string.  It frees up any memory that was allocated for the string
-and reinitializes the string's value to an empty string.
-.PP
-\fBTcl_DStringResult\fR sets the result of \fIinterp\fR to the value of
-the dynamic string given by \fIdsPtr\fR.  It does this by moving
-a pointer from \fIdsPtr\fR to the interpreter's result.
-This saves the cost of allocating new memory and copying the string.
-\fBTcl_DStringResult\fR also reinitializes the dynamic string to
-an empty string.
-.PP
-\fBTcl_DStringGetResult\fR does the opposite of \fBTcl_DStringResult\fR.
-It sets the value of \fIdsPtr\fR to the result of \fIinterp\fR and
-it clears \fIinterp\fR's result.
-If possible it does this by moving a pointer rather than by copying
-the string.
