The -only requirement is that the other shell (identified by its path), is -actually executable on the current machine. -.PP -While for most platform this means that the architecture of the -interrogated shell is identical to the architecture of the running -shell this is not generally true. A counter example are all platforms -which have 32 and 64 bit variants and where a 64bit system is able to -run 32bit code. For these running and interrogated shell may have -different 32/64 bit settings and thus different identifiers. -.PP -For applications like a code repository it is important to identify -the architecture of the shell which will actually run the installed -packages, versus the architecture of the shell running the repository -software. -.SH COMMANDS -.TP -\fBplatform::shell::identify \fIshell\fR -This command does the same identification as \fBplatform::identify\fR, -for the specified Tcl shell, in contrast to the running shell. -.TP -\fBplatform::shell::generic \fIshell\fR -This command does the same identification as \fBplatform::generic\fR, -for the specified Tcl shell, in contrast to the running shell. -.TP -\fBplatform::shell::platform \fIshell\fR -This command returns the contents of \fBtcl_platform(platform)\fR for -the specified Tcl shell. -.SH KEYWORDS -operating system, cpu architecture, platform, architecture |
