-.SH NAME
-global \- Access global variables
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-\fBglobal \fR?\fIvarname ...\fR?
-.BE
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.PP
-This command has no effect unless executed in the context of a proc body.
-If the \fBglobal\fR command is executed in the context of a proc body, it
-creates local variables linked to the corresponding global variables (though
-these linked variables, like those created by \fBupvar\fR, are not included
-in the list returned by \fBinfo locals\fR).
-.PP
-If \fIvarname\fR contains namespace qualifiers, the local variable's name is
-the unqualified name of the global variable, as determined by the
-\fBnamespace tail\fR command.
-.PP
-\fIvarname\fR is always treated as the name of a variable, not an
-array element. An error is returned if the name looks like an array element,
-such as \fBa(b)\fR.
-.SH EXAMPLES
-.PP
-This procedure sets the namespace variable \fI::a::x\fR
-.PP
-.CS
-proc reset {} {
- \fBglobal\fR a::x
- set x 0
-}
-.CE
-.PP
-This procedure accumulates the strings passed to it in a global
-buffer, separated by newlines. It is useful for situations when you
-want to build a message piece-by-piece (as if with \fBputs\fR) but
-send that full message in a single piece (e.g. over a connection
-opened with \fBsocket\fR or as part of a counted HTTP response).
-.PP
-.CS
-proc accum {string} {
- \fBglobal\fR accumulator
- append accumulator $string \en
