It is used to create an appropriate \fBpackage ifneeded\fR +command for a given package specification. It can be used to construct a +\fBpkgIndex.tcl\fR file for use with the \fBpackage\fR mechanism. + +.SH OPTIONS +The parameters supported are: +.TP +\fB\-name \fIpackageName\fR +This parameter specifies the name of the package. It is required. +.TP +\fB\-version \fIpackageVersion\fR +This parameter specifies the version of the package. It is required. +.TP +\fB\-load \fIfilespec\fR +This parameter specifies a binary library that must be loaded with the +\fBload\fR command. \fIfilespec\fR is a list with two elements. The +first element is the name of the file to load. The second, optional +element is a list of commands supplied by loading that file. If the +list of procedures is empty or omitted, \fB::pkg::create\fR will +set up the library for direct loading (see \fBpkg_mkIndex\fR). Any +number of \fB\-load\fR parameters may be specified. +.TP +\fB\-source \fIfilespec\fR +This parameter is similar to the \fB\-load\fR parameter, except that it +specifies a Tcl library that must be loaded with the +\fBsource\fR command. Any number of \fB\-source\fR parameters may be +specified. +.PP +At least one \fB\-load\fR or \fB\-source\fR parameter must be given. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +package(n) +.SH KEYWORDS +auto-load, index, package, version |
