The option may not be abbreviated, in order to +disambiguate it from possible variable names. The option \fB\-\-\fR +indicates the end of the options, and should be used if you wish to +remove a variable with the same name as any of the options. +If an error occurs during variable deletion, any variables after the named one +causing the error are not +deleted. An error can occur when the named variable does not exist, or the +name refers to an array element but the variable is a scalar, or the name +refers to a variable in a non-existent namespace. +.SH EXAMPLE +.PP +Create an array containing a mapping from some numbers to their +squares and remove the array elements for non-prime numbers: +.PP +.CS +array set squares { + 1 1 6 36 + 2 4 7 49 + 3 9 8 64 + 4 16 9 81 + 5 25 10 100 +} + +puts "The squares are:" +parray squares + +\fBunset\fR squares(1) squares(4) squares(6) +\fBunset\fR squares(8) squares(9) squares(10) + +puts "The prime squares are:" +parray squares +.CE +.SH "SEE ALSO" +set(n), trace(n), upvar(n) +.SH KEYWORDS +remove, variable +'\" Local Variables: +'\" mode: nroff +'\" fill-column: 78 +'\" End: |
