+.SH NAME
+Tcl_AllowExceptions \- allow all exceptions in next script evaluation
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+\fB#include <tcl.h>\fR
+.sp
+\fBTcl_AllowExceptions\fR(\fIinterp\fR)
+.SH ARGUMENTS
+.AS Tcl_Interp *doublePtr
+.AP Tcl_Interp *interp in
+Interpreter in which script will be evaluated.
+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+If a script is evaluated at top-level (i.e. no other scripts are
+pending evaluation when the script is invoked), and if the script
+terminates with a completion code other than TCL_OK, TCL_CONTINUE
+or TCL_RETURN, then Tcl normally converts this into a TCL_ERROR
+return with an appropriate message.
+.PP
+However, if \fBTcl_AllowExceptions\fR is invoked immediately before
+calling a procedure such as \fBTcl_Eval\fR, then arbitrary completion
+codes are permitted from the script, and they are returned without
+modification.
+This is useful in cases where the caller can deal with exceptions
+such as TCL_BREAK or TCL_CONTINUE in a meaningful way.
+
+.SH KEYWORDS
+continue, break, exception, interpreter
