.SH DESCRIPTION
@@ -90,6 +117,32 @@ to indicate which value was set.
Under normal circumstances \fIproc\fR should return TCL_OK.
If an error occurs while executing the function, \fIproc\fR should
return TCL_ERROR and leave an error message in the interpreter's result.
+.PP
+.VS 8.4
+\fBTcl_GetMathFuncInfo\fR retrieves the values associated with
+function \fIname\fR that were passed to a preceding
+\fBTcl_CreateMathFunc\fR call. Normally, the return code is
+\fBTCL_OK\fR but if the named function does not exist, \fBTCL_ERROR\fR
+is returned and an error message is placed in the interpreter's
+result.
+.PP
+If an error did not occur, the array reference placed in the variable
+pointed to by \fIargTypesPtr\fR is newly allocated, and should be
+released by passing it to \fBTcl_Free\fR. Some functions (the
+standard set implemented in the core) are implemented directly at the
+bytecode level; attempting to retrieve values for them causes a NULL
+to be stored in the variable pointed to by \fIprocPtr\fR and the
+variable pointed to by \fIclientDataPtr\fR will not be modified.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_ListMathFuncs\fR returns a Tcl object containing a list of all
+the math functions defined in the interpreter whose name matches
+\fIpattern\fR. In the case of an error, NULL is returned and an error
+message is left in the interpreter result, and otherwise the returned
+object will have a reference count of zero.
