+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+These procedures are intended for access to the multiple interpreter
+facility from inside C programs. They enable managing multiple interpreters
+in a hierarchical relationship, and the management of aliases, commands
+that when invoked in one interpreter execute a command in another
+interpreter. The return value for those procedures that return an \fBint\fR
+is either \fBTCL_OK\fR or \fBTCL_ERROR\fR. If \fBTCL_ERROR\fR is returned
+then the \fBresult\fR field of the interpreter contains an error message.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_CreateSlave\fR creates a new interpreter as a slave of \fIinterp\fR.
+It also creates a slave command named \fIslaveName\fR in \fIinterp\fR which 
+allows \fIinterp\fR to manipulate the new slave. 
+If \fIisSafe\fR is zero, the command creates a trusted slave in which Tcl
+code has access to all the Tcl commands.
+If it is \fB1\fR, the command creates a ``safe'' slave in which Tcl code
+has access only to set of Tcl commands defined as ``Safe Tcl''; see the
+manual entry for the Tcl \fBinterp\fR command for details.
+If the creation of the new slave interpreter failed, \fBNULL\fR is returned.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_IsSafe\fR returns \fB1\fR if \fIinterp\fR is ``safe'' (was created
+with the \fBTCL_SAFE_INTERPRETER\fR flag specified),
+\fB0\fR otherwise.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_MakeSafe\fR makes \fIinterp\fR ``safe'' by removing all
+non-core and core unsafe functionality. Note that if you call this after
+adding some extension to an interpreter, all traces of that extension will
+be removed from the interpreter.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_GetSlave\fR returns a pointer to a slave interpreter of
+\fIinterp\fR. The slave interpreter is identified by \fIslaveName\fR.
+If no such slave interpreter exists, \fBNULL\fR is returned.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_GetMaster\fR returns a pointer to the master interpreter of
+\fIinterp\fR. If \fIinterp\fR has no master (it is a
+top-level interpreter) then \fBNULL\fR is returned.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_GetInterpPath\fR sets the \fIresult\fR field in \fIaskingInterp\fR
+to the relative path between \fIaskingInterp\fR and \fIslaveInterp\fR;
+\fIslaveInterp\fR must be a slave of \fIaskingInterp\fR. If the computation
+of the relative path succeeds, \fBTCL_OK\fR is returned, else
+\fBTCL_ERROR\fR is returned and the \fIresult\fR field in
+\fIaskingInterp\fR contains the error message.
+.PP
+.VS
+\fBTcl_CreateAlias\fR creates an object command named \fIsrcCmd\fR in
+\fIslaveInterp\fR that when invoked, will cause the command \fItargetCmd\fR
+to be invoked in \fItargetInterp\fR. The arguments specified by the strings
+contained in \fIargv\fR are always prepended to any arguments supplied in the
+invocation of \fIsrcCmd\fR and passed to \fItargetCmd\fR.
+This operation returns \fBTCL_OK\fR if it succeeds, or \fBTCL_ERROR\fR if
+it fails; in that case, an error message is left in the object result
+of \fIslaveInterp\fR.
+Note that there are no restrictions on the ancestry relationship (as
+created by \fBTcl_CreateSlave\fR) between \fIslaveInterp\fR and
+\fItargetInterp\fR. Any two interpreters can be used, without any
+restrictions on how they are related.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_CreateAliasObj\fR is similar to \fBTcl_CreateAliasObj\fR except 
+that it takes a vector of objects to pass as additional arguments instead
+of a vector of strings.
+.VE
+.PP
+\fBTcl_GetAlias\fR returns information about an alias \fIaliasName\fR
+in \fIinterp\fR. Any of the result fields can be \fBNULL\fR, in
+which case the corresponding datum is not returned. If a result field is
+non\-\fBNULL\fR, the address indicated is set to the corresponding datum.
+For example, if \fItargetNamePtr\fR is non\-\fBNULL\fR it is set to a
+pointer to the string containing the name of the target command.
+.VS
+.PP
+\fBTcl_GetAliasObj\fR is similar to \fBTcl_GetAlias\fR except that it
+returns a pointer to a vector of Tcl_Obj structures instead of a vector of
+strings.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_ExposeCommand\fR moves the command named \fIhiddenCmdName\fR from
+the set of hidden commands to the set of exposed commands, putting
+it under the name
+\fIcmdName\fR. 
+\fIHiddenCmdName\fR must be the name of an existing hidden
+command, or the operation will return \fBTCL_ERROR\fR and leave an error
+message in the \fIresult\fR field in \fIinterp\fR.
+If an exposed command named \fIcmdName\fR already exists,
+the operation returns \fBTCL_ERROR\fR and leaves an error message in the
+object result of \fIinterp\fR.
+If the operation succeeds, it returns \fBTCL_OK\fR.
+After executing this command, attempts to use \fIcmdName\fR in a call to
+\fBTcl_Eval\fR or with the Tcl \fBeval\fR command will again succeed.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_HideCommand\fR moves the command named \fIcmdName\fR from the set of
+exposed commands to the set of hidden commands, under the name
+\fIhiddenCmdName\fR.
+\fICmdName\fR must be the name of an existing exposed
+command, or the operation will return \fBTCL_ERROR\fR and leave an error
+message in the object result of \fIinterp\fR.
+Currently both \fIcmdName\fR and \fIhiddenCmdName\fR must not contain
+namespace qualifiers, or the operation will return \fBTCL_ERROR\fR and
+leave an error message in the object result of \fIinterp\fR.
+The \fICmdName\fR will be looked up in the global namespace, and not
+relative to the current namespace, even if the current namespace is not the
+global one.
+If a hidden command whose name is \fIhiddenCmdName\fR already
+exists, the operation also returns \fBTCL_ERROR\fR and the \fIresult\fR
+field in \fIinterp\fR contains an error message.
+If the operation succeeds, it returns \fBTCL_OK\fR.
+After executing this command, attempts to use \fIcmdName\fR in a call to
+\fBTcl_Eval\fR or with the Tcl \fBeval\fR command will fail.
