+.SH NAME
+Tcl_StaticLibrary, Tcl_StaticPackage \- make a statically linked library available via the 'load' command
+.SH SYNOPSIS

+\fBTcl_StaticLibrary\fR(\fIinterp, prefix, initProc, safeInitProc\fR)
+.sp
+\fBTcl_StaticPackage\fR(\fIinterp, prefix, initProc, safeInitProc\fR)
+.SH ARGUMENTS
+.AS Tcl_LibraryInitProc *safeInitProc
+.AP Tcl_Interp *interp in
+If not NULL, points to an interpreter into which the library has
+already been incorporated (i.e., the caller has already invoked the
+appropriate initialization procedure). NULL means the library
+has not yet been incorporated into any interpreter.
+.AP "const char" *prefix in
+Prefix for library initialization function; should be properly
+capitalized (first letter upper-case, all others lower-case).
+.AP Tcl_LibraryInitProc *initProc in
+Procedure to invoke to incorporate this library into a trusted
+interpreter.
+.AP Tcl_LibraryInitProc *safeInitProc in
+Procedure to call to incorporate this library into a safe interpreter
+(one that will execute untrusted scripts). NULL means the library
+cannot be used in safe interpreters.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+This procedure may be invoked to announce that a library has been
+linked statically with a Tcl application and, optionally, that it
+has already been incorporated into an interpreter.
+Once \fBTcl_StaticLibrary\fR has been invoked for a library, it
+may be incorporated into interpreters using the \fBload\fR command.
+\fBTcl_StaticLibrary\fR is normally invoked only by the \fBTcl_AppInit\fR
+procedure for the application, not by libraries for themselves
+(\fBTcl_StaticLibrary\fR should only be invoked for statically
+linked libraries, and code in the library itself should not need
+to know whether the library is dynamically loaded or statically linked).
+.PP
+When the \fBload\fR command is used later to incorporate the library into
+an interpreter, one of \fIinitProc\fR and \fIsafeInitProc\fR will
+be invoked, depending on whether the target interpreter is safe
+or not.
+\fIinitProc\fR and \fIsafeInitProc\fR must both match the
+following prototype:
+.PP
+.CS
+typedef int \fBTcl_LibraryInitProc\fR(
+ Tcl_Interp *\fIinterp\fR);
+.CE
+.PP
+The \fIinterp\fR argument identifies the interpreter in which the library
+is to be incorporated. The initialization procedure must return \fBTCL_OK\fR or
+\fBTCL_ERROR\fR to indicate whether or not it completed successfully; in
+the event of an error it should set the interpreter's result to point to an
+error message. The result or error from the initialization procedure will
+be returned as the result of the \fBload\fR command that caused the
+initialization procedure to be invoked.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_StaticLibrary\fR was named \fBTcl_StaticPackage\fR in Tcl 8.6 and
+earlier, but the old name is deprecated now.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_StaticLibrary\fR can not be used in stub-enabled extensions. Its symbol
+entry in the stub table is deprecated and it will be removed in Tcl 9.0.
