 package by that name, and uses it if it is found.  If several
 different files have been \fBload\fRed with different versions of
 the package, Tcl picks the file that was loaded first.
+.PP
+If \fB\-global\fR is specified preceding the filename, all symbols
+found in the shared library are exported for global use by other
+libraries. The option \fB\-lazy\fR delays the actual loading of
+symbols until their first actual use. The options may be abbreviated.
+The option \fB\-\-\fR indicates the end of the options, and should
+be used if you wish to use a filename which starts with \fB\-\fR.
+On platforms which do not support the \fB\-global\fR or \fB\-lazy\fR
+options, the options still exist but have no effect.
