+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+These procedures are used to manipulate two Tcl global variables
+that hold information about errors.
+The variable \fBerrorInfo\fR holds a stack trace of the
+operations that were in progress when an error occurred,
+and is intended to be human-readable.
+The variable \fBerrorCode\fR holds a list of items that
+are intended to be machine-readable.
+The first item in \fBerrorCode\fR identifies the class of
+error that occurred
+(e.g. POSIX means an error occurred in a POSIX system call)
+and additional elements in \fBerrorCode\fR hold additional pieces
+of information that depend on the class.
+See the Tcl overview manual entry for details on the various
+formats for \fBerrorCode\fR.
+.PP
+The \fBerrorInfo\fR variable is gradually built up as an
+error unwinds through the nested operations.
+Each time an error code is returned to \fBTcl_EvalObj\fR
+(or \fBTcl_Eval\fR, which calls \fBTcl_EvalObj\fR)
+it calls the procedure \fBTcl_AddObjErrorInfo\fR to add
+additional text to \fBerrorInfo\fR describing the
+command that was being executed when the error occurred.
+By the time the error has been passed all the way back
+to the application, it will contain a complete trace
+of the activity in progress when the error occurred.
+.PP
+It is sometimes useful to add additional information to
+\fBerrorInfo\fR beyond what can be supplied automatically
+by \fBTcl_EvalObj\fR.
+\fBTcl_AddObjErrorInfo\fR may be used for this purpose:
+its \fImessage\fR and \fIlength\fR arguments describe an additional
+string to be appended to \fBerrorInfo\fR.
+For example, the \fBsource\fR command calls \fBTcl_AddObjErrorInfo\fR
+to record the name of the file being processed and the
+line number on which the error occurred;
+for Tcl procedures, the procedure name and line number
+within the procedure are recorded, and so on.
+The best time to call \fBTcl_AddObjErrorInfo\fR is just after
+\fBTcl_EvalObj\fR has returned \fBTCL_ERROR\fR.
+In calling \fBTcl_AddObjErrorInfo\fR, you may find it useful to
+use the \fBerrorLine\fR field of the interpreter (see the
+\fBTcl_Interp\fR manual entry for details).
+.PP
+\fBTcl_AddErrorInfo\fR resembles \fBTcl_AddObjErrorInfo\fR
+but differs in initializing \fBerrorInfo\fR from the string
+value of the interpreter's result
+if the error is just starting to be logged.
+It does not use the result as a Tcl object
+so any embedded null characters in the result
+will cause information to be lost.
+It also takes a conventional C string in \fImessage\fR
+instead of \fBTcl_AddObjErrorInfo\fR's counted string.
+.PP
+The procedure \fBTcl_SetObjErrorCode\fR is used to set the
+\fBerrorCode\fR variable. \fIerrorObjPtr\fR contains a list object
+built up by the caller. \fBerrorCode\fR is set to this
+value. \fBTcl_SetObjErrorCode\fR is typically invoked just 
+before returning an error in an object command. If an error is
+returned without calling \fBTcl_SetObjErrorCode\fR or
+\fBTcl_SetErrorCode\fR the Tcl interpreter automatically sets
+\fBerrorCode\fR to \fBNONE\fR.
+.PP
+The procedure \fBTcl_SetErrorCode\fR is also used to set the
+\fBerrorCode\fR variable. However, it takes one or more strings to
+record instead of an object. Otherwise, it is similar to
+\fBTcl_SetObjErrorCode\fR in behavior.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_PosixError\fR
+sets the \fBerrorCode\fR variable after an error in a POSIX kernel call.
+It reads the value of the \fBerrno\fR C variable and calls
+\fBTcl_SetErrorCode\fR to set \fBerrorCode\fR in the \fBPOSIX\fR format.
+The caller must previously have called \fBTcl_SetErrno\fR to set
+\fBerrno\fR; this is necessary on some platforms (e.g. Windows) where Tcl
+is linked into an application as a shared library, or when the error
+occurs in a dynamically loaded extension. See the manual entry for
+\fBTcl_SetErrno\fR for more information.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_PosixError\fR returns a human-readable diagnostic message
+for the error
+(this is the same value that will appear as the third element
+in \fBerrorCode\fR).
+It may be convenient to include this string as part of the
+error message returned to the application in
+the interpreter's result.
+.PP
+It is important to call the procedures described here rather than
+setting \fBerrorInfo\fR or \fBerrorCode\fR directly with
+\fBTcl_ObjSetVar2\fR.
+The reason for this is that the Tcl interpreter keeps information
+about whether these procedures have been called.
+For example, the first time \fBTcl_AddObjErrorInfo\fR is called
+for an error, it clears the existing value of \fBerrorInfo\fR
+and adds the error message in the interpreter's result to the variable
+before appending \fImessage\fR;
+in subsequent calls, it just appends the new \fImessage\fR.
+When \fBTcl_SetErrorCode\fR is called, it sets a flag indicating
+that \fBerrorCode\fR has been set;
+this allows the Tcl interpreter to set \fBerrorCode\fR to \fBNONE\fR
+if it receives an error return
+when \fBTcl_SetErrorCode\fR hasn't been called.
+.PP
+If the procedure \fBTcl_ResetResult\fR is called,
+it clears all of the state associated with
+\fBerrorInfo\fR and \fBerrorCode\fR
+(but it doesn't actually modify the variables).
+If an error had occurred, this will clear the error state to
+make it appear as if no error had occurred after all.

+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+\fBTcl_AppInit\fR is a ``hook'' procedure that is invoked by
+the main programs for Tcl applications such as \fBtclsh\fR and \fBwish\fR.
+Its purpose is to allow new Tcl applications to be created without
+modifying the main programs provided as part of Tcl and Tk.
+To create a new application you write a new version of
+\fBTcl_AppInit\fR to replace the default version provided by Tcl,
+then link your new \fBTcl_AppInit\fR with the Tcl library.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_AppInit\fR is invoked after by \fBTcl_Main\fR and \fBTk_Main\fR
+after their own initialization and before entering the main loop
+to process commands.
+Here are some examples of things that \fBTcl_AppInit\fR might do:
+.IP [1]
+Call initialization procedures for various packages used by
+the application.
+Each initialization procedure adds new commands to \fIinterp\fR
+for its package and performs other package-specific initialization.
+.IP [2]
+Process command-line arguments, which can be accessed from the
+Tcl variables \fBargv\fR and \fBargv0\fR in \fIinterp\fR.
+.IP [3]
+Invoke a startup script to initialize the application.
+.LP
+\fBTcl_AppInit\fR returns TCL_OK or TCL_ERROR.
+If it returns TCL_ERROR then it must leave an error message in
+\fIinterp->result\fR;  otherwise the result is ignored.
+.PP
+In addition to \fBTcl_AppInit\fR, your application should also contain
+a procedure \fBmain\fR that calls \fBTcl_Main\fR as follows:
+.CS
+Tcl_Main(argc, argv, Tcl_AppInit);
+.CE
+The third argument to \fBTcl_Main\fR gives the address of the
+application-specific initialization procedure to invoke.
+This means that you don't have to use the name \fBTcl_AppInit\fR
+for the procedure, but in practice the name is nearly always
+\fBTcl_AppInit\fR (in versions before Tcl 7.4 the name \fBTcl_AppInit\fR
+was implicit;  there was no way to specify the procedure explicitly).
+The best way to get started is to make a copy of the file
+\fBtclAppInit.c\fR from the Tcl library or source directory.
+It already contains a \fBmain\fR procedure and a template for
+\fBTcl_AppInit\fR that you can modify for your application.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+These procedures allow extensions to associate their own data with
+a Tcl interpreter.
+An association consists of a string key, typically the name of
+the extension, and a one-word value, which is typically a pointer
+to a data structure holding data specific to the extension.
+Tcl makes no interpretation of either the key or the value for
+an association.
+.PP
+Storage management is facilitated by storing with each association a
+procedure to call when the interpreter is deleted. This
+procedure can dispose of the storage occupied by the client's data in any
+way it sees fit.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_SetAssocData\fR creates an association between a string
+key and a user specified datum in the given interpreter.
+If there is already an association with the given \fIkey\fR,
+\fBTcl_SetAssocData\fR overwrites it with the new information.
+It is up to callers to organize their use of names to avoid conflicts,
+for example, by using package names as the keys.
+If the \fIdeleteProc\fR argument is non-NULL it specifies the address of a
+procedure to invoke if the interpreter is deleted before the association
+is deleted.  \fIDeleteProc\fR should have arguments and result that match
+the type \fBTcl_InterpDeleteProc\fR:
+.CS
+typedef void Tcl_InterpDeleteProc(
+	ClientData \fIclientData\fR,

+.CE
+When \fIdeleteProc\fR is invoked the \fIclientData\fR and \fIinterp\fR

+The deletion procedure will \fInot\fR be invoked if the association
+is deleted before the interpreter is deleted.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_GetAssocData\fR returns the datum stored in the association with the
+specified key in the given interpreter, and if the \fIdelProcPtr\fR field
+is non-\fBNULL\fR, the address indicated by it gets the address of the
+delete procedure stored with this association. If no association with the
+specified key exists in the given interpreter \fBTcl_GetAssocData\fR
+returns \fBNULL\fR.

+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+These procedures provide a safe mechanism for dealing with
+asynchronous events such as signals.
+If an event such as a signal occurs while a Tcl script is being
+evaluated then it isn't safe to take any substantive action to
+process the event.
+For example, it isn't safe to evaluate a Tcl script since the
+interpreter may already be in the middle of evaluating a script;
+it may not even be safe to allocate memory, since a memory
+allocation could have been in progress when the event occurred.
+The only safe approach is to set a flag indicating that the event
+occurred, then handle the event later when the world has returned
+to a clean state, such as after the current Tcl command completes.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_AsyncCreate\fR creates an asynchronous handler and returns
+a token for it.
+The asynchronous handler must be created before
+any occurrences of the asynchronous event that it is intended
+to handle (it is not safe to create a handler at the time of
+an event).
+When an asynchronous event occurs the code that detects the event
+(such as a signal handler) should call \fBTcl_AsyncMark\fR with the
+token for the handler.
+\fBTcl_AsyncMark\fR will mark the handler as ready to execute, but it
+will not invoke the handler immediately.
+Tcl will call the \fIproc\fR associated with the handler later, when
+the world is in a safe state, and \fIproc\fR can then carry out
+the actions associated with the asynchronous event.
+\fIProc\fR should have arguments and result that match the
+type \fBTcl_AsyncProc\fR:
+.CS
+typedef int Tcl_AsyncProc(
+	ClientData \fIclientData\fR,
+	Tcl_Interp *\fIinterp\fR,
+	int \fIcode\fR);
+.CE
+The \fIclientData\fR will be the same as the \fIclientData\fR
+argument passed to \fBTcl_AsyncCreate\fR when the handler was
+created.
+If \fIproc\fR is invoked just after a command has completed
+execution in an interpreter, then \fIinterp\fR will identify
+the interpreter in which the command was evaluated and
+\fIcode\fR will be the completion code returned by that
+command.
+The command's result will be present in \fIinterp->result\fR.
+When \fIproc\fR returns, whatever it leaves in \fIinterp->result\fR
+will be returned as the result of the command and the integer
+value returned by \fIproc\fR will be used as the new completion
+code for the command.
+.PP
+It is also possible for \fIproc\fR to be invoked when no interpreter
+is active.
+This can happen, for example, if an asynchronous event occurs while
+the application is waiting for interactive input or an X event.
+In this case \fIinterp\fR will be NULL and \fIcode\fR will be
+0, and the return value from \fIproc\fR will be ignored.
+.PP
+The procedure \fBTcl_AsyncInvoke\fR is called to invoke all of the
+handlers that are ready.
+The procedure \fBTcl_AsyncReady\fR will return non-zero whenever any
+asynchronous handlers are ready;  it can be checked to avoid calls
+to \fBTcl_AsyncInvoke\fR when there are no ready handlers.
+Tcl calls \fBTcl_AsyncReady\fR after each command is evaluated
+and calls \fBTcl_AsyncInvoke\fR if needed.
+Applications may also call \fBTcl_AsyncInvoke\fR at interesting
+times for that application.
+For example, Tcl's event handler calls \fBTcl_AsyncReady\fR
+after each event and calls \fBTcl_AsyncInvoke\fR if needed.
+The \fIinterp\fR and \fIcode\fR arguments to \fBTcl_AsyncInvoke\fR
+have the same meaning as for \fIproc\fR:  they identify the active
+interpreter, if any, and the completion code from the command
+that just completed.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_AsyncDelete\fR removes an asynchronous handler so that
+its \fIproc\fR will never be invoked again.
+A handler can be deleted even when ready, and it will still
+not be invoked.
+.PP
+If multiple handlers become active at the same time, the
+handlers are invoked in the order they were created (oldest
+handler first).
+The \fIcode\fR and \fIinterp->result\fR for later handlers
+reflect the values returned by earlier handlers, so that
+the most recently created handler has last say about
+the interpreter's result and completion code.
+If new handlers become ready while handlers are executing,
+\fBTcl_AsyncInvoke\fR will invoke them all;  at each point it
+invokes the highest-priority (oldest) ready handler, repeating
+this over and over until there are no longer any ready handlers.
+
+.SH WARNING
+.PP
+It is almost always a bad idea for an asynchronous event
+handler to modify \fIinterp->result\fR or return a code different
+from its \fIcode\fR argument.
+This sort of behavior can disrupt the execution of scripts in
+subtle ways and result in bugs that are extremely difficult
+to track down.
+If an asynchronous event handler needs to evaluate Tcl scripts
+then it should first save \fIinterp->result\fR plus the values
+of the variables \fBerrorInfo\fR and \fBerrorCode\fR (this can
+be done, for example, by storing them in dynamic strings).
+When the asynchronous handler is finished it should restore
+\fIinterp->result\fR, \fBerrorInfo\fR, and \fBerrorCode\fR,
+and return the \fIcode\fR argument.

+.SH NAME
+Tcl_BackgroundError \- report Tcl error that occurred in background processing
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+\fB#include <tcl.h>\fR
+.sp
+\fBTcl_BackgroundError\fR(\fIinterp\fR)
+.SH ARGUMENTS
+.AS Tcl_Interp *interp
+.AP Tcl_Interp *interp in
+Interpreter in which the error occurred.
+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+This procedure is typically invoked when a Tcl error occurs during
+``background processing'' such as executing an event handler.
+When such an error occurs, the error condition is reported to Tcl
+or to a widget or some other C code, and there is not usually any
+obvious way for that code to report the error to the user.
+In these cases the code calls \fBTcl_BackgroundError\fR with an
+\fIinterp\fR argument identifying the interpreter in which the
+error occurred.  At the time \fBTcl_BackgroundError\fR is invoked,
+\fIinterp->result\fR is expected to contain an error message.
+\fBTcl_BackgroundError\fR will invoke the \fBbgerror\fR
+Tcl command to report the error in an application-specific fashion.
+If no \fBbgerror\fR command exists, or if it returns with an error condition,
+then \fBTcl_BackgroundError\fR reports the error itself by printing
+a message on the standard error file.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_BackgroundError\fR does not invoke \fBbgerror\fR immediately
+because this could potentially interfere with scripts that are in process
+at the time the error occurred.
+Instead, it invokes \fBbgerror\fR later as an idle callback.
+\fBTcl_BackgroundError\fR saves the values of the \fBerrorInfo\fR and
+\fBerrorCode\fR variables and restores these values just before
+invoking \fBbgerror\fR.
+.PP
+It is possible for many background errors to accumulate before
+\fBbgerror\fR is invoked.  When this happens, each of the errors
+is processed in order.  However, if \fBbgerror\fR returns a
+break exception, then all remaining error reports for the
+interpreter are skipped.

+\fBTcl_Concat\fR is a utility procedure used by several of the

+\fBTcl_Merge\fR, in that the arguments are simply concatenated:

+\fBTcl_Concat\fR eliminates leading and trailing white space as it
+copies strings from \fBargv\fR to the result.  If an element of
+\fBargv\fR consists of nothing but white space, then that string
+is ignored entirely.  This white-space removal was added to make
+the output of the \fBconcat\fR command cleaner-looking.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+Tcl uses a two-layered channel architecture. It provides a generic upper
+layer to enable C and Tcl programs to perform input and output using the
+same APIs for a variety of files, devices, sockets etc. The generic C APIs
+are described in the manual entry for \fBTcl_OpenFileChannel\fR.
+.PP
+The lower layer provides type-specific channel drivers for each type
+of device supported on each platform.  This manual entry describes the
+C APIs used to communicate between the generic layer and the
+type-specific channel drivers.  It also explains how new types of
+channels can be added by providing new channel drivers.
+.PP
+Channel drivers consist of a number of components: First, each channel
+driver provides a \fBTcl_ChannelType\fR structure containing pointers to
+functions implementing the various operations used by the generic layer to
+communicate with the channel driver. The \fBTcl_ChannelType\fR structure
+and the functions referenced by it are described in the section
+TCL_CHANNELTYPE, below.
+.PP
+Second, channel drivers usually provide a Tcl command to create
+instances of that type of channel. For example, the Tcl \fBopen\fR
+command creates channels that use the file and command channel
+drivers, and the Tcl \fBsocket\fR command creates channels that use
+TCP sockets for network communication.
+.PP
+Third, a channel driver optionally provides a C function to open
+channel instances of that type. For example, \fBTcl_OpenFileChannel\fR
+opens a channel that uses the file channel driver, and
+\fBTcl_OpenTcpClient\fR opens a channel that uses the TCP network
+protocol.  These creation functions typically use
+\fBTcl_CreateChannel\fR internally to open the channel.
+.PP
+To add a new type of channel you must implement a C API or a Tcl command
+that opens a channel by invoking \fBTcl_CreateChannel\fR.
+When your driver calls \fBTcl_CreateChannel\fR it passes in
+a \fBTcl_ChannelType\fR structure describing the driver's I/O
+procedures.
+The generic layer will then invoke the functions referenced in that
+structure to perform operations on the channel.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_CreateChannel\fR opens a new channel and associates the supplied
+\fItypePtr\fR and \fIinstanceData\fR with it. The channel is opened in the
+mode indicated by \fImask\fR.
+For a discussion of channel drivers, their operations and the
+\fBTcl_ChannelType\fR structure, see the section TCL_CHANNELTYPE, below.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_GetChannelInstanceData\fR returns the instance data associated with
+the channel in \fIchannel\fR. This is the same as the \fIinstanceData\fR
+argument in the call to \fBTcl_CreateChannel\fR that created this channel.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_GetChannelType\fR returns a pointer to the \fBTcl_ChannelType\fR
+structure used by the channel in the \fIchannel\fR argument. This is
+the same as the \fItypePtr\fR argument in the call to
+\fBTcl_CreateChannel\fR that created this channel.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_GetChannelName\fR returns a string containing the name associated
+with the channel, or NULL if the \fIchannelName\fR argument to
+\fBTcl_CreateChannel\fR was NULL.
+.PP
+.VS
+\fBTcl_GetChannelHandle\fR places the OS-specific device handle
+associated with \fIchannel\fR for the given \fIdirection\fR in the
+location specified by \fIhandlePtr\fR and returns \fBTCL_OK\fR.  If
+the channel does not have a device handle for the specified direction,
+then \fBTCL_ERROR\fR is returned instead.  Different channel drivers
+will return different types of handle.  Refer to the manual entries
+for each driver to determine what type of handle is returned.
+.VE
+.PP
+\fBTcl_GetChannelMode\fR returns an OR-ed combination of \fBTCL_READABLE\fR
+and \fBTCL_WRITABLE\fR, indicating whether the channel is open for input
+and output.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_SetDefaultTranslation\fR sets the default end of line translation
+mode. This mode will be installed as the translation mode for the channel
+if an attempt is made to output on the channel while it is still in
+\fBTCL_TRANSLATE_AUTO\fR mode. For a description of end of line translation
+modes, see the manual entry for \fBfconfigure\fR.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_GetChannelBufferSize\fR returns the size, in bytes, of buffers
+allocated to store input or output in \fIchan\fR. If the value was not set
+by a previous call to \fBTcl_SetChannelBufferSize\fR, described below, then
+the default value of 4096 is returned.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_SetChannelBufferSize\fR sets the size, in bytes, of buffers that
+will be allocated in subsequent operations on the channel to store input or
+output. The \fIsize\fR argument should be between ten and one million,
+allowing buffers of ten bytes to one million bytes. If \fIsize\fR is
+outside this range, \fBTcl_SetChannelBufferSize\fR sets the buffer size to
+4096.
+.PP
+.VS
+\fBTcl_NotifyChannel\fR is called by a channel driver to indicate to
+the generic layer that the events specified by \fImask\fR have
+occurred on the channel.  Channel drivers are responsible for invoking
+this function whenever the channel handlers need to be called for the
+channel.  See \fBWATCHPROC\fR below for more details.
+.VE
+.PP
+.VS
+\fBTcl_BadChannelOption\fR is called from driver specific set or get option
+procs to generate a complete error message.
+.VE
+
+.SH TCL_CHANNELTYPE
+.PP
+A channel driver provides a \fBTcl_ChannelType\fR structure that contains
+pointers to functions that implement the various operations on a channel;
+these operations are invoked as needed by the generic layer. The
+\fBTcl_ChannelType\fR structure contains the following fields:
+.PP
+.VS
+.CS
+typedef struct Tcl_ChannelType {
+	char *\fItypeName\fR;
+	Tcl_DriverBlockModeProc *\fIblockModeProc\fR;	
+	Tcl_DriverCloseProc *\fIcloseProc\fR;
+	Tcl_DriverInputProc *\fIinputProc\fR;
+	Tcl_DriverOutputProc *\fIoutputProc\fR;
+	Tcl_DriverSeekProc *\fIseekProc\fR;
+	Tcl_DriverSetOptionProc *\fIsetOptionProc\fR;
+	Tcl_DriverGetOptionProc *\fIgetOptionProc\fR;
+	Tcl_DriverWatchProc *\fIwatchProc\fR;
+	Tcl_DriverGetHandleProc *\fIgetHandleProc\fR;
+} Tcl_ChannelType;
+.CE
+.VE
+.PP
+The driver must provide implementations for all functions except
+\fIblockModeProc\fR, \fIseekProc\fR, \fIsetOptionProc\fR, and
+\fIgetOptionProc\fR, which may be specified as NULL to indicate that the
+channel does not support seeking.  Other functions that can not be
+implemented for this type of device should return \fBEINVAL\fR when invoked
+to indicate that they are not implemented.
+
+.SH TYPENAME
+.PP
+The \fItypeName\fR field contains a null-terminated string that
+identifies the type of the device implemented by this driver, e.g.
+\fBfile\fR or \fBsocket\fR.
+
+.SH BLOCKMODEPROC
+.PP
+The \fIblockModeProc\fR field contains the address of a function called by
+the generic layer to set blocking and nonblocking mode on the device.
+\fIBlockModeProc\fR should match the following prototype:
+.PP
+.CS
+typedef int Tcl_DriverBlockModeProc(
+	ClientData \fIinstanceData\fR,
+	int \fImode\fR);
+.CE
+.PP
+The \fIinstanceData\fR is the same as the value passed to
+\fBTcl_CreateChannel\fR when this channel was created.  The \fImode\fR
+argument is either \fBTCL_MODE_BLOCKING\fR or \fBTCL_MODE_NONBLOCKING\fR to
+set the device into blocking or nonblocking mode. The function should
+return zero if the operation was successful, or a nonzero POSIX error code
+if the operation failed.
+.PP
+If the operation is successful, the function can modify the supplied
+\fIinstanceData\fR to record that the channel entered blocking or
+nonblocking mode and to implement the blocking or nonblocking behavior.
+For some device types, the blocking and nonblocking behavior can be
+implemented by the underlying operating system; for other device types, the
+behavior must be emulated in the channel driver.
+
+.SH CLOSEPROC
+.PP
+The \fIcloseProc\fR field contains the address of a function called by the
+generic layer to clean up driver-related information when the channel is
+closed. \fICloseProc\fR must match the following prototype:
+.PP
+.CS
+typedef int Tcl_DriverCloseProc(
+	ClientData \fIinstanceData\fR,
+	Tcl_Interp *\fIinterp\fR);
+.CE
+.PP
+The \fIinstanceData\fR argument is the same as the value provided to
+\fBTcl_CreateChannel\fR when the channel was created. The function should
+release any storage maintained by the channel driver for this channel, and
+close the input and output devices encapsulated by this channel. All queued
+output will have been flushed to the device before this function is called,
+and no further driver operations will be invoked on this instance after
+calling the \fIcloseProc\fR. If the close operation is successful, the
+procedure should return zero; otherwise it should return a nonzero POSIX
+error code. In addition, if an error occurs and \fIinterp\fR is not NULL,
+the procedure should store an error message in \fIinterp->result\fR.
+
+.SH INPUTPROC
+.PP
+The \fIinputProc\fR field contains the address of a function called by the
+generic layer to read data from the file or device and store it in an
+internal buffer. \fIInputProc\fR must match the following prototype:
+.PP
+.CS
+typedef int Tcl_DriverInputProc(
+	ClientData \fIinstanceData\fR,
+	char *\fIbuf\fR,
+	int \fIbufSize\fR,
+	int *\fIerrorCodePtr\fR);
+.CE
+.PP
+\fIInstanceData\fR is the same as the value passed to
+\fBTcl_CreateChannel\fR when the channel was created.  The \fIbuf\fR
+argument points to an array of bytes in which to store input from the
+device, and the \fIbufSize\fR argument indicates how many bytes are
+available at \fIbuf\fR.
+.PP
+The \fIerrorCodePtr\fR argument points to an integer variable provided by
+the generic layer. If an error occurs, the function should set the variable
+to a POSIX error code that identifies the error that occurred.
+.PP
+The function should read data from the input device encapsulated by the
+channel and store it at \fIbuf\fR.  On success, the function should return
+a nonnegative integer indicating how many bytes were read from the input
+device and stored at \fIbuf\fR. On error, the function should return -1. If
+an error occurs after some data has been read from the device, that data is
+lost.
+.PP
+If \fIinputProc\fR can determine that the input device has some data
+available but less than requested by the \fIbufSize\fR argument, the
+function should only attempt to read as much data as is available and
+return without blocking. If the input device has no data available
+whatsoever and the channel is in nonblocking mode, the function should
+return an \fBEAGAIN\fR error. If the input device has no data available
+whatsoever and the channel is in blocking mode, the function should block
+for the shortest possible time until at least one byte of data can be read
+from the device; then, it should return as much data as it can read without
+blocking.
+
+.SH OUTPUTPROC
+.PP
+The \fIoutputProc\fR field contains the address of a function called by the
+generic layer to transfer data from an internal buffer to the output device.
+\fIOutputProc\fR must match the following prototype:
+.PP
+.CS
+typedef int Tcl_DriverOutputProc(
+	ClientData \fIinstanceData\fR,
+	char *\fIbuf\fR,
+	int \fItoWrite\fR,
+	int *\fIerrorCodePtr\fR);
+.CE
+.PP
+\fIInstanceData\fR is the same as the value passed to
+\fBTcl_CreateChannel\fR when the channel was created. The \fIbuf\fR
+argument contains an array of bytes to be written to the device, and the
+\fItoWrite\fR argument indicates how many bytes are to be written from the
+\fIbuf\fR argument.
+.PP
+The \fIerrorCodePtr\fR argument points to an integer variable provided by
+the generic layer. If an error occurs, the function should set this
+variable to a POSIX error code that identifies the error.
+.PP
+The function should write the data at \fIbuf\fR to the output device
+encapsulated by the channel. On success, the function should return a
+nonnegative integer indicating how many bytes were written to the output
+device.  The return value is normally the same as \fItoWrite\fR, but may be
+less in some cases such as if the output operation is interrupted by a
+signal. If an error occurs the function should return -1.  In case of
+error, some data may have been written to the device.
+.PP
+If the channel is nonblocking and the output device is unable to absorb any
+data whatsoever, the function should return -1 with an \fBEAGAIN\fR error
+without writing any data.
+
+.SH SEEKPROC
+.PP
+The \fIseekProc\fR field contains the address of a function called by the
+generic layer to move the access point at which subsequent input or output
+operations will be applied. \fISeekProc\fR must match the following
+prototype:
+.PP
+.CS
+typedef int Tcl_DriverSeekProc(
+	ClientData \fIinstanceData\fR,
+	long \fIoffset\fR,
+	int \fIseekMode\fR,
+	int *\fIerrorCodePtr\fR);
+.CE
+.PP
+The \fIinstanceData\fR argument is the same as the value given to
+\fBTcl_CreateChannel\fR when this channel was created.  \fIOffset\fR and
+\fIseekMode\fR have the same meaning as for the \fBTcl_SeekChannel\fR
+procedure (described in the manual entry for \fBTcl_OpenFileChannel\fR).
+.PP
+The \fIerrorCodePtr\fR argument points to an integer variable provided by
+the generic layer for returning \fBerrno\fR values from the function.  The
+function should set this variable to a POSIX error code if an error occurs.
+The function should store an \fBEINVAL\fR error code if the channel type
+does not implement seeking.
+.PP
+The return value is the new access point or -1 in case of error. If an
+error occurred, the function should not move the access point.
+
+.SH SETOPTIONPROC
+.PP
+The \fIsetOptionProc\fR field contains the address of a function called by
+the generic layer to set a channel type specific option on a channel.
+\fIsetOptionProc\fR must match the following prototype:
+.PP
+.CS
+typedef int Tcl_DriverSetOptionProc(
+	ClientData \fIinstanceData\fR,
+	Tcl_Interp *\fIinterp\fR,
+	char *\fIoptionName\fR,
+	char *\fIoptionValue\fR);
+.CE
+.PP
+\fIoptionName\fR is the name of an option to set, and \fIoptionValue\fR is
+the new value for that option, as a string. The \fIinstanceData\fR is the
+same as the value given to \fBTcl_CreateChannel\fR when this channel was
+created. The function should do whatever channel type specific action is
+required to implement the new value of the option.
+.PP
+Some options are handled by the generic code and this function is never
+called to set them, e.g. \fB-blockmode\fR. Other options are specific to
+each channel type and the \fIsetOptionProc\fR procedure of the channel
+driver will get called to implement them. The \fIsetOptionProc\fR field can
+be NULL, which indicates that this channel type supports no type specific
+options. 
+.PP
+If the option value is successfully modified to the new value, the function
+returns \fBTCL_OK\fR.
+.VS
+It should call \fBTcl_BadChannelOption\fR which itself returns
+\fBTCL_ERROR\fR if the \fIoptionName\fR is
+unrecognized. 
+.VE
+If \fIoptionValue\fR specifies a value for the option that
+is not supported or if a system call error occurs,
+the function should leave an error message in the
+\fIresult\fR field of \fIinterp\fR if \fIinterp\fR is not NULL. The
+function should also call \fBTcl_SetErrno\fR to store an appropriate POSIX
+error code.
+
+.SH GETOPTIONPROC
+.PP
+The \fIgetOptionProc\fR field contains the address of a function called by
+the generic layer to get the value of a channel type specific option on a
+channel. \fIgetOptionProc\fR must match the following prototype:
+.PP
+.CS
+typedef int Tcl_DriverGetOptionProc(
+	ClientData \fIinstanceData\fR,
+.VS
+	Tcl_Interp *\fIinterp\fR,
+.VE
+	char *\fIoptionName\fR,
+	Tcl_DString *\fIdsPtr\fR);
+.CE
+.PP
+\fIOptionName\fR is the name of an option supported by this type of
+channel. If the option name is not NULL, the function stores its current
+value, as a string, in the Tcl dynamic string \fIdsPtr\fR.
+If \fIoptionName\fR is NULL, the function stores in \fIdsPtr\fR an
+alternating list of all supported options and their current values.
+On success, the function returns \fBTCL_OK\fR. 
+.VS
+It should call \fBTcl_BadChannelOption\fR which itself returns
+\fBTCL_ERROR\fR if the \fIoptionName\fR is
+unrecognized. If a system call error occurs,
+the function should leave an error message in the
+\fIresult\fR field of \fIinterp\fR if \fIinterp\fR is not NULL. The
+function should also call \fBTcl_SetErrno\fR to store an appropriate POSIX
+error code.
+.VE
+.PP
+Some options are handled by the generic code and this function is never
+called to retrieve their value, e.g. \fB-blockmode\fR. Other options are
+specific to each channel type and the \fIgetOptionProc\fR procedure of the
+channel driver will get called to implement them. The \fIgetOptionProc\fR
+field can be NULL, which indicates that this channel type supports no type
+specific options.
+
+.SH WATCHPROC
+.VS
+.PP
+The \fIwatchProc\fR field contains the address of a function called
+by the generic layer to initialize the event notification mechanism to
+notice events of interest on this channel.
+\fIWatchProc\fR should match the following prototype:
+.PP
+.CS
+typedef void Tcl_DriverWatchProc(
+	ClientData \fIinstanceData\fR,
+	int \fImask\fR);
+.CE
+.VE
+.PP
+The \fIinstanceData\fR is the same as the value passed to
+\fBTcl_CreateChannel\fR when this channel was created. The \fImask\fR
+argument is an OR-ed combination of \fBTCL_READABLE\fR, \fBTCL_WRITABLE\fR
+and \fBTCL_EXCEPTION\fR; it indicates events the caller is interested in
+noticing on this channel.
+.PP
+.VS
+The function should initialize device type specific mechanisms to
+notice when an event of interest is present on the channel.  When one
+or more of the designated events occurs on the channel, the channel
+driver is responsible for calling \fBTcl_NotifyChannel\fR to inform
+the generic channel module.  The driver should take care not to starve
+other channel drivers or sources of callbacks by invoking
+Tcl_NotifyChannel too frequently.  Fairness can be insured by using
+the Tcl event queue to allow the channel event to be scheduled in sequence
+with other events.  See the description of \fBTcl_QueueEvent\fR for
+details on how to queue an event.
+
+.SH GETHANDLEPROC
+.PP
+The \fIgetHandleProc\fR field contains the address of a function called by
+the generic layer to retrieve a device-specific handle from the channel.
+\fIGetHandleProc\fR should match the following prototype:
+.PP
+.CS
+typedef int Tcl_DriverGetHandleProc(
+	ClientData \fIinstanceData\fR,
+	int \fIdirection\fR,
+	ClientData *\fIhandlePtr\fR);
+.CE
+.PP
+\fIInstanceData is the same as the value passed to
+\fBTcl_CreateChannel\fR when this channel was created. The \fIdirection\fR
+argument is either \fBTCL_READABLE\fR to retrieve the handle used
+for input, or \fBTCL_WRITABLE\fR to retrieve the handle used for
+output.
+.PP
+If the channel implementation has device-specific handles, the
+function should retrieve the appropriate handle associated with the
+channel, according the \fIdirection\fR argument.  The handle should be
+stored in the location referred to by \fIhandlePtr\fR, and
+\fBTCL_OK\fR should be returned.  If the channel is not open for the
+specified direction, or if the channel implementation does not use
+device handles, the function should return \fBTCL_ERROR\fR.
+.VE
+
+.VS
+.SH TCL_BADCHANNELOPTION
+.PP
+This procedure generates a "bad option" error message in an
+(optional) interpreter.  It is used by channel drivers when 
+a invalid Set/Get option is requested. Its purpose is to concatenate
+the generic options list to the specific ones and factorize
+the generic options error message string.
+.PP
+It always return \fBTCL_ERROR\fR
+.PP
+An error message is generated in interp's result object to
+indicate that a command was invoked with the a bad option
+The message has the form
+.CS
+    bad option "blah": should be one of 
+    <...generic options...>+<...specific options...>
+so you get for instance:
+    bad option "-blah": should be one of -blocking,
+    -buffering, -buffersize, -eofchar, -translation,
+    -peername, or -sockname
+when called with optionList="peername sockname"
+.CE
+"blah" is the optionName argument and "<specific options>"
+is a space separated list of specific option words.
+The function takes good care of inserting minus signs before
+each option, commas after, and an "or" before the last option.

+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+\fBTcl_CreateChannelHandler\fR arranges for \fIproc\fR to be called in the
+future whenever input or output becomes possible on the channel identified
+by \fIchannel\fR, or whenever an exceptional condition exists for
+\fIchannel\fR. The conditions of interest under which \fIproc\fR will be
+invoked are specified by the \fImask\fR argument.
+See the manual entry for \fBfileevent\fR for a precise description of
+what it means for a channel to be readable or writable.
+\fIProc\fR must conform to the following prototype:
+.CS
+typedef void Tcl_ChannelProc(
+	ClientData \fIclientData\fR,
+	int \fImask\fR);
+.CE
+.PP
+The \fIclientData\fR argument is the same as the value passed to
+\fBTcl_CreateChannelHandler\fR when the handler was created. Typically,
+\fIclientData\fR points to a data structure containing application-specific
+information about the channel. \fIMask\fR is an integer mask indicating
+which of the requested conditions actually exists for the channel; it will
+contain a subset of the bits from the \fImask\fR argument to
+\fBTcl_CreateChannelHandler\fR when the handler was created.
+.PP
+Each channel handler is identified by a unique combination of \fIchannel\fR,
+\fIproc\fR and \fIclientData\fR.
+There may be many handlers for a given channel as long as they don't
+have the same \fIchannel\fR, \fIproc\fR, and \fIclientData\fR.
+If \fBTcl_CreateChannelHandler\fR is invoked when there is already a handler
+for \fIchannel\fR, \fIproc\fR, and \fIclientData\fR, then no new
+handler is created;  instead, the \fImask\fR is changed for the
+existing handler.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_DeleteChannelHandler\fR deletes a channel handler identified by
+\fIchannel\fR, \fIproc\fR and \fIclientData\fR; if no such handler exists,
+the call has no effect.
+.PP
+Channel handlers are invoked via the Tcl event mechanism, so they
+are only useful in applications that are event-driven.
+Note also that the conditions specified in the \fImask\fR argument
+to \fIproc\fR may no longer exist when \fIproc\fR is invoked:  for
+example, if there are two handlers for \fBTCL_READABLE\fR on the same
+channel, the first handler could consume all of the available input
+so that the channel is no longer readable when the second handler
+is invoked.
+For this reason it may be useful to use nonblocking I/O on channels
+for which there are event handlers.

+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+\fBTcl_CreateCommand\fR defines a new command in \fIinterp\fR and associates
+it with procedure \fIproc\fR such that whenever \fIcmdName\fR is
+invoked as a Tcl command (via a call to \fBTcl_Eval\fR) the Tcl interpreter
+will call \fIproc\fR to process the command.
+It differs from \fBTcl_CreateObjCommand\fR in that a new string-based
+command is defined;
+that is, a command procedure is defined that takes an array of
+argument strings instead of objects.
+The object-based command procedures registered by \fBTcl_CreateObjCommand\fR
+can execute significantly faster than the string-based command procedures
+defined by \fBTcl_CreateCommand\fR.
+This is because they take Tcl objects as arguments
+and those objects can retain an internal representation that
+can be manipulated more efficiently.
+Also, Tcl's interpreter now uses objects internally.
+In order to invoke a string-based command procedure
+registered by \fBTcl_CreateCommand\fR,
+it must generate and fetch a string representation
+from each argument object before the call
+and create a new Tcl object to hold the string result returned by the
+string-based command procedure.
+New commands should be defined using \fBTcl_CreateObjCommand\fR.
+We support \fBTcl_CreateCommand\fR for backwards compatibility.
+.PP
+The procedures \fBTcl_DeleteCommand\fR, \fBTcl_GetCommandInfo\fR,
+and \fBTcl_SetCommandInfo\fR are used in conjunction with
+\fBTcl_CreateCommand\fR.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_CreateCommand\fR will delete an existing command \fIcmdName\fR,
+if one is already associated with the interpreter.
+It returns a token that may be used to refer
+to the command in subsequent calls to \fBTcl_GetCommandName\fR.
+If \fIcmdName\fR contains any \fB::\fR namespace qualifiers,
+then the command is added to the specified namespace;
+otherwise the command is added to the global namespace.
+If \fBTcl_CreateCommand\fR is called for an interpreter that is in
+the process of being deleted, then it does not create a new command
+and it returns NULL.
+\fIProc\fR should have arguments and result that match the type
+\fBTcl_CmdProc\fR:
+.CS
+typedef int Tcl_CmdProc(
+	ClientData \fIclientData\fR,
+	Tcl_Interp *\fIinterp\fR,
+	int \fIargc\fR,
+	char *\fIargv\fR[]);
+.CE
+When \fIproc\fR is invoked the \fIclientData\fR and \fIinterp\fR
+parameters will be copies of the \fIclientData\fR and \fIinterp\fR
+arguments given to \fBTcl_CreateCommand\fR.
+Typically, \fIclientData\fR points to an application-specific
+data structure that describes what to do when the command procedure
+is invoked.  \fIArgc\fR and \fIargv\fR describe the arguments to
+the command, \fIargc\fR giving the number of arguments (including
+the command name) and \fIargv\fR giving the values of the arguments
+as strings.  The \fIargv\fR array will contain \fIargc\fR+1 values;
+the first \fIargc\fR values point to the argument strings, and the
+last value is NULL.
+.PP
+\fIProc\fR must return an integer code that is either \fBTCL_OK\fR, \fBTCL_ERROR\fR,
+\fBTCL_RETURN\fR, \fBTCL_BREAK\fR, or \fBTCL_CONTINUE\fR.  See the Tcl overview man page
+for details on what these codes mean.  Most normal commands will only
+return \fBTCL_OK\fR or \fBTCL_ERROR\fR.  In addition, \fIproc\fR must set
+the interpreter result to point to a string value;
+in the case of a \fBTCL_OK\fR return code this gives the result
+of the command, and in the case of \fBTCL_ERROR\fR it gives an error message.
+The \fBTcl_SetResult\fR procedure provides an easy interface for setting
+the return value;  for complete details on how the the interpreter result
+field is managed, see the \fBTcl_Interp\fR man page.
+Before invoking a command procedure,
+\fBTcl_Eval\fR sets the interpreter result to point to an empty string,
+so simple commands can return an empty result by doing nothing at all.
+.PP
+The contents of the \fIargv\fR array belong to Tcl and are not
+guaranteed to persist once \fIproc\fR returns:  \fIproc\fR should
+not modify them, nor should it set the interpreter result to point

+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+.VS
+\fBTcl_CreateFileHandler\fR arranges for \fIproc\fR to be
+invoked in the future whenever I/O becomes possible on a file
+or an exceptional condition exists for the file.  The file
+is indicated by \fIfd\fR, and the conditions of interest
+.VE
+are indicated by \fImask\fR.  For example, if \fImask\fR
+is \fBTCL_READABLE\fR, \fIproc\fR will be called when
+the file is readable.
+The callback to \fIproc\fR is made by \fBTcl_DoOneEvent\fR, so
+\fBTcl_CreateFileHandler\fR is only useful in programs that dispatch
+events through \fBTcl_DoOneEvent\fR or through Tcl commands such
+as \fBvwait\fR.
+.PP
+\fIProc\fR should have arguments and result that match the
+type \fBTcl_FileProc\fR:
+.CS
+typedef void Tcl_FileProc(
+	ClientData \fIclientData\fR,
+	int \fImask\fR);
+.CE
+The \fIclientData\fR parameter to \fIproc\fR is a copy
+of the \fIclientData\fR
+argument given to \fBTcl_CreateFileHandler\fR when the callback
+was created.  Typically, \fIclientData\fR points to a data
+structure containing application-specific information about
+the file.  \fIMask\fR is an integer mask indicating which
+of the requested conditions actually exists for the file;  it
+will contain a subset of the bits in the \fImask\fR argument
+to \fBTcl_CreateFileHandler\fR.
+.PP
+.PP
+There may exist only one handler for a given file at a given time.
+If \fBTcl_CreateFileHandler\fR is called when a handler already
+exists for \fIfd\fR, then the new callback replaces the information
+that was previously recorded.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_DeleteFileHandler\fR may be called to delete the
+file handler for \fIfd\fR;  if no handler exists for the
+file given by \fIfd\fR then the procedure has no effect.
+.PP
+The purpose of file handlers is to enable an application to respond to
+events while waiting for files to become ready for I/O.  For this to work
+correctly, the application may need to use non-blocking I/O operations on
+the files for which handlers are declared.  Otherwise the application may
+block if it reads or writes too much data; while waiting for the I/O to
+complete the application won't be able to service other events. Use
+\fBTcl_SetChannelOption\fR with \fB\-blocking\fR to set the channel into
+blocking or nonblocking mode as required.
+.PP
+.VS
+Note that these interfaces are only supported by the Unix
+implementation of the Tcl notifier.

+.SH ARGUMENTS

+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+\fBTcl_CreateInterp\fR creates a new interpreter structure and returns
+a token for it.  The token is required in calls to most other Tcl
+procedures, such as \fBTcl_CreateCommand\fR, \fBTcl_Eval\fR, and
+\fBTcl_DeleteInterp\fR.
+Clients are only allowed to access a few of the fields of
+Tcl_Interp structures;  see the Tcl_Interp
+and \fBTcl_CreateCommand\fR man pages for details.
+The new interpreter is initialized with no defined variables and only
+the built-in Tcl commands.  To bind in additional commands, call
+\fBTcl_CreateCommand\fR.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_DeleteInterp\fR marks an interpreter as deleted; the interpreter
+will eventually be deleted when all calls to \fBTcl_Preserve\fR for it have
+been matched by calls to \fBTcl_Release\fR. At that time, all of the
+resources associated with it, including variables, procedures, and
+application-specific command bindings, will be deleted.  After
+\fBTcl_DeleteInterp\fR returns any attempt to use \fBTcl_Eval\fR on the
+interpreter will fail and return \fBTCL_ERROR\fR. After the call to
+\fBTcl_DeleteInterp\fR it is safe to examine \fIinterp->result\fR, query or
+set the values of variables, define, undefine or retrieve procedures, and
+examine the runtime evaluation stack. See below, in the section
+\fBINTERPRETERS AND MEMORY MANAGEMENT\fR for details.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_InterpDeleted\fR returns nonzero if \fBTcl_DeleteInterp\fR was
+called with \fIinterp\fR as its argument; this indicates that the
+interpreter will eventually be deleted, when the last call to
+\fBTcl_Preserve\fR for it is matched by a call to \fBTcl_Release\fR. If
+nonzero is returned, further calls to \fBTcl_Eval\fR in this interpreter
+will return \fBTCL_ERROR\fR.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_InterpDeleted\fR is useful in deletion callbacks to distinguish
+between when only the memory the callback is responsible for is being
+deleted and when the whole interpreter is being deleted. In the former case
+the callback may recreate the data being deleted, but this would lead to an
+infinite loop if the interpreter were being deleted.
+
+.SH "INTERPRETERS AND MEMORY MANAGEMENT"
+.PP
+\fBTcl_DeleteInterp\fR can be called at any time on an interpreter that may
+be used by nested evaluations and C code in various extensions. Tcl
+implements a simple mechanism that allows callers to use interpreters
+without worrying about the interpreter being deleted in a nested call, and
+without requiring special code to protect the interpreter, in most cases.
+This mechanism ensures that nested uses of an interpreter can safely
+continue using it even after \fBTcl_DeleteInterp\fR is called.
+.PP
+The mechanism relies on matching up calls to \fBTcl_Preserve\fR with calls
+to \fBTcl_Release\fR. If \fBTcl_DeleteInterp\fR has been called, only when
+the last call to \fBTcl_Preserve\fR is matched by a call to
+\fBTcl_Release\fR, will the interpreter be freed. See the manual entry for
+\fBTcl_Preserve\fR for a description of these functions.
+.PP
+The rules for when the user of an interpreter must call \fBTcl_Preserve\fR
+and \fBTcl_Release\fR are simple:
+.TP
+Interpreters Passed As Arguments
+Functions that are passed an interpreter as an argument can safely use the
+interpreter without any special protection. Thus, when you write an
+extension consisting of new Tcl commands, no special code is needed to
+protect interpreters received as arguments. This covers the majority of all
+uses.
+.TP
+Interpreter Creation And Deletion
+When a new interpreter is created and used in a call to \fBTcl_Eval\fR,
+\fBTcl_VarEval\fR, \fBTcl_GlobalEval\fR, \fBTcl_SetVar\fR, or
+\fBTcl_GetVar\fR, a pair of calls to \fBTcl_Preserve\fR and
+\fBTcl_Release\fR should be wrapped around all uses of the interpreter.
+Remember that it is unsafe to use the interpreter once \fBTcl_Release\fR
+has been called. To ensure that the interpreter is properly deleted when
+it is no longer needed, call \fBTcl_InterpDeleted\fR to test if some other
+code already called \fBTcl_DeleteInterp\fR; if not, call
+\fBTcl_DeleteInterp\fR before calling \fBTcl_Release\fR in your own code.
+Do not call \fBTcl_DeleteInterp\fR on an interpreter for which
+\fBTcl_InterpDeleted\fR returns nonzero.
+.TP
+Retrieving An Interpreter From A Data Structure
+When an interpreter is retrieved from a data structure (e.g. the client
+data of a callback) for use in \fBTcl_Eval\fR, \fBTcl_VarEval\fR,
+\fBTcl_GlobalEval\fR, \fBTcl_SetVar\fR, or \fBTcl_GetVar\fR, a pair of
+calls to \fBTcl_Preserve\fR and \fBTcl_Release\fR should be wrapped around
+all uses of the interpreter; it is unsafe to reuse the interpreter once
+\fBTcl_Release\fR has been called.  If an interpreter is stored inside a
+callback data structure, an appropriate deletion cleanup mechanism should
+be set up by the code that creates the data structure so that the
+interpreter is removed from the data structure (e.g. by setting the field
+to NULL) when the interpreter is deleted. Otherwise, you may be using an
+interpreter that has been freed and whose memory may already have been
+reused.
+.PP
+All uses of interpreters in Tcl and Tk have already been protected.
+Extension writers should ensure that their code also properly protects any
+additional interpreters used, as described above.

+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+Tcl allows a number of mathematical functions to be used in
+expressions, such as \fBsin\fR, \fBcos\fR, and \fBhypot\fR.
+\fBTcl_CreateMathFunc\fR allows applications to add additional functions
+to those already provided by Tcl or to replace existing functions.
+\fIName\fR is the name of the function as it will appear in expressions.
+If \fIname\fR doesn't already exist as a function then a new function
+is created.  If it does exist, then the existing function is replaced.
+\fINumArgs\fR and \fIargTypes\fR describe the arguments to the function.
+Each entry in the \fIargTypes\fR array must be either TCL_INT, TCL_DOUBLE,
+or TCL_EITHER to indicate whether the corresponding argument must be an
+integer, a double-precision floating value, or either, respectively.
+.PP
+Whenever the function is invoked in an expression Tcl will invoke
+\fIproc\fR.  \fIProc\fR should have arguments and result that match
+the type \fBTcl_MathProc\fR:
+.CS
+typedef int Tcl_MathProc(
+	ClientData \fIclientData\fR,
+	Tcl_Interp *\fIinterp\fR,
+	Tcl_Value *\fIargs\fR,
+	Tcl_Value *\fIresultPtr\fR);
+.CE
+.PP
+When \fIproc\fR is invoked the \fIclientData\fR and \fIinterp\fR
+arguments will be the same as those passed to \fBTcl_CreateMathFunc\fR.
+\fIArgs\fR will point to an array of \fInumArgs\fR Tcl_Value structures,
+which describe the actual arguments to the function:
+.CS
+typedef struct Tcl_Value {
+	Tcl_ValueType \fItype\fR;
+	long \fIintValue\fR;
+	double \fIdoubleValue\fR;
+} Tcl_Value;
+.CE
+.PP
+The \fItype\fR field indicates the type of the argument and is
+either TCL_INT or TCL_DOUBLE.
+It will match the \fIargTypes\fR value specified for the function unless
+the \fIargTypes\fR value was TCL_EITHER. Tcl converts
+the argument supplied in the expression to the type requested in
+\fIargTypes\fR, if that is necessary.
+Depending on the value of the \fItype\fR field, the \fIintValue\fR
+or \fIdoubleValue\fR field will contain the actual value of the argument.
+.PP
+\fIProc\fR should compute its result and store it either as an integer
+in \fIresultPtr->intValue\fR or as a floating value in
+\fIresultPtr->doubleValue\fR.
+It should set also \fIresultPtr->type\fR to either TCL_INT or TCL_DOUBLE
+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 \fIinterp->result\fR.

+.BE
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+\fBTcl_CreateObjCommand\fR defines a new command in \fIinterp\fR
+and associates it with procedure \fIproc\fR
+such that whenever \fIname\fR is
+invoked as a Tcl command (e.g., via a call to \fBTcl_EvalObj\fR)
+the Tcl interpreter will call \fIproc\fR to process the command.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_CreateObjCommand\fR will delete any command \fIname\fR
+already associated with the interpreter.
+It returns a token that may be used to refer
+to the command in subsequent calls to \fBTcl_GetCommandName\fR.
+If \fIname\fR contains any \fB::\fR namespace qualifiers,
+then the command is added to the specified namespace;
+otherwise the command is added to the global namespace.
+If \fBTcl_CreateObjCommand\fR is called for an interpreter that is in
+the process of being deleted, then it does not create a new command
+and it returns NULL.
+\fIproc\fR should have arguments and result that match the type
+\fBTcl_ObjCmdProc\fR:
+.CS
+typedef int Tcl_ObjCmdProc(
+	ClientData \fIclientData\fR,
+	Tcl_Interp *\fIinterp\fR,
+	int \fIobjc\fR,
+.VS
+	Tcl_Obj *CONST \fIobjv\fR[]);
+.CE
+When \fIproc\fR is invoked, the \fIclientData\fR and \fIinterp\fR parameters
+will be copies of the \fIclientData\fR and \fIinterp\fR arguments given to
+\fBTcl_CreateObjCommand\fR.  Typically, \fIclientData\fR points to an
+application-specific data structure that describes what to do when the
+command procedure is invoked. \fIObjc\fR and \fIobjv\fR describe the
+arguments to the command, \fIobjc\fR giving the number of argument objects
+(including the command name) and \fIobjv\fR giving the values of the
+arguments.  The \fIobjv\fR array will contain \fIobjc\fR values, pointing to
+the argument objects.  Unlike \fIargv\fR[\fIargv\fR] used in a
+string-based command procedure, \fIobjv\fR[\fIobjc\fR] will not contain NULL.
+.PP
+Additionally, when \fIproc\fR is invoked, it must not modify the contents
+of the \fIobjv\fR array by assigning new pointer values to any element of the
+array (for example, \fIobjv\fR[\fB2\fR] = \fBNULL\fR) because this will
+cause memory to be lost and the runtime stack to be corrupted.  The
+\fBCONST\fR in the declaration of \fIobjv\fR will cause ANSI-compliant
+compilers to report any such attempted assignment as an error.  However,
+it is acceptable to modify the internal representation of any individual
+object argument.  For instance, the user may call
+\fBTcl_GetIntFromObject\fR on \fIobjv\fR[\fB2\fR] to obtain the integer
+representation of that object; that call may change the type of the object
+that \fIobjv\fR[\fB2\fR] points at, but will not change where
+\fIobjv\fR[\fB2\fR] points.
+.VE
+.PP
+\fIproc\fR must return an integer code that is either \fBTCL_OK\fR,
+\fBTCL_ERROR\fR, \fBTCL_RETURN\fR, \fBTCL_BREAK\fR, or \fBTCL_CONTINUE\fR.
+See the Tcl overview man page
+for details on what these codes mean.  Most normal commands will only
+return \fBTCL_OK\fR or \fBTCL_ERROR\fR.
+In addition, if \fIproc\fR needs to return a non-empty result,
+it can call \fBTcl_SetObjResult\fR to set the interpreter's result.
+In the case of a \fBTCL_OK\fR return code this gives the result
+of the command,
+and in the case of \fBTCL_ERROR\fR this gives an error message.
+Before invoking a command procedure,
+\fBTcl_EvalObj\fR sets interpreter's result to
+point to an object representing an empty string, so simple
+commands can return an empty result by doing nothing at all.
+.PP
+The contents of the \fIobjv\fR array belong to Tcl and are not
+guaranteed to persist once \fIproc\fR returns: \fIproc\fR should
+not modify them.
+Call \fBTcl_SetObjResult\fR if you want
+to return something from the \fIobjv\fR array.
+.PP
+\fIDeleteProc\fR will be invoked when (if) \fIname\fR is deleted.
+This can occur through a call to \fBTcl_DeleteCommand\fR,
+\fBTcl_DeleteCommandFromToken\fR, or \fBTcl_DeleteInterp\fR,
+or by replacing \fIname\fR in another call to \fBTcl_CreateObjCommand\fR.
+\fIDeleteProc\fR is invoked before the command is deleted, and gives the
+application an opportunity to release any structures associated
+with the command.  \fIDeleteProc\fR should have arguments and
+result that match the type \fBTcl_CmdDeleteProc\fR:
+.CS
+typedef void Tcl_CmdDeleteProc(ClientData \fIclientData\fR);
+.CE
+The \fIclientData\fR argument will be the same as the \fIclientData\fR
+argument passed to \fBTcl_CreateObjCommand\fR.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_DeleteCommand\fR deletes a command from a command interpreter.
+Once the call completes, attempts to invoke \fIcmdName\fR in
+\fIinterp\fR will result in errors.
+If \fIcmdName\fR isn't bound as a command in \fIinterp\fR then
+\fBTcl_DeleteCommand\fR does nothing and returns -1;  otherwise
+it returns 0.
+There are no restrictions on \fIcmdName\fR:  it may refer to
+a built-in command, an application-specific command, or a Tcl procedure.
+If \fIname\fR contains any \fB::\fR namespace qualifiers,
+the command is deleted from the specified namespace.
+.PP
+Given a token returned by \fBTcl_CreateObjCommand\fR,
+\fBTcl_DeleteCommandFromToken\fR deletes the command
+from a command interpreter.
+It will delete a command even if that command has been renamed.
+Once the call completes, attempts to invoke the command in
+\fIinterp\fR will result in errors.
+If the command corresponding to \fItoken\fR
+has already been deleted from \fIinterp\fR then
+\fBTcl_DeleteCommand\fR does nothing and returns -1;
+otherwise it returns 0.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_GetCommandInfo\fR checks to see whether its \fIcmdName\fR argument
+exists as a command in \fIinterp\fR.
+\fIcmdName\fR may include \fB::\fR namespace qualifiers
+to identify a command in a particular namespace.
+If the command is not found, then it returns 0.
+Otherwise it places information about the command
+in the \fBTcl_CmdInfo\fR structure
+pointed to by \fIinfoPtr\fR and returns 1.
+A \fBTcl_CmdInfo\fR structure has the following fields:
+.CS
+typedef struct Tcl_CmdInfo {
+    int isNativeObjectProc;
+    Tcl_ObjCmdProc *objProc;
+    ClientData objClientData;
+    Tcl_CmdProc *proc;
+    ClientData clientData;
+    Tcl_CmdDeleteProc *deleteProc;
+    ClientData deleteData;
+    Tcl_Namespace *namespacePtr;
+} Tcl_CmdInfo;
+.CE
+The \fIisNativeObjectProc\fR field has the value 1
+if \fBTcl_CreateObjCommand\fR was called to register the command;
+it is 0 if only \fBTcl_CreateCommand\fR was called.
+It allows a program to determine whether it is faster to
+call \fIobjProc\fR or \fIproc\fR:
+\fIobjProc\fR is normally faster
+if \fIisNativeObjectProc\fR has the value 1.
+The fields \fIobjProc\fR and \fIobjClientData\fR
+have the same meaning as the \fIproc\fR and \fIclientData\fR
+arguments to \fBTcl_CreateObjCommand\fR;
+they hold information about the object-based command procedure
+that the Tcl interpreter calls to implement the command.
+The fields \fIproc\fR and \fIclientData\fR
+hold information about the string-based command procedure
+that implements the command.
+If \fBTcl_CreateCommand\fR was called for this command,
+this is the procedure passed to it;
+otherwise, this is a compatibility procedure
+registered by \fBTcl_CreateObjCommand\fR
+that simply calls the command's
+object-based procedure after converting its string arguments to Tcl objects.
+The field \fIdeleteData\fR is the ClientData value
+to pass to \fIdeleteProc\fR;  it is normally the same as
+\fIclientData\fR but may be set independently using the
+\fBTcl_SetCommandInfo\fR procedure.
+The field \fInamespacePtr\fR holds a pointer to the
+Tcl_Namespace that contains the command.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_SetCommandInfo\fR is used to modify the procedures and
+ClientData values associated with a command.
+Its \fIcmdName\fR argument is the name of a command in \fIinterp\fR.
+\fIcmdName\fR may include \fB::\fR namespace qualifiers
+to identify a command in a particular namespace.
+If this command does not exist then \fBTcl_SetCommandInfo\fR returns 0.
+Otherwise, it copies the information from \fI*infoPtr\fR to
+Tcl's internal structure for the command and returns 1.
+Note that this procedure allows the ClientData for a command's
+deletion procedure to be given a different value than the ClientData
+for its command procedure.
+Note that \fBTcl_SetCmdInfo\fR will not change a command's namespace;
+you must use \fBTcl_RenameCommand\fR to do that.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_GetCommandName\fR provides a mechanism for tracking commands
+that have been renamed.
+Given a token returned by \fBTcl_CreateObjCommand\fR
+when the command was created, \fBTcl_GetCommandName\fR returns the
+string name of the command.  If the command has been renamed since it
+was created, then \fBTcl_GetCommandName\fR returns the current name.
+This name does not include any \fB::\fR namespace qualifiers.
+The command corresponding to \fItoken\fR must not have been deleted.
+The string returned by \fBTcl_GetCommandName\fR is in dynamic memory
+owned by Tcl and is only guaranteed to retain its value as long as the
+command isn't deleted or renamed;  callers should copy the string if
+they need to keep it for a long time.

+.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.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+\fBTcl_CreateTimerHandler\fR arranges for \fIproc\fR to be
+invoked at a time \fImilliseconds\fR milliseconds in the
+future.
+The callback to \fIproc\fR will be made by \fBTcl_DoOneEvent\fR,
+so \fBTcl_CreateTimerHandler\fR is only useful in programs that
+dispatch events through \fBTcl_DoOneEvent\fR or through Tcl commands
+such as \fBvwait\fR.
+The call to \fIproc\fR may not be made at the exact time given by
+\fImilliseconds\fR:  it will be made at the next opportunity
+after that time.  For example, if \fBTcl_DoOneEvent\fR isn't
+called until long after the time has elapsed, or if there
+are other pending events to process before the call to
+\fIproc\fR, then the call to \fIproc\fR will be delayed.
+.PP
+\fIProc\fR should have arguments and return value that match
+the type \fBTcl_TimerProc\fR:
+.CS
+typedef void Tcl_TimerProc(ClientData \fIclientData\fR);
+.CE
+The \fIclientData\fR parameter to \fIproc\fR is a
+copy of the \fIclientData\fR argument given to
+\fBTcl_CreateTimerHandler\fR when the callback
+was created.  Typically, \fIclientData\fR points to a data
+structure containing application-specific information about
+what to do in \fIproc\fR.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_DeleteTimerHandler\fR may be called to delete a
+previously-created timer handler.  It deletes the handler
+indicated by \fItoken\fR so that no call to \fIproc\fR
+will be made;  if that handler no longer exists
+(e.g. because the time period has already elapsed and \fIproc\fR
+has been invoked then \fBTcl_DeleteTimerHandler\fR does nothing.
+The tokens returned by \fBTcl_CreateTimerHandler\fR never have
+a value of NULL, so if NULL is passed to \fBTcl_DeleteTimerHandler\fR
+then the procedure does nothing.

+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+\fBTcl_CreateTrace\fR arranges for command tracing.  From now on, \fIproc\fR
+will be invoked before Tcl calls command procedures to process
+commands in \fIinterp\fR.  The return value from
+\fBTcl_CreateTrace\fR is a token for the trace,
+which may be passed to \fBTcl_DeleteTrace\fR to remove the trace.  There may
+be many traces in effect simultaneously for the same command interpreter.
+.PP
+\fIProc\fR should have arguments and result that match the
+type \fBTcl_CmdTraceProc\fR:
+.CS
+typedef void Tcl_CmdTraceProc(
+	ClientData \fIclientData\fR,
+	Tcl_Interp *\fIinterp\fR,
+	int \fIlevel\fR,
+	char *\fIcommand\fR,
+	Tcl_CmdProc *\fIcmdProc\fR,
+	ClientData \fIcmdClientData\fR,
+	int \fIargc\fR,
+	char *\fIargv\fR[]);
+.CE
+The \fIclientData\fR and \fIinterp\fR parameters are
+copies of the corresponding arguments given to \fBTcl_CreateTrace\fR.
+\fIClientData\fR typically points to an application-specific
+data structure that describes what to do when \fIproc\fR
+is invoked.  \fILevel\fR gives the nesting level of the command
+(1 for top-level commands passed to \fBTcl_Eval\fR by the application,
+2 for the next-level commands passed to \fBTcl_Eval\fR as part of parsing
+or interpreting level-1 commands, and so on).  \fICommand\fR
+points to a string containing the text of the
+command, before any argument substitution.
+\fICmdProc\fR contains the address of the command procedure that
+will be called to process the command (i.e. the \fIproc\fR argument
+of some previous call to \fBTcl_CreateCommand\fR) and \fIcmdClientData\fR
+contains the associated client data for \fIcmdProc\fR (the \fIclientData\fR
+value passed to \fBTcl_CreateCommand\fR).  \fIArgc\fR and \fIargv\fR give
+the final argument information that will be passed to \fIcmdProc\fR, after
+command, variable, and backslash substitution.
+\fIProc\fR must not modify the \fIcommand\fR or \fIargv\fR strings.
+.PP
+Tracing will only occur for commands at nesting level less than
+or equal to the \fIlevel\fR parameter (i.e. the \fIlevel\fR
+parameter to \fIproc\fR will always be less than or equal to the
+\fIlevel\fR parameter to \fBTcl_CreateTrace\fR).
+.PP
+Calls to \fIproc\fR will be made by the Tcl parser immediately before
+it calls the command procedure for the command (\fIcmdProc\fR).  This
+occurs after argument parsing and substitution, so tracing for
+substituted commands occurs before tracing of the commands
+containing the substitutions.  If there is a syntax error in a
+command, or if there is no command procedure associated with a
+command name, then no tracing will occur for that command.  If a
+string passed to Tcl_Eval contains multiple commands (bracketed, or
+on different lines) then multiple calls to \fIproc\fR will occur,
+one for each command.  The \fIcommand\fR string for each of these
+trace calls will reflect only a single command, not the entire string
+passed to Tcl_Eval.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_DeleteTrace\fR removes a trace, so that no future calls will be
+made to the procedure associated with the trace.  After \fBTcl_DeleteTrace\fR
+returns, the caller should never again use the \fItrace\fR token.

+.PP
+Dynamic strings provide a mechanism for building up arbitrarily long
+strings by gradually appending information.  If the dynamic string is
+short then there will be no memory allocation overhead;  as the string
+gets larger, additional space will be allocated as needed.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_DStringInit\fR initializes a dynamic string to zero length.
+The Tcl_DString structure must have been allocated by the caller.
+No assumptions are made about the current state of the structure;
+anything already in it is discarded.
+If the structure has been used previously, \fBTcl_DStringFree\fR should
+be called first to free up any memory allocated for the old
+string.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_DStringAppend\fR adds new information to a dynamic string,
+allocating more memory for the string if needed.
+If \fIlength\fR is less than zero then everything in \fIstring\fR
+is appended to the dynamic string;  otherwise \fIlength\fR
+specifies the number of bytes to append.
+\fBTcl_DStringAppend\fR returns a pointer to the characters of
+the new string.  The string can also be retrieved from the
+\fIstring\fR field of the Tcl_DString structure.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_DStringAppendElement\fR is similar to \fBTcl_DStringAppend\fR
+except that it doesn't take a \fIlength\fR argument (it appends
+all of \fIstring\fR) and it converts the string to a proper list element
+before appending.
+\fBTcl_DStringAppendElement\fR adds a separator space before the
+new list element unless the new list element is the first in a
+list or sub-list (i.e. either the current string is empty, or it
+contains the single character ``{'', or the last two characters of
+the current string are `` {'').
+\fBTcl_DStringAppendElement\fR returns a pointer to the
+characters of the new string.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_DStringStartSublist\fR and \fBTcl_DStringEndSublist\fR can be
+used to create nested lists.
+To append a list element that is itself a sublist, first
+call \fBTcl_DStringStartSublist\fR, then call \fBTcl_DStringAppendElement\fR
+for each of the elements in the sublist, then call
+\fBTcl_DStringEndSublist\fR to end the sublist.
+\fBTcl_DStringStartSublist\fR appends a space character if needed,
+followed by an open brace;  \fBTcl_DStringEndSublist\fR appends
+a close brace.
+Lists can be nested to any depth.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_DStringLength\fR is a macro that returns the current length
+of a dynamic string (not including the terminating null character).
+\fBTcl_DStringValue\fR is a  macro that returns a pointer to the
+current contents of a dynamic string.
+.PP
+.PP
+\fBTcl_DStringSetLength\fR changes the length of a dynamic string.
+If \fInewLength\fR is less than the string's current length, then
+the string is truncated.
+If \fInewLength\fR is greater than the string's current length,
+then the string will become longer and new space will be allocated
+for the string if needed.
+However, \fBTcl_DStringSetLength\fR will not initialize the new
+space except to provide a terminating null character;  it is up to the
+caller to fill in the new space.
+\fBTcl_DStringSetLength\fR does not free up the string's storage space
+even if the string is truncated to zero length, so \fBTcl_DStringFree\fR
+will still need to be called.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_DStringFree\fR should be called when you're finished using
+the string.  It frees up any memory that was allocated for the string
+and reinitializes the string's value to an empty string.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_DStringResult\fR sets the result of \fIinterp\fR to the value of
+the dynamic string given by \fIdsPtr\fR.  It does this by moving
+a pointer from \fIdsPtr\fR to \fIinterp->result\fR.
+This saves the cost of allocating new memory and copying the string.
+\fBTcl_DStringResult\fR also reinitializes the dynamic string to
+an empty string.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_DStringGetResult\fR does the opposite of \fBTcl_DStringResult\fR.
+It sets the value of \fIdsPtr\fR to the result of \fIinterp\fR and
+it clears \fIinterp\fR's result.
+If possible it does this by moving a pointer rather than by copying
+the string.

+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+\fBTcl_DetachPids\fR and \fBTcl_ReapDetachedProcs\fR provide a
+mechanism for managing subprocesses that are running in background.
+These procedures are needed because the parent of a process must
+eventually invoke the \fBwaitpid\fR kernel call (or one of a few other
+similar kernel calls) to wait for the child to exit.  Until the
+parent waits for the child, the child's state cannot be completely
+reclaimed by the system.  If a parent continually creates children
+and doesn't wait on them, the system's process table will eventually
+overflow, even if all the children have exited.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_DetachPids\fR may be called to ask Tcl to take responsibility
+for one or more processes whose process ids are contained in the
+\fIpidPtr\fR array passed as argument.  The caller presumably
+has started these processes running in background and doesn't
+want to have to deal with them again.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_ReapDetachedProcs\fR invokes the \fBwaitpid\fR kernel call
+on each of the background processes so that its state can be cleaned
+up if it has exited.  If the process hasn't exited yet,
+\fBTcl_ReapDetachedProcs\fR doesn't wait for it to exit;  it will check again
+the next time it is invoked.
+Tcl automatically calls \fBTcl_ReapDetachedProcs\fR each time the
+\fBexec\fR command is executed, so in most cases it isn't necessary
+for any code outside of Tcl to invoke \fBTcl_ReapDetachedProcs\fR.
+However, if you call \fBTcl_DetachPids\fR in situations where the
+\fBexec\fR command may never get executed, you may wish to call
+\fBTcl_ReapDetachedProcs\fR from time to time so that background
+processes can be cleaned up.

+\fBTcl_DoOneEvent\fR(\fIflags\fR)
+.SH ARGUMENTS
+.AS int flags
+.AP int flags in
+This parameter is normally zero.  It may be an OR-ed combination
+of any of the following flag bits:  
+TCL_WINDOW_EVENTS,
+TCL_FILE_EVENTS, TCL_TIMER_EVENTS, TCL_IDLE_EVENTS, TCL_ALL_EVENTS, or
+TCL_DONT_WAIT.
+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+This procedure is the entry point to Tcl's event loop; it is responsible for
+waiting for events and dispatching event handlers created with
+procedures such as \fBTk_CreateEventHandler\fR, \fBTcl_CreateFileHandler\fR,
+\fBTcl_CreateTimerHandler\fR, and \fBTcl_DoWhenIdle\fR.
+\fBTcl_DoOneEvent\fR checks to see if
+events are already present on the Tcl event queue; if so,
+it calls the handler(s) for the first (oldest) event, removes it from
+the queue, and returns.
+If there are no events ready to be handled, then \fBTcl_DoOneEvent\fR
+checks for new events from all possible sources.
+If any are found, it puts all of them on Tcl's event queue, calls
+handlers for the first event on the queue, and returns.
+If no events are found, \fBTcl_DoOneEvent\fR checks for \fBTcl_DoWhenIdle\fR
+callbacks; if any are found, it invokes all of them and returns.
+Finally, if no events or idle callbacks have been found, then
+\fBTcl_DoOneEvent\fR sleeps until an event occurs; then it adds any 
+new events to the Tcl event queue, calls handlers for the first event,
+and returns.
+The normal return value is 1 to signify that some event
+was processed (see below for other alternatives).
+.PP
+If the \fIflags\fR argument to \fBTcl_DoOneEvent\fR is non-zero,
+it restricts the kinds of events that will be processed by
+\fBTcl_DoOneEvent\fR.
+\fIFlags\fR may be an OR-ed combination of any of the following bits:
+.TP 27
+\fBTCL_WINDOW_EVENTS\fR \-
+Process window system events.
+.TP 27
+\fBTCL_FILE_EVENTS\fR \-
+Process file events.
+.TP 27
+\fBTCL_TIMER_EVENTS\fR \-
+Process timer events.
+.TP 27
+\fBTCL_IDLE_EVENTS\fR \-
+Process idle callbacks.
+.TP 27
+\fBTCL_ALL_EVENTS\fR \-
+Process all kinds of events:  equivalent to OR-ing together all of the
+above flags or specifying none of them.
+.TP 27
+\fBTCL_DONT_WAIT\fR \-
+Don't sleep:  process only events that are ready at the time of the
+call.
+.LP
+If any of the flags \fBTCL_WINDOW_EVENTS\fR, \fBTCL_FILE_EVENTS\fR,
+\fBTCL_TIMER_EVENTS\fR, or \fBTCL_IDLE_EVENTS\fR is set, then the only
+events that will be considered are those for which flags are set.
+Setting none of these flags is equivalent to the value
+\fBTCL_ALL_EVENTS\fR, which causes all event types to be processed.
+If an application has defined additional event sources with
+\fBTcl_CreateEventSource\fR, then additional \fIflag\fR values
+may also be valid, depending on those event sources.
+.PP
+The \fBTCL_DONT_WAIT\fR flag causes \fBTcl_DoOneEvent\fR not to put
+the process to sleep:  it will check for events but if none are found
+then it returns immediately with a return value of 0 to indicate
+that no work was done.
+\fBTcl_DoOneEvent\fR will also return 0 without doing anything if
+the only alternative is to block forever (this can happen, for example,
+if \fIflags\fR is \fBTCL_IDLE_EVENTS\fR and there are no
+\fBTcl_DoWhenIdle\fR callbacks pending, or if no event handlers or
+timer handlers exist).
+.PP
+\fBTcl_DoOneEvent\fR may be invoked recursively.  For example,
+it is possible to invoke \fBTcl_DoOneEvent\fR recursively
+from a handler called by \fBTcl_DoOneEvent\fR.  This sort
+of operation is useful in some modal situations, such
+as when a
+notification dialog has been popped up and an application wishes to
+wait for the user to click a button in the dialog before
+doing anything else.

+.AP Tcl_IdleProc *proc in
+Procedure to invoke.
+.AP ClientData clientData in
+Arbitrary one-word value to pass to \fIproc\fR.
+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+\fBTcl_DoWhenIdle\fR arranges for \fIproc\fR to be invoked
+when the application becomes idle.  The application is
+considered to be idle when \fBTcl_DoOneEvent\fR has been
+called, couldn't find any events to handle, and is about
+to go to sleep waiting for an event to occur.  At this
+point all pending \fBTcl_DoWhenIdle\fR handlers are
+invoked.  For each call to \fBTcl_DoWhenIdle\fR there will
+be a single call to \fIproc\fR;  after \fIproc\fR is
+invoked the handler is automatically removed.
+\fBTcl_DoWhenIdle\fR is only usable in programs that
+use \fBTcl_DoOneEvent\fR to dispatch events.
+.PP
+\fIProc\fR should have arguments and result that match the
+type \fBTcl_IdleProc\fR:
+.CS
+typedef void Tcl_IdleProc(ClientData \fIclientData\fR);
+.CE
+The \fIclientData\fR parameter to \fIproc\fR is a copy of the \fIclientData\fR
+argument given to \fBTcl_DoWhenIdle\fR.  Typically, \fIclientData\fR
+points to a data structure containing application-specific information about
+what \fIproc\fR should do.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_CancelIdleCall\fR
+may be used to cancel one or more previous
+calls to \fBTcl_DoWhenIdle\fR:  if there is a \fBTcl_DoWhenIdle\fR
+handler registered for \fIproc\fR and \fIclientData\fR, then it
+is removed without invoking it.  If there is more than one
+handler on the idle list that refers to \fIproc\fR and \fIclientData\fR,
+all of the handlers are removed.  If no existing handlers match
+\fIproc\fR and \fIclientData\fR then nothing happens.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_DoWhenIdle\fR is most useful in situations where
+(a) a piece of work will have to be done but (b) it's
+possible that something will happen in the near future
+that will change what has to be done or require something
+different to be done.  \fBTcl_DoWhenIdle\fR allows the
+actual work to be deferred until all pending events have
+been processed.  At this point the exact work to be done
+will presumably be known and it can be done exactly once.
+.PP
+For example, \fBTcl_DoWhenIdle\fR might be used by an editor
+to defer display updates until all pending commands have
+been processed.  Without this feature, redundant redisplays
+might occur in some situations, such as the processing of
+a command file.
+.SH BUGS
+.PP
+At present it is not safe for an idle callback to reschedule itself
+continuously.  This will interact badly with certain features of Tk
+that attempt to wait for all idle callbacks to complete.  If you would
+like for an idle callback to reschedule itself continuously, it is
+better to use a timer handler with a zero timeout period.

+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+All four of these procedures execute Tcl commands.
+\fBTcl_Eval\fR is the core procedure and is used by all the others.
+It executes the commands in the script held by \fIcmd\fR
+until either an error occurs or it reaches the end of the script.
+.PP
+Note that \fBTcl_Eval\fR and \fBTcl_GlobalEval\fR
+have been largely replaced by the
+object-based procedures \fBTcl_EvalObj\fR and \fBTcl_GlobalEvalObj\fR.
+Those object-based procedures evaluate a script held in a Tcl object
+instead of a string.
+The object argument can retain the bytecode instructions for the script
+and so avoid reparsing the script each time it is executed.
+\fBTcl_Eval\fR is implemented using \fBTcl_EvalObj\fR
+but is slower because it must reparse the script each time
+since there is no object to retain the bytecode instructions.
+.PP
+The return value from \fBTcl_Eval\fR is one of the Tcl return codes
+\fBTCL_OK\fR, \fBTCL_ERROR\fR, \fBTCL_RETURN\fR, \fBTCL_BREAK\fR, or
+\fBTCL_CONTINUE\fR, and \fIinterp->result\fR will point to
+a string with additional information (a result value or error message).
+If an error occurs during compilation, this return information
+describes the error.
+Otherwise, this return information corresponds to the last command
+executed from \fIcmd\fR.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_VarEval\fR takes any number of string arguments
+of any length, concatenates them into a single string,
+then calls \fBTcl_Eval\fR to execute that string as a Tcl command.
+It returns the result of the command and also modifies
+\fIinterp->result\fR in the usual fashion for Tcl commands.
+The last argument to \fBTcl_VarEval\fR must be NULL to indicate the end
+of arguments.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_EvalFile\fR reads the file given by \fIfileName\fR and evaluates
+its contents as a Tcl command by calling \fBTcl_Eval\fR.  It returns
+a standard Tcl result that reflects the result of evaluating the file.
+If the file couldn't be read then a Tcl error is returned to describe
+why the file couldn't be read.
+.PP
+During the processing of a Tcl command it is legal to make nested
+calls to evaluate other commands (this is how procedures and
+some control structures are implemented).
+If a code other than \fBTCL_OK\fR is returned
+from a nested \fBTcl_Eval\fR invocation,
+then the caller should normally return immediately,
+passing that same return code back to its caller,
+and so on until the top-level application is reached.
+A few commands, like \fBfor\fR, will check for certain
+return codes, like \fBTCL_BREAK\fR and \fBTCL_CONTINUE\fR, and process them
+specially without returning.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_Eval\fR keeps track of how many nested \fBTcl_Eval\fR
+invocations are in progress for \fIinterp\fR.
+If a code of \fBTCL_RETURN\fR, \fBTCL_BREAK\fR, or \fBTCL_CONTINUE\fR is
+about to be returned from the topmost \fBTcl_Eval\fR
+invocation for \fIinterp\fR,
+it converts the return code to \fBTCL_ERROR\fR
+and sets \fIinterp->result\fR
+to point to an error message indicating that
+the \fBreturn\fR, \fBbreak\fR, or \fBcontinue\fR command was
+invoked in an inappropriate place.
+This means that top-level applications should never see a return code
+from \fBTcl_Eval\fR other then \fBTCL_OK\fR or \fBTCL_ERROR\fR.

+(a result value or error message)
+that can be retrieved using \fBTcl_GetObjResult\fR.
+If an error occurs during compilation, this return information
+describes the error.
+Otherwise, this return information corresponds to the last command
+executed from \fIobjPtr\fR.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_GlobalEvalObj\fR is similar to \fBTcl_EvalObj\fR except that it
+processes the command at global level.
+This means that the variable context for the command consists of
+global variables only (it ignores any Tcl procedure that is active).
+This produces an effect similar to the Tcl command ``\fBuplevel 0\fR''.
+.PP
+During the processing of a Tcl command it is legal to make nested
+calls to evaluate other commands (this is how procedures and
+some control structures are implemented).
+If a code other than \fBTCL_OK\fR is returned
+from a nested \fBTcl_EvalObj\fR invocation,
+then the caller should normally return immediately,
+passing that same return code back to its caller,
+and so on until the top-level application is reached.
+A few commands, like \fBfor\fR, will check for certain
+return codes, like \fBTCL_BREAK\fR and \fBTCL_CONTINUE\fR, and process them
+specially without returning.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_EvalObj\fR keeps track of how many nested \fBTcl_EvalObj\fR
+invocations are in progress for \fIinterp\fR.
+If a code of \fBTCL_RETURN\fR, \fBTCL_BREAK\fR, or \fBTCL_CONTINUE\fR is
+about to be returned from the topmost \fBTcl_EvalObj\fR
+invocation for \fIinterp\fR,
+it converts the return code to \fBTCL_ERROR\fR
+and sets the interpreter's result object
+to point to an error message indicating that
+the \fBreturn\fR, \fBbreak\fR, or \fBcontinue\fR command was
+invoked in an inappropriate place.
+This means that top-level applications should never see a return code
+from \fBTcl_EvalObj\fR other then \fBTCL_OK\fR or \fBTCL_ERROR\fR.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+The procedures described here provide a graceful mechanism to end the
+execution of a \fBTcl\fR application. Exit handlers are invoked to cleanup the
+application's state before ending the execution of \fBTcl\fR code.
+.PP
+Invoke \fBTcl_Exit\fR to end a \fBTcl\fR application and to exit from this
+process. This procedure is invoked by the \fBexit\fR command, and can be
+invoked anyplace else to terminate the application.
+No-one should ever invoke the \fBexit\fR system procedure directly;  always
+invoke \fBTcl_Exit\fR instead, so that it can invoke exit handlers.
+Note that if other code invokes \fBexit\fR system procedure directly, or
+otherwise causes the application to terminate without calling
+\fBTcl_Exit\fR, the exit handlers will not be run.
+\fBTcl_Exit\fR internally invokes the \fBexit\fR system call, thus it never
+returns control to its caller.
+.PP
+.VS
+\fBTcl_Finalize\fR is similar to \fBTcl_Exit\fR except that it does not
+exit from the current process.
+It is useful for cleaning up when a process is finished using \fBTcl\fR but
+wishes to continue executing, and when \fBTcl\fR is used in a dynamically
+loaded extension that is about to be unloaded.
+On some systems \fBTcl\fR is automatically notified when it is being
+unloaded, and it calls \fBTcl_Finalize\fR internally; on these systems it
+not necessary for the caller to explicitly call \fBTcl_Finalize\fR.
+However, to ensure portability, your code should always invoke
+\fBTcl_Finalize\fR when \fBTcl\fR is being unloaded, to ensure that the
+code will work on all platforms. \fBTcl_Finalize\fR can be safely called
+more than once.
+.VE
+.PP
+\fBTcl_CreateExitHandler\fR arranges for \fIproc\fR to be invoked
+by \fBTcl_Finalize\fR and \fBTcl_Exit\fR.
+This provides a hook for cleanup operations such as flushing buffers
+and freeing global memory.
+\fIProc\fR should match the type \fBTcl_ExitProc\fR:
+.CS
+typedef void Tcl_ExitProc(ClientData \fIclientData\fR);
+.CE
+The \fIclientData\fR parameter to \fIproc\fR is a
+copy of the \fIclientData\fR argument given to
+\fBTcl_CreateExitHandler\fR when the callback
+was created.  Typically, \fIclientData\fR points to a data
+structure containing application-specific information about
+what to do in \fIproc\fR.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_DeleteExitHandler\fR may be called to delete a
+previously-created exit handler.  It removes the handler
+indicated by \fIproc\fR and \fIclientData\fR so that no call
+to \fIproc\fR will be made.  If no such handler exists then
+\fBTcl_DeleteExitHandler\fR does nothing.
+.PP
+.VS
+.PP
+\fBTcl_Finalize\fR and \fBTcl_Exit\fR execute all registered exit handlers,
+in reverse order from the order in which they were registered.
+This matches the natural order in which extensions are loaded and unloaded;
+if extension \fBA\fR loads extension \fBB\fR, it usually
+unloads \fBB\fR before it itself is unloaded.
+If extension \fBA\fR registers its exit handlers before loading extension
+\fBB\fR, this ensures that any exit handlers for \fBB\fR will be executed
+before the exit handlers for \fBA\fR.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+These four procedures all evaluate the expression
+given by the \fIstring\fR argument
+and return the result in one of four different forms.
+The expression can have any of the forms accepted by the \fBexpr\fR command.
+Note that these procedures have been largely replaced by the
+object-based procedures \fBTcl_ExprLongObj\fR, \fBTcl_ExprDoubleObj\fR,
+\fBTcl_ExprBooleanObj\fR, and \fBTcl_ExprStringObj\fR.
+Those object-based procedures evaluate an expression held in a Tcl object
+instead of a string.
+The object argument can retain an internal representation
+that is more efficient to execute.
+.PP
+The \fIinterp\fR argument refers to an interpreter used to
+evaluate the expression (e.g. for variables and nested Tcl
+commands) and to return error information.
+\fIinterp->result\fR is assumed to be initialized
+in the standard fashion when they are invoked.
+.PP
+For all of these procedures the return value is a standard
+Tcl result: \fBTCL_OK\fR means the expression was successfully
+evaluated, and \fBTCL_ERROR\fR means that an error occurred while
+evaluating the expression.
+If \fBTCL_ERROR\fR is returned then
+\fIinterp->result\fR will hold a message describing the error.
+If an error occurs while executing a Tcl command embedded in
+the expression then that error will be returned.
+.PP
+If the expression is successfully evaluated, then its value is
+returned in one of four forms, depending on which procedure
+is invoked.
+\fBTcl_ExprLong\fR stores an integer value at \fI*longPtr\fR.
+If the expression's actual value is a floating-point number,
+then it is truncated to an integer.
+If the expression's actual value is a non-numeric string then
+an error is returned.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_ExprDouble\fR stores a floating-point value at \fI*doublePtr\fR.
+If the expression's actual value is an integer, it is converted to
+floating-point.
+If the expression's actual value is a non-numeric string then
+an error is returned.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_ExprBoolean\fR stores a 0/1 integer value at \fI*booleanPtr\fR.
+If the expression's actual value is an integer or floating-point
+number, then they store 0 at \fI*booleanPtr\fR if
+the value was zero and 1 otherwise.
+If the expression's actual value is a non-numeric string then
+it must be one of the values accepted by \fBTcl_GetBoolean\fR
+such as ``yes'' or ``no'', or else an error occurs.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_ExprString\fR returns the value of the expression as a
+string stored in \fIinterp->result\fR.
+If the expression's actual value is an integer
+then \fBTcl_ExprString\fR converts it to a string using \fBsprintf\fR
+with a ``%d'' converter.
+If the expression's actual value is a floating-point
+number, then \fBTcl_ExprString\fR calls \fBTcl_PrintDouble\fR
+to convert it to a string.

+This procedure provides an efficient way for looking up keywords,

+\fIObjPtr\fR is compared against each of
+the strings in \fItablePtr\fR to find a match.  A match occurs if
+\fIobjPtr\fR's string value is identical to one of the strings in
+\fItablePtr\fR, or if it is a unique abbreviation
+for exactly one of the strings in \fItablePtr\fR and the
+\fBTCL_EXACT\fR flag was not specified; in either case

+and TCL_OK is returned.

+If there is no matching entry,
+TCL_ERROR is returned and an error message is left in \fIinterp\fR's
+result if \fIinterp\fR isn't NULL.  \fIMsg\fR is included in the
+error message to indicate what was being looked up.  For example,
+if \fImsg\fR is \fBoption\fR the error message will have a form like
+\fBbad option "firt": must be first, second, or third\fR.
+.PP
+If \fBTcl_GetIndexFromObj\fR completes successfully it modifies the
+internal representation of \fIobjPtr\fR to hold the address of
+the table and the index of the matching entry.  If \fBTcl_GetIndexFromObj\fR
+is invoked again with the same \fIobjPtr\fR and \fItablePtr\fR
+arguments (e.g. during a reinvocation of a Tcl command), it returns
+the matching index immediately without having to redo the lookup
+operation.  Note: \fBTcl_GetIndexFromObj\fR assumes that the entries
+in \fItablePtr\fR are static: they must not change between invocations.

+.PP
+These procedures convert from strings to integers or double-precision
+floating-point values or booleans (represented as 0- or 1-valued
+integers).  Each of the procedures takes a \fIstring\fR argument,
+converts it to an internal form of a particular type, and stores
+the converted value at the location indicated by the procedure's
+third argument.  If all goes well, each of the procedures returns
+TCL_OK.  If \fIstring\fR doesn't have the proper syntax for the
+desired type then TCL_ERROR is returned, an error message is left
+in \fIinterp->result\fR, and nothing is stored at *\fIintPtr\fR
+or *\fIdoublePtr\fR or *\fIboolPtr\fR.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_GetInt\fR expects \fIstring\fR to consist of a collection
+of integer digits, optionally signed and optionally preceded by
+white space.  If the first two characters of \fIstring\fR are ``0x''
+then \fIstring\fR is expected to be in hexadecimal form;  otherwise,
+if the first character of \fIstring\fR is ``0'' then \fIstring\fR
+is expected to be in octal form;  otherwise, \fIstring\fR is
+expected to be in decimal form.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_GetDouble\fR expects \fIstring\fR to consist of a floating-point
+number, which is:  white space;  a sign; a sequence of digits;  a
+decimal point;  a sequence of digits;  the letter ``e'';  and a
+signed decimal exponent.  Any of the fields may be omitted, except that
+the digits either before or after the decimal point must be present
+and if the ``e'' is present then it must be followed by the
+exponent number.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_GetBoolean\fR expects \fIstring\fR to specify a boolean
+value.  If \fIstring\fR is any of \fB0\fR, \fBfalse\fR,
+\fBno\fR, or \fBoff\fR, then \fBTcl_GetBoolean\fR stores a zero
+value at \fI*boolPtr\fR.
+If \fIstring\fR is any of \fB1\fR, \fBtrue\fR, \fByes\fR, or \fBon\fR,
+then 1 is stored at \fI*boolPtr\fR.
+Any of these values may be abbreviated, and upper-case spellings

+.PP
+\fBTcl_GetOpenFile\fR takes as argument a file identifier of the form
+returned by the \fBopen\fR command and
+returns at \fI*filePtr\fR a pointer to the FILE structure for
+the file.
+The \fIwrite\fR argument indicates whether the FILE pointer will

+In some cases, such as a channel that connects to a pipeline of
+subprocesses, different FILE pointers will be returned for reading
+and writing.
+\fBTcl_GetOpenFile\fR normally returns TCL_OK.
+If an error occurs in \fBTcl_GetOpenFile\fR (e.g. \fIstring\fR didn't
+make any sense or \fIcheckUsage\fR was set and the file wasn't opened
+for the access specified by \fIwrite\fR) then TCL_ERROR is returned
+and \fIinterp->result\fR will contain an error message.
+In the current implementation \fIcheckUsage\fR is ignored and consistency

+Tcl_Channel
+\fBTcl_GetStdChannel\fR(\fItype\fR)
+.sp
+\fBTcl_SetStdChannel\fR(\fIchannel, type\fR)

+.SH ARGUMENTS
+.AS Tcl_Channel channel in
+.AP int type in
+The identifier for the standard channel to retrieve or modify.  Must be one of
+\fBTCL_STDIN\fR, \fBTCL_STDOUT\fR, or \fBTCL_STDERR\fR.
+.AP Tcl_Channel channel in
+The channel to use as the new value for the specified standard channel.
+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+Tcl defines three special channels that are used by various I/O related
+commands if no other channels are specified.  The standard input channel
+has a channel name of \fBstdin\fR and is used by \fBread\fR and \fBgets\fR.
+The standard output channel is named \fBstdout\fR and is used by
+\fBputs\fR.  The standard error channel is named \fBstderr\fR and is used for 
+reporting errors.  In addition, the standard channels are inherited by any
+child processes created using \fBexec\fR or \fBopen\fR in the absence of any
+other redirections.
+.PP
+The standard channels are actually aliases for other normal channels.  The
+current channel associated with a standard channel can be retrieved by calling
+\fBTcl_GetStdChannel\fR with one of 
+\fBTCL_STDIN\fR, \fBTCL_STDOUT\fR, or \fBTCL_STDERR\fR as the \fItype\fR.  The
+return value will be a valid channel, or NULL.
+.PP
+A new channel can be set for the standard channel specified by \fItype\fR 
+by calling \fBTcl_SetStdChannel\fR with a new channel or NULL in the
+\fIchannel\fR argument.  If the specified channel is closed by a later call to
+\fBTcl_Close\fR, then the corresponding standard channel will automatically be
+set to NULL.
+.PP
+If \fBTcl_GetStdChannel\fR is called before \fBTcl_SetStdChannel\fR, Tcl will
+construct a new channel to wrap the appropriate platform-specific standard 
+file handle.  If \fBTcl_SetStdChannel\fR is called before
+\fBTcl_GetStdChannel\fR, then the default channel will not be created.
+.PP
+If one of the standard channels is set to NULL, either by calling
+\fBTcl_SetStdChannel\fR with a null \fIchannel\fR argument, or by calling
+\fBTcl_Close\fR on the channel, then the next call to \fBTcl_CreateChannel\fR
+will automatically set the standard channel with the newly created channel.  If
+more than one standard channel is NULL, then the standard channels will be
+assigned starting with standard input, followed by standard output, with
+standard error being last.

+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+A hash table consists of zero or more entries, each consisting of
+a key and a value.
+Given the key for an entry, the hashing routines can very quickly
+locate the entry, and hence its value.
+There may be at most one entry in a hash table with a
+particular key, but many entries may have the same value.
+Keys can take one of three forms:  strings,
+one-word values, or integer arrays.
+All of the keys in a given table have the same form, which is
+specified when the table is initialized.
+.PP
+The value of a hash table entry can be anything that fits in
+the same space as a ``char *'' pointer.
+Values for hash table entries are managed entirely by clients,
+not by the hash module itself.
+Typically each entry's value is a pointer to a data structure
+managed by client code.
+.PP
+Hash tables grow gracefully as the number of entries increases,
+so that there are always less than three entries per hash bucket,
+on average.
+This allows for fast lookups regardless of the number of entries
+in a table.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_InitHashTable\fR initializes a structure that describes
+a new hash table.
+The space for the structure is provided by the caller, not by
+the hash module.
+The value of \fIkeyType\fR indicates what kinds of keys will
+be used for all entries in the table.  \fIKeyType\fR must have
+one of the following values:
+.IP \fBTCL_STRING_KEYS\fR 25
+Keys are null-terminated ASCII strings.
+They are passed to hashing routines using the address of the
+first character of the string.
+.IP \fBTCL_ONE_WORD_KEYS\fR 25
+Keys are single-word values;  they are passed to hashing routines
+and stored in hash table entries as ``char *'' values.
+The pointer value is the key;  it need not (and usually doesn't)
+actually point to a string.
+.IP \fIother\fR 25
+If \fIkeyType\fR is not TCL_STRING_KEYS or TCL_ONE_WORD_KEYS,
+then it must be an integer value greater than 1.
+In this case the keys will be arrays of ``int'' values, where
+\fIkeyType\fR gives the number of ints in each key.
+This allows structures to be used as keys.
+All keys must have the same size.
+Array keys are passed into hashing functions using the address
+of the first int in the array.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_DeleteHashTable\fR deletes all of the entries in a hash
+table and frees up the memory associated with the table's
+bucket array and entries.
+It does not free the actual table structure (pointed to
+by \fItablePtr\fR), since that memory is assumed to be managed
+by the client.
+\fBTcl_DeleteHashTable\fR also does not free or otherwise
+manipulate the values of the hash table entries.
+If the entry values point to dynamically-allocated memory, then
+it is the client's responsibility to free these structures
+before deleting the table.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_CreateHashEntry\fR locates the entry corresponding to a
+particular key, creating a new entry in the table if there
+wasn't already one with the given key.
+If an entry already existed with the given key then \fI*newPtr\fR
+is set to zero.
+If a new entry was created, then \fI*newPtr\fR is set to a non-zero
+value and the value of the new entry will be set to zero.
+The return value from \fBTcl_CreateHashEntry\fR is a pointer to
+the entry, which may be used to retrieve and modify the entry's
+value or to delete the entry from the table.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_DeleteHashEntry\fR will remove an existing entry from a
+table.
+The memory associated with the entry itself will be freed, but
+the client is responsible for any cleanup associated with the
+entry's value, such as freeing a structure that it points to.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_FindHashEntry\fR is similar to \fBTcl_CreateHashEntry\fR
+except that it doesn't create a new entry if the key doesn't exist;
+instead, it returns NULL as result.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_GetHashValue\fR and \fBTcl_SetHashValue\fR are used to
+read and write an entry's value, respectively.
+Values are stored and retrieved as type ``ClientData'', which is
+large enough to hold a pointer value.  On almost all machines this is
+large enough to hold an integer value too.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_GetHashKey\fR returns the key for a given hash table entry,
+either as a pointer to a string, a one-word (``char *'') key, or
+as a pointer to the first word of an array of integers, depending
+on the \fIkeyType\fR used to create a hash table.
+In all cases \fBTcl_GetHashKey\fR returns a result with type
+``char *''.
+When the key is a string or array, the result of \fBTcl_GetHashKey\fR
+points to information in the table entry;  this information will
+remain valid until the entry is deleted or its table is deleted.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_FirstHashEntry\fR and \fBTcl_NextHashEntry\fR may be used
+to scan all of the entries in a hash table.
+A structure of type ``Tcl_HashSearch'', provided by the client,
+is used to keep track of progress through the table.
+\fBTcl_FirstHashEntry\fR initializes the search record and
+returns the first entry in the table (or NULL if the table is
+empty).
+Each subsequent call to \fBTcl_NextHashEntry\fR returns the
+next entry in the table or
+NULL if the end of the table has been reached.
+A call to \fBTcl_FirstHashEntry\fR followed by calls to
+\fBTcl_NextHashEntry\fR will return each of the entries in
+the table exactly once, in an arbitrary order.
+It is unadvisable to modify the structure of the table, e.g.
+by creating or deleting entries, while the search is in
+progress.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_HashStats\fR returns a dynamically-allocated string with
+overall information about a hash table, such as the number of
+entries it contains, the number of buckets in its hash array,
+and the utilization of the buckets.
+It is the caller's responsibility to free the result string
+by passing it to \fBfree\fR.
+.PP
+The header file \fBtcl.h\fR defines the actual data structures
+used to implement hash tables.
+This is necessary so that clients can allocate Tcl_HashTable
+structures and so that macros can be used to read and write
+the values of entries.
+However, users of the hashing routines should never refer directly
+to any of the fields of any of the hash-related data structures;
+use the procedures and macros defined here.

+.sp
+typedef struct {

+	int \fIerrorLine\fR;
+} Tcl_Interp;
+
+typedef void Tcl_FreeProc(char *\fIblockPtr\fR);
+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+The \fBTcl_CreateInterp\fR procedure returns a pointer to a Tcl_Interp
+structure.  This pointer is then passed into other Tcl procedures
+to process commands in the interpreter and perform other operations
+on the interpreter.  Interpreter structures contain many many fields
+that are used by Tcl, but only three that may be accessed by
+clients:  \fIresult\fR, \fIfreeProc\fR, and \fIerrorLine\fR.
+.PP
+The \fIresult\fR and \fIfreeProc\fR fields are used to return
+results or error messages from commands.
+This information is returned by command procedures back to \fBTcl_Eval\fR,
+and by \fBTcl_Eval\fR back to its callers.
+The \fIresult\fR field points to the string that represents the
+result or error message, and the \fIfreeProc\fR field tells how
+to dispose of the storage for the string when it isn't needed anymore.
+The easiest way for command procedures to manipulate these
+fields is to call procedures like \fBTcl_SetResult\fR
+or \fBTcl_AppendResult\fR;  they
+will hide all the details of managing the fields.
+The description below is for those procedures that manipulate the
+fields directly.
+.PP
+Whenever a command procedure returns, it must ensure
+that the \fIresult\fR field of its interpreter points to the string
+being returned by the command.
+The \fIresult\fR field must always point to a valid string.
+If a command wishes to return no result then \fIinterp->result\fR
+should point to an empty string.
+Normally, results are assumed to be statically allocated,
+which means that the contents will not change before the next time
+\fBTcl_Eval\fR is called or some other command procedure is invoked.
+.VS
+In this case, the \fIfreeProc\fR field must be zero.
+Alternatively, a command procedure may dynamically
+allocate its return value (e.g. using \fBTcl_Alloc\fR)
+and store a pointer to it in \fIinterp->result\fR.
+In this case, the command procedure must also set \fIinterp->freeProc\fR
+to the address of a procedure that can free the value, or \fBTCL_DYNAMIC\fR
+if the storage was allocated directly by Tcl or by a call to
+\fBTcl_Alloc\fR. 
+.VE
+If \fIinterp->freeProc\fR is non-zero, then Tcl will call \fIfreeProc\fR
+to free the space pointed to by \fIinterp->result\fR before it
+invokes the next command.
+If a client procedure overwrites \fIinterp->result\fR when
+\fIinterp->freeProc\fR is non-zero, then it is responsible for calling
+\fIfreeProc\fR to free the old \fIinterp->result\fR (the \fBTcl_FreeResult\fR
+macro should be used for this purpose).
+.PP
+\fIFreeProc\fR should have arguments and result that match the
+\fBTcl_FreeProc\fR declaration above:  it receives a single
+argument which is a pointer to the result value to free.
+.VS
+In most applications \fBTCL_DYNAMIC\fR is the only non-zero value ever
+used for \fIfreeProc\fR.
+.VE
+However, an application may store a different procedure address
+in \fIfreeProc\fR in order to use an alternate memory allocator
+or in order to do other cleanup when the result memory is freed.
+.PP
+As part of processing each command, \fBTcl_Eval\fR initializes
+\fIinterp->result\fR
+and \fIinterp->freeProc\fR just before calling the command procedure for
+the command.  The \fIfreeProc\fR field will be initialized to zero,
+and \fIinterp->result\fR will point to an empty string.  Commands that
+do not return any value can simply leave the fields alone.
+Furthermore, the empty string pointed to by \fIresult\fR is actually
+part of an array of \fBTCL_RESULT_SIZE\fR characters (approximately 200).
+If a command wishes to return a short string, it can simply copy
+it to the area pointed to by \fIinterp->result\fR.  Or, it can use
+the sprintf procedure to generate a short result string at the location
+pointed to by \fIinterp->result\fR.
+.PP
+It is a general convention in Tcl-based applications that the result
+of an interpreter is normally in the initialized state described
+in the previous paragraph.
+Procedures that manipulate an interpreter's result (e.g. by
+returning an error) will generally assume that the result
+has been initialized when the procedure is called.
+If such a procedure is to be called after the result has been
+changed, then \fBTcl_ResetResult\fR should be called first to
+reset the result to its initialized state.
+.PP
+The \fIerrorLine\fR
+field is valid only after \fBTcl_Eval\fR returns
+a \fBTCL_ERROR\fR return code.  In this situation the \fIerrorLine\fR
+field identifies the line number of the command being executed when
+the error occurred.  The line numbers are relative to the command
+being executed:  1 means the first line of the command passed to
+\fBTcl_Eval\fR, 2 means the second line, and so on.
+The \fIerrorLine\fR field is typically used in conjunction with
+\fBTcl_AddErrorInfo\fR to report information about where an error
+occurred.
+\fIErrorLine\fR should not normally be modified except by \fBTcl_Eval\fR.

+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+\fBTcl_LinkVar\fR uses variable traces to keep the Tcl variable
+named by \fIvarName\fR in sync with the C variable at the address
+given by \fIaddr\fR.
+Whenever the Tcl variable is read the value of the C variable will
+be returned, and whenever the Tcl variable is written the C
+variable will be updated to have the same value.
+\fBTcl_LinkVar\fR normally returns TCL_OK;  if an error occurs
+while setting up the link (e.g. because \fIvarName\fR is the
+name of array) then TCL_ERROR is returned and \fIinterp->result\fR
+contains an error message.
+.PP
+The \fItype\fR argument specifies the type of the C variable,
+and must have one of the following values, optionally OR'ed with
+TCL_LINK_READ_ONLY:
+.TP
+\fBTCL_LINK_INT\fR
+The C variable is of type \fBint\fR.
+Any value written into the Tcl variable must have a proper integer
+form acceptable to \fBTcl_GetInt\fR;  attempts to write
+non-integer values into \fIvarName\fR will be rejected with
+Tcl errors.
+.TP
+\fBTCL_LINK_DOUBLE\fR
+The C variable is of type \fBdouble\fR.
+Any value written into the Tcl variable must have a proper real
+form acceptable to \fBTcl_GetDouble\fR;  attempts to write
+non-real values into \fIvarName\fR will be rejected with
+Tcl errors.
+.TP
+\fBTCL_LINK_BOOLEAN\fR
+The C variable is of type \fBint\fR.
+If its value is zero then it will read from Tcl as ``0'';
+otherwise it will read from Tcl as ``1''.
+Whenever \fIvarName\fR is
+modified, the C variable will be set to a 0 or 1 value.
+Any value written into the Tcl variable must have a proper boolean
+form acceptable to \fBTcl_GetBoolean\fR;  attempts to write
+non-boolean values into \fIvarName\fR will be rejected with
+Tcl errors.
+.TP
+\fBTCL_LINK_STRING\fR
+The C variable is of type \fBchar *\fR.
+.VS
+If its value is not null then it must be a pointer to a string
+allocated with \fBTcl_Alloc\fR.
+.VE
+Whenever the Tcl variable is modified the current C string will be
+freed and new memory will be allocated to hold a copy of the variable's
+new value.
+If the C variable contains a null pointer then the Tcl variable
+will read as ``NULL''.
+.PP
+If the TCL_LINK_READ_ONLY flag is present in \fItype\fR then the
+variable will be read-only from Tcl, so that its value can only be
+changed by modifying the C variable.
+Attempts to write the variable from Tcl will be rejected with errors.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_UnlinkVar\fR removes the link previously set up for the
+variable given by \fIvarName\fR.  If there does not exist a link
+for \fIvarName\fR then the procedure has no effect.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_UpdateLinkedVar\fR may be invoked after the C variable has
+changed to force the Tcl variable to be updated immediately.
+In many cases this procedure is not needed, since any attempt to
+read the Tcl variable will return the latest value of the C variable.
+However, if a trace has been set on the Tcl variable (such as a
+Tk widget that wishes to display the value of the variable), the
+trace will not trigger when the C variable has changed.
+\fBTcl_UpdateLinkedVar\fR ensures that any traces on the Tcl
+variable are invoked.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+Tcl list objects have an internal representation that supports
+the efficient indexing and appending.
+The procedures described in this man page are used to
+create, modify, index, and append to Tcl list objects from C code.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_ListObjAppendList\fR and \fBTcl_ListObjAppendElement\fR
+both add one or more objects
+to the end of the list object referenced by \fIlistPtr\fR.
+\fBTcl_ListObjAppendList\fR appends each element of the list object
+referenced by \fIelemListPtr\fR while
+\fBTcl_ListObjAppendElement\fR appends the single object
+referenced by \fIobjPtr\fR.
+Both procedures will convert the object referenced by \fIlistPtr\fR
+to a list object if necessary.
+If an error occurs during conversion,
+both procedures return \fBTCL_ERROR\fR and leave an error message
+in the interpreter's result object if \fIinterp\fR is not NULL.
+Similarly, if \fIelemListPtr\fR does not already refer to a list object,
+\fBTcl_ListObjAppendList\fR will attempt to convert it to one
+and if an error occurs during conversion,
+will return \fBTCL_ERROR\fR
+and leave an error message in the interpreter's result object
+if interp is not NULL.
+Both procedures invalidate any old string representation of \fIlistPtr\fR
+and, if it was converted to a list object,
+free any old internal representation.
+Similarly, \fBTcl_ListObjAppendList\fR frees any old internal representation
+of \fIelemListPtr\fR if it converts it to a list object.
+After appending each element in \fIelemListPtr\fR,
+\fBTcl_ListObjAppendList\fR increments the element's reference count
+since \fIlistPtr\fR now also refers to it.
+For the same reason, \fBTcl_ListObjAppendElement\fR
+increments \fIobjPtr\fR's reference count.
+If no error occurs,
+the two procedures return \fBTCL_OK\fR after appending the objects.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_NewListObj\fR and \fBTcl_SetListObj\fR
+create a new object or modify an existing object to hold 
+the \fIobjc\fR elements of the array referenced by \fIobjv\fR
+where each element is a pointer to a Tcl object.
+If \fIobjc\fR is less than or equal to zero,
+they return an empty object.
+The new object's string representation is left invalid.
+The two procedures increment the reference counts
+of the elements in \fIobjc\fR since the list object now refers to them.
+The new list object returned by \fBTcl_NewListObj\fR
+has reference count zero.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_ListObjGetElements\fR returns a count and
+a pointer to an array of the elements in a list object.
+It returns the count by storing it in the address \fIobjcPtr\fR.
+Similarly, it returns the array pointer by storing it
+in the address \fIobjvPtr\fR.
+If \fIlistPtr\fR is not already a list object,
+\fBTcl_ListObjGetElements\fR will attempt to convert it to one;
+if the conversion fails, it returns \fBTCL_ERROR\fR
+and leaves an error message in the interpreter's result object
+if \fIinterp\fR is not NULL.
+Otherwise it returns \fBTCL_OK\fR after storing the count and array pointer.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_ListObjLength\fR returns the number of elements in the list object
+referenced by \fIlistPtr\fR.
+It returns this count by storing an integer in the address \fIintPtr\fR.
+If the object is not already a list object,
+\fBTcl_ListObjLength\fR will attempt to convert it to one;
+if the conversion fails, it returns \fBTCL_ERROR\fR
+and leaves an error message in the interpreter's result object
+if \fIinterp\fR is not NULL.
+Otherwise it returns \fBTCL_OK\fR after storing the list's length.
+.PP
+The procedure \fBTcl_ListObjIndex\fR returns a pointer to the object
+at element \fIindex\fR in the list referenced by \fIlistPtr\fR.
+It returns this object by storing a pointer to it
+in the address \fIobjPtrPtr\fR.
+If \fIlistPtr\fR does not already refer to a list object,
+\fBTcl_ListObjIndex\fR will attempt to convert it to one;
+if the conversion fails, it returns \fBTCL_ERROR\fR
+and leaves an error message in the interpreter's result object
+if \fIinterp\fR is not NULL.
+If the index is out of range,
+that is, \fIindex\fR is negative or
+greater than or equal to the number of elements in the list,
+\fBTcl_ListObjIndex\fR stores a NULL in \fIobjPtrPtr\fR
+and returns \fBTCL_OK\fR.
+Otherwise it returns \fBTCL_OK\fR after storing the element's
+object pointer.
+The reference count for the list element is not incremented;
+the caller must do that if it needs to retain a pointer to the element.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_ListObjReplace\fR replaces zero or more elements
+of the list referenced by \fIlistPtr\fR
+with the \fIobjc\fR objects in the array referenced by \fIobjv\fR.
+If \fIlistPtr\fR does not point to a list object,
+\fBTcl_ListObjReplace\fR will attempt to convert it to one;
+if the conversion fails, it returns \fBTCL_ERROR\fR
+and leaves an error message in the interpreter's result object
+if \fIinterp\fR is not NULL.
+Otherwise, it returns \fBTCL_OK\fR after replacing the objects.
+If \fIobjv\fR is NULL, no new elements are added.
+If the argument \fIfirst\fR is zero or negative,
+it refers to the first element.
+If \fIfirst\fR is greater than or equal to the
+number of elements in the list, then no elements are deleted;
+the new elements are appended to the list.
+\fIcount\fR gives the number of elements to replace.
+If \fIcount\fR is zero or negative then no elements are deleted;
+the new elements are simply inserted before the one
+designated by \fIfirst\fR.
+\fBTcl_ListObjReplace\fR invalidates \fIlistPtr\fR's
+old string representation.
+The reference counts of any elements inserted from \fIobjv\fR
+are incremented since the resulting list now refers to them.
+Similarly, the reference counts for any replaced objects are decremented.
+.PP
+Because \fBTcl_ListObjReplace\fR combines
+both element insertion and deletion,
+it can be used to implement a number of list operations.
+For example, the following code inserts the \fIobjc\fR objects
+referenced by the array of object pointers \fIobjv\fR
+just before the element \fIindex\fR of the list referenced by \fIlistPtr\fR:
+.CS
+result = Tcl_ListObjReplace(interp, listPtr, index, 0, objc, objv);
+.CE
+Similarly, the following code appends the \fIobjc\fR objects
+referenced by the array \fIobjv\fR
+to the end of the list \fIlistPtr\fR:
+.CS
+result = Tcl_ListObjLength(interp, listPtr, &length);
+if (result == TCL_OK) {
+	result = Tcl_ListObjReplace(interp, listPtr, length, 0, objc, objv);
+}
+.CE
+The \fIcount\fR list elements starting at \fIfirst\fR can be deleted
+by simply calling \fBTcl_ListObjReplace\fR
+with a NULL \fIobjvPtr\fR:
+.CS
+result = Tcl_ListObjReplace(interp, listPtr, first, count, 0, NULL);

+
+.SH INTRODUCTION
+.PP
+.VS
+The interfaces described here are used to customize the Tcl event
+loop.  The two most common customizations are to add new sources of
+events and to merge Tcl's event loop with some other event loop, such
+as one provided by an application in which Tcl is embedded.  Each of
+these tasks is described in a separate section below.
+.VE
+.PP
+The procedures in this manual entry are the building blocks out of which
+the Tcl event notifier is constructed.  The event notifier is the lowest
+layer in the Tcl event mechanism.  It consists of three things:
+.IP [1]
+Event sources: these represent the ways in which events can be
+generated.  For example, there is a timer event source that implements
+the \fBTcl_CreateTimerHandler\fR procedure and the \fBafter\fR
+command, and there is a file event source that implements the
+\fBTcl_CreateFileHandler\fR procedure on Unix systems.  An event
+source must work with the notifier to detect events at the right
+times, record them on the event queue, and eventually notify
+higher-level software that they have occurred.  The procedures
+\fBTcl_CreateEventSource\fR, \fBTcl_DeleteEventSource\fR,
+and \fBTcl_SetMaxBlockTime\fR, \fBTcl_QueueEvent\fR, and
+\fBTcl_DeleteEvents\fR are used primarily by event sources.
+.IP [2]
+The event queue: there is a single queue for the whole application,
+containing events that have been detected but not yet serviced.  Event
+sources place events onto the queue so that they may be processed in
+order at appropriate times during the event loop. The event queue
+guarantees a fair discipline of event handling, so that no event
+source can starve the others.  It also allows events to be saved for
+servicing at a future time.
+.VS
+\fBTcl_QueueEvent\fR is used (primarily
+by event sources) to add events to the event queue and 
+\fBTcl_DeleteEvents\fR is used to remove events from the queue without
+processing them.
+.IP [3]
+The event loop: in order to detect and process events, the application
+enters a loop that waits for events to occur, places them on the event
+queue, and then processes them.  Most applications will do this by
+calling the procedure \fBTcl_DoOneEvent\fR, which is described in a
+separate manual entry.
+.PP
+Most Tcl applications need not worry about any of the internals of
+the Tcl notifier.  However, the notifier now has enough flexibility
+to be retargeted either for a new platform or to use an external event
+loop (such as the Motif event loop, when Tcl is embedded in a Motif
+application).  The procedures \fBTcl_WaitForEvent\fR and
+\fBTcl_SetTimer\fR are normally implemented by Tcl, but may be
+replaced with new versions to retarget the notifier (the \fBTcl_Sleep\fR,
+\fBTcl_CreateFileHandler\fR, and \fBTcl_DeleteFileHandler\fR must
+also be replaced; see CREATING A NEW NOTIFIER below for details).
+The procedures \fBTcl_ServiceAll\fR, \fBTcl_ServiceEvent\fR,
+\fBTcl_GetServiceMode\fR, and \fBTcl_SetServiceMode\fR are provided
+to help connect Tcl's event loop to an external event loop such as
+Motif's.
+.SH "NOTIFIER BASICS"
+.VE
+.PP
+The easiest way to understand how the notifier works is to consider
+what happens when \fBTcl_DoOneEvent\fR is called.
+\fBTcl_DoOneEvent\fR is passed a \fIflags\fR argument that indicates
+what sort of events it is OK to process and also whether or not to
+block if no events are ready.  \fBTcl_DoOneEvent\fR does the following
+things:
+.IP [1]
+Check the event queue to see if it contains any events that can
+be serviced.  If so, service the first possible event, remove it
+.VS
+from the queue, and return.  It does this by calling
+\fBTcl_ServiceEvent\fR and passing in the \fIflags\fR argument.
+.VE
+.IP [2]
+Prepare to block for an event.  To do this, \fBTcl_DoOneEvent\fR
+invokes a \fIsetup procedure\fR in each event source.
+The event source will perform event-source specific initialization and
+.VS
+possibly call \fBTcl_SetMaxBlockTime\fR to limit how long
+.VE
+\fBTcl_WaitForEvent\fR will block if no new events occur.
+.IP [3]
+Call \fBTcl_WaitForEvent\fR.  This procedure is implemented differently
+on different platforms;  it waits for an event to occur, based on the
+information provided by the event sources.
+It may cause the application to block if \fItimePtr\fR specifies
+an interval other than 0.
+\fBTcl_WaitForEvent\fR returns when something has happened,
+such as a file becoming readable or the interval given by \fItimePtr\fR
+expiring.  If there are no events for \fBTcl_WaitForEvent\fR to
+wait for, so that it would block forever, then it returns immediately
+and \fBTcl_DoOneEvent\fR returns 0.
+.IP [4]
+Call a \fIcheck procedure\fR in each event source.  The check
+procedure determines whether any events of interest to this source
+occurred.  If so, the events are added to the event queue.
+.IP [5]
+Check the event queue to see if it contains any events that can
+be serviced.  If so, service the first possible event, remove it
+from the queue, and return.
+.IP [6]
+See if there are idle callbacks pending. If so, invoke all of them and
+return.
+.IP [7]
+Either return 0 to indicate that no events were ready, or go back to
+step [2] if blocking was requested by the caller.
+
+.SH "CREATING A NEW EVENT SOURCE"
+.PP
+An event source consists of three procedures invoked by the notifier,
+plus additional C procedures that are invoked by higher-level code
+to arrange for event-driven callbacks.  The three procedures called
+by the notifier consist of the setup and check procedures described
+above, plus an additional procedure that is invoked when an event
+is removed from the event queue for servicing.
+.PP
+The procedure \fBTcl_CreateEventSource\fR creates a new event source.
+Its arguments specify the setup procedure and check procedure for
+the event source.
+\fISetupProc\fR should match the following prototype:
+.CS
+typedef void Tcl_EventSetupProc(
+	ClientData \fIclientData\fR,
+	int \fIflags\fR);
+.CE
+The \fIclientData\fR argument will be the same as the \fIclientData\fR
+argument to \fBTcl_CreateEventSource\fR;  it is typically used to
+point to private information managed by the event source.
+The \fIflags\fR argument will be the same as the \fIflags\fR
+argument passed to \fBTcl_DoOneEvent\fR except that it will never
+be 0 (\fBTcl_DoOneEvent\fR replaces 0 with \fBTCL_ALL_EVENTS\fR).
+\fIFlags\fR indicates what kinds of events should be considered;
+if the bit corresponding to this event source isn't set, the event
+source should return immediately without doing anything.  For
+example, the file event source checks for the \fBTCL_FILE_EVENTS\fR
+bit.
+.PP
+\fISetupProc\fR's job is to make sure that the application wakes up
+when events of the desired type occur.  This is typically done in a
+platform-dependent fashion.  For example, under Unix an event source
+might call \fBTcl_CreateFileHandler\fR; under Windows it might
+request notification with a Windows event.  For timer-driven event
+sources such as timer events or any polled event, the event source
+can call \fBTcl_SetMaxBlockTime\fR to force the application to wake
+up after a specified time even if no events have occurred.
+.VS
+If no event source calls \fBTcl_SetMaxBlockTime\fR
+then \fBTcl_WaitForEvent\fR will wait as long as necessary for an
+event to occur; otherwise, it will only wait as long as the shortest
+interval passed to \fBTcl_SetMaxBlockTime\fR by one of the event
+sources.  If an event source knows that it already has events ready to
+report, it can request a zero maximum block time.  For example, the
+setup procedure for the X event source looks to see if there are
+events already queued.  If there are, it calls
+\fBTcl_SetMaxBlockTime\fR with a 0 block time so that
+\fBTcl_WaitForEvent\fR does not block if there is no new data on the X
+connection.
+.VE
+The \fItimePtr\fR argument to \fBTcl_WaitForEvent\fR points to
+a structure that describes a time interval in seconds and
+microseconds:
+.CS
+typedef struct Tcl_Time {
+	long \fIsec\fR;
+	long \fIusec\fR;
+} Tcl_Time;
+.CE
+The \fIusec\fR field should be less than 1000000.
+.PP
+.VS
+Information provided to \fBTcl_SetMaxBlockTime\fR
+is only used for the next call to \fBTcl_WaitForEvent\fR; it is
+discarded after \fBTcl_WaitForEvent\fR returns.
+.VE
+The next time an event wait is done each of the event sources'
+setup procedures will be called again, and they can specify new
+information for that event wait.
+.PP
+.VS
+If the application uses an external event loop rather than
+\fBTcl_DoOneEvent\fR, the event sources may need to call
+\fBTcl_SetMaxBlockTime\fR at other times.  For example, if a new event
+handler is registered that needs to poll for events, the event source
+may call \fBTcl_SetMaxBlockTime\fR to set the block time to zero to
+force the external event loop to call Tcl.  In this case,
+\fBTcl_SetMaxBlockTime\fR invokes \fBTcl_SetTimer\fR with the shortest
+interval seen since the last call to \fBTcl_DoOneEvent\fR or
+\fBTcl_ServiceAll\fR.
+.PP
+In addition to the generic procedure \fBTcl_SetMaxBlockTime\fR, other
+platform-specific procedures may also be available for
+\fIsetupProc\fR, if there is additional information needed by
+\fBTcl_WaitForEvent\fR on that platform.  For example, on Unix systems
+the \fBTcl_CreateFileHandler\fR interface can be used to wait for file events.
+.VE
+.PP
+The second procedure provided by each event source is its check
+procedure, indicated by the \fIcheckProc\fR argument to
+\fBTcl_CreateEventSource\fR.  \fICheckProc\fR must match the
+following prototype:
+.CS
+typedef void Tcl_EventCheckProc(
+	ClientData \fIclientData\fR,
+	int \fIflags\fR);
+.CE
+The arguments to this procedure are the same as those for \fIsetupProc\fR.
+\fBCheckProc\fR is invoked by \fBTcl_DoOneEvent\fR after it has waited
+for events.  Presumably at least one event source is now prepared to
+queue an event.  \fBTcl_DoOneEvent\fR calls each of the event sources
+in turn, so they all have a chance to queue any events that are ready.
+The check procedure does two things.  First, it must see if any events
+have triggered.  Different event sources do this in different ways.
+.PP
+If an event source's check procedure detects an interesting event, it
+must add the event to Tcl's event queue.  To do this, the event source
+calls \fBTcl_QueueEvent\fR.  The \fIevPtr\fR argument is a pointer to
+a dynamically allocated structure containing the event (see below for
+more information on memory management issues).  Each event source can
+define its own event structure with whatever information is relevant
+to that event source.  However, the first element of the structure
+must be a structure of type \fBTcl_Event\fR, and the address of this
+structure is used when communicating between the event source and the
+rest of the notifier.  A \fBTcl_Event\fR has the following definition:
+.CS
+typedef struct Tcl_Event {
+    Tcl_EventProc *\fIproc\fR;
+    struct Tcl_Event *\fInextPtr\fR;
+};
+.CE
+The event source must fill in the \fIproc\fR field of
+the event before calling \fBTcl_QueueEvent\fR.
+The \fInextPtr\fR is used to link together the events in the queue
+and should not be modified by the event source.
+.PP
+An event may be added to the queue at any of three positions, depending
+on the \fIposition\fR argument to \fBTcl_QueueEvent\fR:
+.IP \fBTCL_QUEUE_TAIL\fR 24
+Add the event at the back of the queue, so that all other pending
+events will be serviced first.  This is almost always the right
+place for new events.
+.IP \fBTCL_QUEUE_HEAD\fR 24
+Add the event at the front of the queue, so that it will be serviced
+before all other queued events.
+.IP \fBTCL_QUEUE_MARK\fR 24
+Add the event at the front of the queue, unless there are other
+events at the front whose position is \fBTCL_QUEUE_MARK\fR;  if so,
+add the new event just after all other \fBTCL_QUEUE_MARK\fR events.
+This value of \fIposition\fR is used to insert an ordered sequence of
+events at the front of the queue, such as a series of
+Enter and Leave events synthesized during a grab or ungrab operation
+in Tk.
+.PP
+.VS
+When it is time to handle an event from the queue (steps 1 and 4
+above) \fBTcl_ServiceEvent\fR will invoke the \fIproc\fR specified
+.VE
+in the first queued \fBTcl_Event\fR structure.
+\fIProc\fR must match the following prototype:
+.CS
+typedef int Tcl_EventProc(
+	Tcl_Event *\fIevPtr\fR,
+	int \fIflags\fR);
+.CE
+The first argument to \fIproc\fR is a pointer to the event, which will
+be the same as the first argument to the \fBTcl_QueueEvent\fR call that
+added the event to the queue.
+The second argument to \fIproc\fR is the \fIflags\fR argument for the
+.VS
+current call to \fBTcl_ServiceEvent\fR;  this is used by the event source
+.VE
+to return immediately if its events are not relevant.
+.PP
+It is up to \fIproc\fR to handle the event, typically by invoking
+one or more Tcl commands or C-level callbacks.
+Once the event source has finished handling the event it returns 1
+to indicate that the event can be removed from the queue.
+If for some reason the event source decides that the event cannot
+be handled at this time, it may return 0 to indicate that the event
+.VS
+should be deferred for processing later;  in this case \fBTcl_ServiceEvent\fR
+.VE
+will go on to the next event in the queue and attempt to service it.
+There are several reasons why an event source might defer an event.
+One possibility is that events of this type are excluded by the
+\fIflags\fR argument.
+For example, the file event source will always return 0 if the
+\fBTCL_FILE_EVENTS\fR bit isn't set in \fIflags\fR.
+Another example of deferring events happens in Tk if
+\fBTk_RestrictEvents\fR has been invoked to defer certain kinds
+of window events.
+.PP
+.VS
+When \fIproc\fR returns 1, \fBTcl_ServiceEvent\fR will remove the
+event from the event queue and free its storage.
+Note that the storage for an event must be allocated by
+the event source (using \fBTcl_Alloc\fR or the Tcl macro \fBckalloc\fR)
+before calling \fBTcl_QueueEvent\fR, but it
+will be freed by \fBTcl_ServiceEvent\fR, not by the event source.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_DeleteEvents\fR can be used to explicitly remove one or more
+events from the event queue.  \fBTcl_DeleteEvents\fR calls \fIproc\fR
+for each event in the queue, deleting those for with the procedure
+returns 1.  Events for which the procedure returns 0 are left in the
+queue.  \fIProc\fR should match the following prototype:
+.CS
+typedef int Tcl_EventDeleteProc(
+	Tcl_Event *\fIevPtr\fR,
+	ClientData \fIclientData\fR);
+.CE
+The \fIclientData\fR argument will be the same as the \fIclientData\fR
+argument to \fBTcl_DeleteEvents\fR; it is typically used to point to
+private information managed by the event source.  The \fIevPtr\fR will
+point to the next event in the queue.
+.VE
+
+.SH "CREATING A NEW NOTIFIER"
+.PP
+The notifier consists of all the procedures described in this manual
+entry, plus \fBTcl_DoOneEvent\fR and \fBTcl_Sleep\fR, which are
+.VS
+available on all platforms, and \fBTcl_CreateFileHandler\fR and
+\fBTcl_DeleteFileHandler\fR, which are Unix-specific.  Most of these
+procedures are generic, in that they are the same for all notifiers.
+However, five of the procedures are notifier-dependent:
+\fBTcl_SetTimer\fR, \fBTcl_Sleep\fR, \fBTcl_WaitForEvent\fR,
+\fBTcl_CreateFileHandler\fR and \fBTcl_DeleteFileHandler\fR.  To
+support a new platform or to integrate Tcl with an
+application-specific event loop, you must write new versions of these
+procedures.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_WaitForEvent\fR is the lowest-level procedure in the notifier;
+it is responsible for waiting for an ``interesting'' event to occur or
+for a given time to elapse.  Before \fBTcl_WaitForEvent\fR is invoked,
+each of the event sources' setup procedure will have been invoked.
+The \fItimePtr\fR argument to
+\fBTcl_WaitForEvent\fR gives the maximum time to block for an event,
+based on calls to \fBTcl_SetMaxBlockTime\fR made by setup procedures
+and on other information (such as the \fBTCL_DONT_WAIT\fR bit in
+\fIflags\fR).
+.PP
+Ideally, \fBTcl_WaitForEvent\fR should only wait for an event
+to occur; it should not actually process the event in any way.
+Later on, the
+event sources will process the raw events and create Tcl_Events on
+the event queue in their \fIcheckProc\fR procedures.
+However, on some platforms (such as Windows) this isn't possible;
+events may be processed in \fBTcl_WaitForEvent\fR, including queuing
+Tcl_Events and more (for example, callbacks for native widgets may be
+invoked).  The return value from \fBTcl_WaitForEvent\fR must be either
+0, 1, or \-1.  On platforms such as Windows where events get processed in
+\fBTcl_WaitForEvent\fR, a return value of 1 means that there may be more
+events still pending that haven't been processed.  This is a sign to the
+caller that it must call \fBTcl_WaitForEvent\fR again if it wants all
+pending events to be processed. A 0 return value means that calling
+\fBTcl_WaitForEvent\fR again will not have any effect: either this is a
+platform where \fBTcl_WaitForEvent\fR only waits without doing any event
+processing, or \fBTcl_WaitForEvent\fR knows for sure that there are no
+additional events to process (e.g. it returned because the time
+elapsed).  Finally, a return value of \-1 means that the event loop is
+no longer operational and the application should probably unwind and
+terminate.  Under Windows this happens when a WM_QUIT message is received;
+under Unix it happens when \fBTcl_WaitForEvent\fR would have waited
+forever because there were no active event sources and the timeout was
+infinite.
+.PP
+If the notifier will be used with an external event loop, then it must
+also support the \fBTcl_SetTimer\fR interface.  \fBTcl_SetTimer\fR is
+invoked by \fBTcl_SetMaxBlockTime\fR whenever the maximum blocking
+time has been reduced.  \fBTcl_SetTimer\fR should arrange for the
+external event loop to invoke \fBTcl_ServiceAll\fR after the specified
+interval even if no events have occurred.  This interface is needed
+because \fBTcl_WaitForEvent\fR isn't invoked when there is an external
+event loop.  If the
+notifier will only be used from \fBTcl_DoOneEvent\fR, then
+\fBTcl_SetTimer\fR need not do anything.
+.PP
+On Unix systems, the file event source also needs support from the
+notifier.  The file event source consists of the
+\fBTcl_CreateFileHandler\fR and \fBTcl_DeleteFileHandler\fR
+procedures, which are described elsewhere.
+.PP
+The \fBTcl_Sleep\fR and \fBTcl_DoOneEvent\fR interfaces are described
+elsewhere.
+.PP
+The easiest way to create a new notifier is to look at the code
+for an existing notifier, such as the files \fBunix/tclUnixNotfy.c\fR
+or \fBwin/tclWinNotify.c\fR in the Tcl source distribution.
+
+.SH "EXTERNAL EVENT LOOPS"
+.PP
+The notifier interfaces are designed so that Tcl can be embedded into
+applications that have their own private event loops.  In this case,
+the application does not call \fBTcl_DoOneEvent\fR except in the case
+of recursive event loops such as calls to the Tcl commands \fBupdate\fR
+or \fBvwait\fR.  Most of the time is spent in the external event loop
+of the application.  In this case the notifier must arrange for the
+external event loop to call back into Tcl when something
+happens on the various Tcl event sources.  These callbacks should
+arrange for appropriate Tcl events to be placed on the Tcl event queue.
+.PP
+Because the external event loop is not calling \fBTcl_DoOneEvent\fR on
+a regular basis, it is up to the notifier to arrange for
+\fBTcl_ServiceEvent\fR to be called whenever events are pending on the
+Tcl event queue.  The easiest way to do this is to invoke
+\fBTcl_ServiceAll\fR at the end of each callback from the external
+event loop.  This will ensure that all of the event sources are
+polled, any queued events are serviced, and any pending idle handlers
+are processed before returning control to the application.  In
+addition, event sources that need to poll for events can call
+\fBTcl_SetMaxBlockTime\fR to force the external event loop to call
+Tcl even if no events are available on the system event queue.
+.PP
+As a side effect of processing events detected in the main external
+event loop, Tcl may invoke \fBTcl_DoOneEvent\fR to start a recursive event
+loop in commands like \fBvwait\fR.  \fBTcl_DoOneEvent\fR will invoke
+the external event loop, which will result in callbacks as described
+in the preceding paragraph, which will result in calls to
+\fBTcl_ServiceAll\fR.  However, in these cases it is undesirable to
+service events in \fBTcl_ServiceAll\fR.  Servicing events there is
+unnecessary because control will immediately return to the
+external event loop and hence to \fBTcl_DoOneEvent\fR, which can
+service the events itself.  Furthermore, \fBTcl_DoOneEvent\fR is
+supposed to service only a single event, whereas \fBTcl_ServiceAll\fR
+normally services all pending events.  To handle this situation,
+\fBTcl_DoOneEvent\fR sets a flag for \fBTcl_ServiceAll\fR
+that causes it to return without servicing any events.
+This flag is called the \fIservice mode\fR;
+\fBTcl_DoOneEvent\fR restores it to its previous value before it returns.
+.PP
+In some cases, however, it may be necessary for \fBTcl_ServiceAll\fR
+to service events
+even when it has been invoked from \fBTcl_DoOneEvent\fR.  This happens
+when there is yet another recursive event loop invoked via an
+event handler called by \fBTcl_DoOneEvent\fR (such as one that is
+part of a native widget).  In this case, \fBTcl_DoOneEvent\fR may not
+have a chance to service events so \fBTcl_ServiceAll\fR must service
+them all.  Any recursive event loop that calls an external event
+loop rather than \fBTcl_DoOneEvent\fR must reset the service mode so
+that all events get processed in \fBTcl_ServiceAll\fR.  This is done
+by invoking the \fBTcl_SetServiceMode\fR procedure.  If
+\fBTcl_SetServiceMode\fR is passed \fBTCL_SERVICE_NONE\fR, then calls
+to \fBTcl_ServiceAll\fR will return immediately without processing any
+events.  If \fBTcl_SetServiceMode\fR is passed \fBTCL_SERVICE_ALL\fR,
+then calls to \fBTcl_ServiceAll\fR will behave normally.
+\fBTcl_SetServiceMode\fR returns the previous value of the service
+mode, which should be restored when the recursive loop exits.
+\fBTcl_GetServiceMode\fR returns the current value of the service
+mode.

+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+These two procedures may be used to read and modify
+Tcl variables from C code.
+\fBTcl_ObjSetVar2\fR will create a new variable or modify an existing one.
+It sets the specified variable to
+the object referenced by \fInewValuePtr\fR
+and returns a pointer to the object which is the variable's new value.
+The returned object may not be the same one
+referenced by \fInewValuePtr\fR;
+this might happen because variable traces may modify the variable's value.
+The reference count for the variable's old value is decremented
+and the reference count for its new value is incremented.
+If the new value for the variable
+is not the same one referenced by \fInewValuePtr\fR
+(perhaps as a result of a variable trace),
+then \fInewValuePtr\fR's reference count is left unchanged.
+The reference count for the returned object is not incremented
+to reflect the returned reference.
+If the caller needs to keep a reference to the object,
+say in a data structure,
+it must increment its reference count using \fBTcl_IncrRefCount\fR.
+If an error occurs in setting the variable
+(e.g. an array variable is referenced
+without giving an index into the array),
+then NULL is returned.
+.PP
+The variable name specified to \fBTcl_ObjSetVar2\fR consists of two parts.
+\fIpart1Ptr\fR contains the name of a scalar or array variable.
+If \fIpart2Ptr\fR is NULL, the variable must be a scalar.
+If \fIpart2Ptr\fR is not NULL,
+it contains the name of an element in the array named by \fIpart2Ptr\fR.
+As a special case, if the flag TCL_PARSE_PART1 is specified,
+\fIpart1Ptr\fR may contain both an array and an element name:
+if the name contains an open parenthesis and ends with a
+close parenthesis, then the value between the parentheses is
+treated as an element name (which can have any string value) and
+the characters before the first open
+parenthesis are treated as the name of an array variable.
+If the flag TCL_PARSE_PART1 is given,
+\fIpart2Ptr\fR should be NULL since the array and element names
+are taken from \fIpart2Ptr\fR.
+.PP
+The \fIflags\fR argument may be used to specify any of several
+options to the procedures.
+It consists of an OR-ed combination of any of the following
+bits:
+.TP
+\fBTCL_GLOBAL_ONLY\fR
+Under normal circumstances the procedures look up variables as follows:
+If a procedure call is active in \fIinterp\fR,
+a variable is looked up at the current level of procedure call.
+Otherwise, a variable is looked up first in the current namespace,
+then in the global namespace.
+However, if this bit is set in \fIflags\fR then the variable
+is looked up only in the global namespace
+even if there is a procedure call active.
+If both \fBTCL_GLOBAL_ONLY\fR and \fBTCL_NAMESPACE_ONLY\fR are given,
+\fBTCL_GLOBAL_ONLY\fR is ignored.
+.TP
+\fBTCL_NAMESPACE_ONLY\fR
+Under normal circumstances the procedures look up variables as follows:
+If a procedure call is active in \fIinterp\fR,
+a variable is looked up at the current level of procedure call.
+Otherwise, a variable is looked up first in the current namespace,
+then in the global namespace.
+However, if this bit is set in \fIflags\fR then the variable
+is looked up only in the current namespace
+even if there is a procedure call active.
+.TP
+\fBTCL_LEAVE_ERR_MSG\fR
+If an error is returned and this bit is set in \fIflags\fR, then
+an error message will be left in the interpreter's result,
+where it can be retrieved with \fBTcl_GetObjResult\fR
+or \fBTcl_GetStringResult\fR.
+If this flag bit isn't set then no error message is left
+and the interpreter's result will not be modified.
+.TP
+\fBTCL_APPEND_VALUE\fR
+If this bit is set then \fInewValuePtr\fR is appended to the current
+value, instead of replacing it.
+If the variable is currently undefined, then this bit is ignored.
+.TP
+\fBTCL_LIST_ELEMENT\fR
+If this bit is set, then \fInewValuePtr\fR is converted to a valid
+Tcl list element before setting (or appending to) the variable.
+A separator space is appended before the new list element unless
+the list element is going to be the first element in a list or
+sublist (i.e. the variable's current value is empty, or contains
+the single character ``{'', or ends in `` }'').
+.TP
+\fBTCL_PARSE_PART1\fR
+If this bit is set,
+then \fBTcl_ObjGetVar2\fR and \fBTcl_ObjSetVar2\fR
+will parse \fIpart1Ptr\fR
+to obtain both an array name and an element name.
+If the name in \fIpart1Ptr\fR contains an open parenthesis
+and ends with a close parenthesis,
+the name is treated as the name of an element of an array;
+otherwise, the name in \fIpart1Ptr\fR
+is interpreted as the name of a scalar variable.
+When this bit is set,
+\fIpart2Ptr\fR is ignored.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_ObjGetVar2\fR returns the value of the specified variable.
+Its arguments are treated the same way as those for \fBTcl_ObjSetVar2\fR.
+It returns a pointer to the object which is the variable's value.
+The reference count for the returned object is not incremented.
+If the caller needs to keep a reference to the object,
+say in a data structure,
+it must increment the reference count using \fBTcl_IncrRefCount\fR.
+If an error occurs in setting the variable
+(e.g. an array variable is referenced
+without giving an index into the array),
+then NULL is returned.

+This man page presents an overview of Tcl objects and how they are used.
+It also describes generic procedures for managing Tcl objects.
+These procedures are used to create and copy objects,
+and increment and decrement the count of references (pointers) to objects.
+The procedures are used in conjunction with ones
+that operate on specific types of objects such as
+\fBTcl_GetIntFromObj\fR and \fBTcl_ListObjAppendElement\fR.
+The individual procedures are described along with the data structures
+they manipulate.
+.PP
+Tcl's \fIdual-ported\fR objects provide a general-purpose mechanism
+for storing and exchanging Tcl values.
+They largely replace the use of strings in Tcl.
+For example, they are used to store variable values,
+command arguments, command results, and scripts.
+Tcl objects behave like strings but also hold an internal representation
+that can be manipulated more efficiently.
+For example, a Tcl list is now represented as an object
+that holds the list's string representation
+as well as an array of pointers to the objects for each list element.
+Dual-ported objects avoid most runtime type conversions.
+They also improve the speed of many operations
+since an appropriate representation is immediately available.
+The compiler itself uses Tcl objects to
+cache the instruction bytecodes resulting from compiling scripts.
+.PP
+The two representations are a cache of each other and are computed lazily.
+That is, each representation is only computed when necessary,
+it is computed from the other representation,
+and, once computed, it is saved.
+In addition, a change in one representation invalidates the other one.
+As an example, a Tcl program doing integer calculations can
+operate directly on a variable's internal machine integer
+representation without having to constantly convert
+between integers and strings.
+Only when it needs a string representing the variable's value,
+say to print it,
+will the program regenerate the string representation from the integer.
+Although objects contain an internal representation,
+their semantics are defined in terms of strings:
+an up-to-date string can always be obtained,
+and any change to the object will be reflected in that string
+when the object's string representation is fetched.
+Because of this representation invalidation and regeneration,
+it is dangerous for extension writers to access
+\fBTcl_Obj\fR fields directly.
+It is better to access Tcl_Obj information using
+procedures like \fBTcl_GetStringFromObj\fR.
+.PP
+Objects are allocated on the heap
+and are referenced using a pointer to their \fBTcl_Obj\fR structure.
+Objects are shared as much as possible.
+This significantly reduces storage requirements
+because some objects such as long lists are very large.
+Also, most Tcl values are only read and never modified.
+This is especially true for procedure arguments,
+which can be shared between the caller and the called procedure.
+Assignment and argument binding is done by
+simply assigning a pointer to the value. 
+Reference counting is used to determine when it is safe to
+reclaim an object's storage.
+.PP
+Tcl objects are typed.
+An object's internal representation is controlled by its type.
+Seven types are predefined in the Tcl core
+including integer, double, list, and bytecode.
+Extension writers can extend the set of types
+by using the procedure \fBTcl_RegisterObjType\fR .
+
+.SH "THE TCL_OBJ STRUCTURE"
+.PP
+Each Tcl object is represented by a \fBTcl_Obj\fR structure
+which is defined as follows.
+.CS
+typedef struct Tcl_Obj {
+	int \fIrefCount\fR;
+	char *\fIbytes\fR;
+	int \fIlength\fR;
+	Tcl_ObjType *\fItypePtr\fR;
+	union {
+		long \fIlongValue\fR;
+		double \fIdoubleValue\fR;
+		VOID *\fIotherValuePtr\fR;
+		struct {
+			VOID *\fIptr1\fR;
+			VOID *\fIptr2\fR;
+		} \fItwoPtrValue\fR;
+	} \fIinternalRep\fR;
+} Tcl_Obj;
+.CE
+The \fIbytes\fR and the \fIlength\fR members together hold
+an object's string representation,
+which is a \fIcounted\fR or \fIbinary string\fR
+that may contain binary data with embedded null bytes.
+\fIbytes\fR points to the first byte of the string representation.
+The \fIlength\fR member gives the number of bytes.
+The byte array must always have a null after the last byte,
+at offset \fIlength\fR;
+this allows string representations that do not contain nulls
+to be treated as conventional null-terminated C strings.
+C programs use \fBTcl_GetStringFromObj\fR to get
+an object's string representation.
+If \fIbytes\fR is NULL,
+the string representation is invalid.
+.PP
+An object's type manages its internal representation.
+The member \fItypePtr\fR points to the Tcl_ObjType structure
+that describes the type.
+If \fItypePtr\fR is NULL,
+the internal representation is invalid.
+.PP
+The \fIinternalRep\fR union member holds
+an object's internal representation.
+This is either a (long) integer, a double-precision floating point number,
+a pointer to a value containing additional information
+needed by the object's type to represent the object,
+or two arbitrary pointers.
+.PP
+The \fIrefCount\fR member is used to tell when it is safe to free
+an object's storage.
+It holds the count of active references to the object.
+Maintaining the correct reference count is a key responsibility
+of extension writers.
+Reference counting is discussed below
+in the section \fBSTORAGE MANAGEMENT OF OBJECTS\fR.
+.PP
+Although extension writers can directly access
+the members of a Tcl_Obj structure,
+it is much better to use the appropriate procedures and macros.
+For example, extension writers should never
+read or update \fIrefCount\fR directly;
+they should use macros such as
+\fBTcl_IncrRefCount\fR and \fBTcl_IsShared\fR instead.
+.PP
+A key property of Tcl objects is that they hold two representations.
+An object typically starts out containing only a string representation:
+it is untyped and has a NULL \fItypePtr\fR.
+An object containing an empty string or a copy of a specified string
+is created using \fBTcl_NewObj\fR or \fBTcl_NewStringObj\fR respectively.
+An object's string value is gotten with \fBTcl_GetStringFromObj\fR
+and changed with \fBTcl_SetStringObj\fR.
+If the object is later passed to a procedure like \fBTcl_GetIntFromObj\fR
+that requires a specific internal representation,
+the procedure will create one and set the object's \fItypePtr\fR.
+The internal representation is computed from the string representation.
+An object's two representations are duals of each other:
+changes made to one are reflected in the other.
+For example, \fBTcl_ListObjReplace\fR will modify an object's
+internal representation and the next call to \fBTcl_GetStringFromObj\fR
+will reflect that change.
+.PP
+Representations are recomputed lazily for efficiency.
+A change to one representation made by a procedure
+such as \fBTcl_ListObjReplace\fR is not reflected immediately
+in the other representation.
+Instead, the other representation is marked invalid
+so that it is only regenerated if it is needed later.
+Most C programmers never have to be concerned with how this is done
+and simply use procedures such as \fBTcl_GetBooleanFromObj\fR or
+\fBTcl_ListObjIndex\fR.
+Programmers that implement their own object types
+must check for invalid representations
+and mark representations invalid when necessary.
+The procedure \fBTcl_InvalidateStringRep\fR is used
+to mark an object's string representation invalid and to
+free any storage associated with the old string representation.
+.PP
+Objects usually remain one type over their life,
+but occasionally an object must be converted from one type to another.
+For example, a C program might build up a string in an object
+with repeated calls to \fBTcl_StringObjAppend\fR,
+and then call \fBTcl_ListObjIndex\fR to extract a list element from
+the object.
+The same object holding the same string value
+can have several different internal representations
+at different times.
+Extension writers can also force an object to be converted from one type
+to another using the \fBTcl_ConvertToType\fR procedure.
+Only programmers that create new object types need to be concerned
+about how this is done.
+A procedure defined as part of the object type's implementation
+creates a new internal representation for an object
+and changes its \fItypePtr\fR.
+See the man page for \fBTcl_RegisterObjType\fR
+to see how to create a new object type.
+
+.SH "EXAMPLE OF THE LIFETIME OF AN OBJECT"
+.PP
+As an example of the lifetime of an object,
+consider the following sequence of commands:
+.CS
+\fBset x 123\fR
+.CE
+This assigns to \fIx\fR an untyped object whose
+\fIbytes\fR member points to \fB123\fR and \fIlength\fR member contains 3.
+The object's \fItypePtr\fR member is NULL.
+.CS
+\fBputs "x is $x"\fR
+.CE
+\fIx\fR's string representation is valid (since \fIbytes\fR is non-NULL)
+and is fetched for the command.
+.CS
+\fBincr x\fR
+.CE
+The \fBincr\fR command first gets an integer from \fIx\fR's object
+by calling \fBTcl_GetIntFromObj\fR.
+This procedure checks whether the object is already an integer object.
+Since it is not, it converts the object
+by setting the object's \fIinternalRep.longValue\fR member
+to the integer \fB123\fR
+and setting the object's \fItypePtr\fR
+to point to the integer Tcl_ObjType structure.
+Both representations are now valid.
+\fBincr\fR increments the object's integer internal representation
+then invalidates its string representation
+(by calling \fBTcl_InvalidateStringRep\fR)
+since the string representation
+no longer corresponds to the internal representation.
+.CS
+\fBputs "x is now $x"\fR
+.CE
+The string representation of \fIx\fR's object is needed
+and is recomputed.
+The string representation is now \fB124\fR.
+and both representations are again valid.
+
+.SH "STORAGE MANAGEMENT OF OBJECTS"
+.PP
+Tcl objects are allocated on the heap and are shared as much as possible
+to reduce storage requirements.
+Reference counting is used to determine when an object is
+no longer needed and can safely be freed.
+An object just created by \fBTcl_NewObj\fR or \fBTcl_NewStringObj\fR
+has \fIrefCount\fR 0.
+The macro \fBTcl_IncrRefCount\fR increments the reference count
+when a new reference to the object is created.
+The macro \fBTcl_DecrRefCount\fR decrements the count
+when a reference is no longer needed and,
+if the object's reference count drops to zero, frees its storage.
+An object shared by different code or data structures has
+\fIrefCount\fR greater than 1.
+Incrementing an object's reference count ensures that
+it won't be freed too early or have its value change accidently.
+.PP
+As an example, the bytecode interpreter shares argument objects
+between calling and called Tcl procedures to avoid having to copy objects.
+It assigns the call's argument objects to the procedure's
+formal parameter variables.
+In doing so, it calls \fBTcl_IncrRefCount\fR to increment
+the reference count of each argument since there is now a new
+reference to it from the formal parameter.
+When the called procedure returns,
+the interpreter calls \fBTcl_DecrRefCount\fR to decrement
+each argument's reference count.
+When an object's reference count drops to zero,
+\fBTcl_DecrRefCount\fR reclaims its storage.
+Most command procedures do not have to be concerned about
+reference counting since they use an object's value immediately
+and don't retain a pointer to the object after they return.
+However, if they do retain a pointer to an object in a data structure,
+they must be careful to increment its reference count
+since the retained pointer is a new reference.
+.PP
+Command procedures that directly modify objects
+such as those for \fBlappend\fR and \fBlinsert\fR must be careful to
+copy a shared object before changing it.
+They must first check whether the object is shared
+by calling \fBTcl_IsShared\fR.
+If the object is shared they must copy the object
+by using \fBTcl_DuplicateObj\fR;
+this returns a new duplicate of the original object
+that has \fIrefCount\fR 0.
+If the object is not shared,
+the command procedure "owns" the object and can safely modify it directly.
+For example, the following code appears in the command procedure
+that implements \fBlinsert\fR.
+This procedure modifies the list object passed to it in \fIobjv[1]\fR
+by inserting \fIobjc-3\fR new elements before \fIindex\fR.
+.CS
+listPtr = objv[1];
+if (Tcl_IsShared(listPtr)) {
+	listPtr = Tcl_DuplicateObj(listPtr);
+}
+result = Tcl_ListObjReplace(interp, listPtr, index, 0, (objc-3), &(objv[3]));
+.CE
+As another example, \fBincr\fR's command procedure
+must check whether the variable's object is shared before
+incrementing the integer in its internal representation.
+If it is shared, it needs to duplicate the object
+in order to avoid accidently changing values in other data structures.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+The procedures in this man page manage Tcl object types.
+The are used to register new object types,
+look up types,
+and force conversions from one type to another.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_RegisterObjType\fR registers a new Tcl object type
+in the table of all object types supported by Tcl.
+The argument \fItypePtr\fR points to a Tcl_ObjType structure that
+describes the new type by giving its name
+and by supplying pointers to four procedures
+that implement the type.
+If the type table already containes a type
+with the same name as in \fItypePtr\fR,
+it is replaced with the new type.
+The Tcl_ObjType structure is described
+in the section \fBTHE TCL_OBJTYPE STRUCTURE\fR below.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_GetObjType\fR returns a pointer to the Tcl_ObjType
+with name \fItypeName\fR.
+It returns NULL if no type with that name is registered.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_AppendAllObjTypes\fR appends the name of each object type
+as a list element onto the Tcl object referenced by \fIobjPtr\fR.
+The return value is \fBTCL_OK\fR unless there was an error
+converting \fIobjPtr\fR to a list object;
+in that case \fBTCL_ERROR\fR is returned.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_ConvertToType\fR converts an object from one type to another
+if possible.
+It creates a new internal representation for \fIobjPtr\fR
+appropriate for the target type \fItypePtr\fR
+and sets its \fItypePtr\fR member to that type.
+Any internal representation for \fIobjPtr\fR's old type is freed.
+If an error occurs during conversion, it returns \fBTCL_ERROR\fR
+and leaves an error message in the result object for \fIinterp\fR
+unless \fIinterp\fR is NULL.
+Otherwise, it returns \fBTCL_OK\fR.
+Passing a NULL \fIinterp\fR allows this procedure to be used
+as a test whether the conversion can be done (and in fact was done).
+
+.SH "THE TCL_OBJTYPE STRUCTURE"
+.PP
+Extension writers can define new object types by defining four
+procedures,
+initializing a Tcl_ObjType structure to describe the type,
+and calling \fBTcl_RegisterObjType\fR.
+The \fBTcl_ObjType\fR structure is defined as follows:
+.CS
+typedef struct Tcl_ObjType {
+	char *\fIname\fR;
+	Tcl_FreeInternalRepProc *\fIfreeIntRepProc\fR;
+	Tcl_DupInternalRepProc *\fIdupIntRepProc\fR;
+	Tcl_UpdateStringProc *\fIupdateStringProc\fR;
+	Tcl_SetFromAnyProc *\fIsetFromAnyProc\fR;
+} Tcl_ObjType;
+.CE
+.PP
+The \fIname\fR member describes the name of the type, e.g. \fBint\fR.
+Extension writers can look up an object type using its name
+with the \fBTcl_GetObjType\fR procedure.
+The remaining four members are pointers to procedures
+called by the generic Tcl object code:
+.PP
+The \fIsetFromAnyProc\fR member contains the address of a function
+called to create a valid internal representation
+from an object's string representation.
+.CS
+typedef int (Tcl_SetFromAnyProc) (Tcl_Interp *\fIinterp\fR, Tcl_Obj *\fIobjPtr\fR);
+.CE
+If an internal representation can't be created from the string,
+it returns \fBTCL_ERROR\fR and puts a message
+describing the error in the result object for \fIinterp\fR
+unless \fIinterp\fR is NULL.
+If \fIsetFromAnyProc\fR is successful,
+it stores the new internal representation,
+sets \fIobjPtr\fR's \fItypePtr\fR member to point to
+\fIsetFromAnyProc\fR's \fBTcl_ObjType\fR, and returns \fBTCL_OK\fR.
+Before setting the new internal representation,
+the \fIsetFromAnyProc\fR must free any internal representation
+of \fIobjPtr\fR's old type;
+it does this by calling the old type's \fIfreeIntRepProc\fR
+if it is not NULL.
+As an example, the \fIsetFromAnyProc\fR for the builtin Tcl integer type
+gets an up-to-date string representation for \fIobjPtr\fR
+by calling \fBTcl_GetStringFromObj\fR.
+It parses the string to obtain an integer and,
+if this succeeds,
+stores the integer in \fIobjPtr\fR's internal representation
+and sets \fIobjPtr\fR's \fItypePtr\fR member to point to the integer type's
+Tcl_ObjType structure.
+.PP
+The \fIupdateStringProc\fR member contains the address of a function
+called to create a valid string representation
+from an object's internal representation.
+.CS
+typedef void (Tcl_UpdateStringProc) (Tcl_Obj *\fIobjPtr\fR);
+.CE
+\fIobjPtr\fR's \fIbytes\fR member is always NULL when it is called.
+It must always set \fIbytes\fR non-NULL before returning.
+We require the string representation's byte array
+to have a null after the last byte, at offset \fIlength\fR;
+this allows string representations that do not contain null bytes
+to be treated as conventional null character-terminated C strings.
+Storage for the byte array must be allocated in the heap by \fBTcl_Alloc\fR.
+Note that \fIupdateStringProc\fRs must allocate
+enough storage for the string's bytes and the terminating null byte.
+The \fIupdateStringProc\fR for Tcl's builtin list type, for example,
+builds an array of strings for each element object
+and then calls \fBTcl_Merge\fR
+to construct a string with proper Tcl list structure.
+It stores this string as the list object's string representation.
+.PP
+The \fIdupIntRepProc\fR member contains the address of a function
+called to copy an internal representation from one object to another.
+.CS
+typedef void (Tcl_DupInternalRepProc) (Tcl_Obj *\fIsrcPtr\fR, Tcl_Obj *\fIdupPtr\fR);
+.CE
+\fIdupPtr\fR's internal representation is made a copy of \fIsrcPtr\fR's
+internal representation.
+Before the call,
+\fIsrcPtr\fR's internal representation is valid and \fIdupPtr\fR's is not.
+\fIsrcPtr\fR's object type determines what
+copying its internal representation means.
+For example, the \fIdupIntRepProc\fR for the Tcl integer type
+simply copies an integer.
+The builtin list type's \fIdupIntRepProc\fR
+allocates a new array that points at the original element objects;
+the elements are shared between the two lists
+(and their reference counts are incremented to reflect the new references).
+.PP
+The \fIfreeIntRepProc\fR member contains the address of a function
+that is called when an object is freed.
+.CS
+typedef void (Tcl_FreeInternalRepProc) (Tcl_Obj *\fIobjPtr\fR);
+.CE
+The \fIfreeIntRepProc\fR function can deallocate the storage
+for the object's internal representation
+and do other type-specific processing necessary when an object is freed.
+For example, Tcl list objects have an \fIinternalRep.otherValuePtr\fR
+that points to an array of pointers to each element in the list.
+The list type's \fIfreeIntRepProc\fR decrements
+the reference count for each element object
+(since the list will no longer refer to those objects),
+then deallocates the storage for the array of pointers.
+The \fIfreeIntRepProc\fR member can be set to NULL
+to indicate that the internal representation does not require freeing.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+The Tcl channel mechanism provides a device-independent and
+platform-independent mechanism for performing buffered input
+and output operations on a variety of file, socket, and device
+types.
+The channel mechanism is extensible to new channel types, by
+providing a low level channel driver for the new type; the channel driver
+interface is described in the manual entry for \fBTcl_CreateChannel\fR. The
+channel mechanism provides a buffering scheme modelled after
+Unix's standard I/O, and it also allows for nonblocking I/O on
+channels.
+.PP
+The procedures described in this manual entry comprise the C APIs of the
+generic layer of the channel architecture. For a description of the channel
+driver architecture and how to implement channel drivers for new types of
+channels, see the manual entry for \fBTcl_CreateChannel\fR.
+
+.SH TCL_OPENFILECHANNEL
+.PP
+\fBTcl_OpenFileChannel\fR opens a file specified by \fIfileName\fR and
+returns a channel handle that can be used to perform input and output on
+the file. This API is modelled after the \fBfopen\fR procedure of
+the Unix standard I/O library.
+The syntax and meaning of all arguments is similar to those
+given in the Tcl \fBopen\fR command when opening a file.
+If an error occurs while opening the channel, \fBTcl_OpenFileChannel\fR
+returns NULL and records a POSIX error code that can be
+retrieved with \fBTcl_GetErrno\fR.
+In addition, if \fIinterp\fR is non-NULL, \fBTcl_OpenFileChannel\fR
+leaves an error message in \fIinterp->result\fR after any error.
+.PP
+The newly created channel is not registered in the supplied interpreter; to
+register it, use \fBTcl_RegisterChannel\fR, described below.
+If one of the standard channels, \fBstdin, stdout\fR or \fBstderr\fR was
+previously closed, the act of creating the new channel also assigns it as a
+replacement for the standard channel.
+
+.SH TCL_OPENCOMMANDCHANNEL
+.PP
+\fBTcl_OpenCommandChannel\fR provides a C-level interface to the
+functions of the \fBexec\fR and \fBopen\fR commands.
+It creates a sequence of subprocesses specified
+by the \fIargv\fR and \fIargc\fR arguments and returns a channel that can
+be used to communicate with these subprocesses.
+The \fIflags\fR argument indicates what sort of communication will
+exist with the command pipeline.
+.PP
+If the \fBTCL_STDIN\fR flag is set then the standard input for the
+first subprocess will be tied to the channel: writing to the channel
+will provide input to the subprocess.  If \fBTCL_STDIN\fR is not set,
+then standard input for the first subprocess will be the same as this
+application's standard input.  If \fBTCL_STDOUT\fR is set then
+standard output from the last subprocess can be read from the channel;
+otherwise it goes to this application's standard output.  If
+\fBTCL_STDERR\fR is set, standard error output for all subprocesses is
+returned to the channel and results in an error when the channel is
+closed; otherwise it goes to this application's standard error.  If
+\fBTCL_ENFORCE_MODE\fR is not set, then \fIargc\fR and \fIargv\fR can
+redirect the stdio handles to override \fBTCL_STDIN\fR,
+\fBTCL_STDOUT\fR, and \fBTCL_STDERR\fR; if it is set, then it is an
+error for argc and argv to override stdio channels for which
+\fBTCL_STDIN\fR, \fBTCL_STDOUT\fR, and \fBTCL_STDERR\fR have been set.
+.PP
+If an error occurs while opening the channel, \fBTcl_OpenCommandChannel\fR
+returns NULL and records a POSIX error code that can be retrieved with
+\fBTcl_GetErrno\fR.
+In addition, \fBTcl_OpenCommandChannel\fR leaves an error message in
+\fIinterp->result\fR if \fIinterp\fR is not NULL.
+.PP
+The newly created channel is not registered in the supplied interpreter; to
+register it, use \fBTcl_RegisterChannel\fR, described below.
+If one of the standard channels, \fBstdin, stdout\fR or \fBstderr\fR was
+previously closed, the act of creating the new channel also assigns it as a
+replacement for the standard channel.
+
+.SH TCL_MAKEFILECHANNEL
+.PP
+\fBTcl_MakeFileChannel\fR makes a \fBTcl_Channel\fR from an existing,
+platform-specific, file handle.
+The newly created channel is not registered in the supplied interpreter; to
+register it, use \fBTcl_RegisterChannel\fR, described below.
+If one of the standard channels, \fBstdin, stdout\fR or \fBstderr\fR was
+previously closed, the act of creating the new channel also assigns it as a
+replacement for the standard channel.
+
+.SH TCL_GETCHANNEL
+.PP
+\fBTcl_GetChannel\fR returns a channel given the \fIchannelName\fR used to
+create it with \fBTcl_CreateChannel\fR and a pointer to a Tcl interpreter in
+\fIinterp\fR. If a channel by that name is not registered in that interpreter,
+the procedure returns NULL. If the \fImode\fR argument is not NULL, it
+points at an integer variable that will receive an OR-ed combination of
+\fBTCL_READABLE\fR and \fBTCL_WRITABLE\fR describing whether the channel is
+open for reading and writing.
+
+.SH TCL_REGISTERCHANNEL
+.PP
+\fBTcl_RegisterChannel\fR adds a channel to the set of channels accessible
+in \fIinterp\fR. After this call, Tcl programs executing in that
+interpreter can refer to the channel in input or output operations using
+the name given in the call to \fBTcl_CreateChannel\fR.  After this call,
+the channel becomes the property of the interpreter, and the caller should
+not call \fBTcl_Close\fR for the channel; the channel will be closed
+automatically when it is unregistered from the interpreter.
+.PP
+Code executing outside of any Tcl interpreter can call
+\fBTcl_RegisterChannel\fR with \fIinterp\fR as NULL, to indicate that it
+wishes to hold a reference to this channel. Subsequently, the channel can
+be registered in a Tcl interpreter and it will only be closed when the
+matching number of calls to \fBTcl_UnregisterChannel\fR have been made.
+This allows code executing outside of any interpreter to safely hold a
+reference to a channel that is also registered in a Tcl interpreter.
+
+.SH TCL_UNREGISTERCHANNEL
+.PP
+\fBTcl_UnregisterChannel\fR removes a channel from the set of channels
+accessible in \fIinterp\fR. After this call, Tcl programs will no longer be
+able to use the channel's name to refer to the channel in that interpreter.
+If this operation removed the last registration of the channel in any
+interpreter, the channel is also closed and destroyed.
+.PP
+Code not associated with a Tcl interpreter can call
+\fBTcl_UnregisterChannel\fR with \fIinterp\fR as NULL, to indicate to Tcl
+that it no longer holds a reference to that channel. If this is the last
+reference to the channel, it will now be closed.
+
+.SH TCL_CLOSE
+.PP
+\fBTcl_Close\fR destroys the channel \fIchannel\fR, which must denote a
+currently open channel. The channel should not be registered in any
+interpreter when \fBTcl_Close\fR is called. Buffered output is flushed to
+the channel's output device prior to destroying the channel, and any
+buffered input is discarded.  If this is a blocking channel, the call does
+not return until all buffered data is successfully sent to the channel's
+output device.  If this is a nonblocking channel and there is buffered
+output that cannot be written without blocking, the call returns
+immediately; output is flushed in the background and the channel will be
+closed once all of the buffered data has been output.  In this case errors
+during flushing are not reported.
+.PP
+If the channel was closed successfully, \fBTcl_Close\fR returns \fBTCL_OK\fR.
+If an error occurs, \fBTcl_Close\fR returns \fBTCL_ERROR\fR and records a
+POSIX error code that can be retrieved with \fBTcl_GetErrno\fR.
+If the channel is being closed synchronously and an error occurs during
+closing of the channel and \fIinterp\fR is not NULL, an error message is
+left in \fIinterp->result\fR.
+.PP
+Note: it is not safe to call \fBTcl_Close\fR on a channel that has been
+registered using \fBTcl_RegisterChannel\fR; see the documentation for
+\fBTcl_RegisterChannel\fR, above, for details. If the channel has ever been
+given as the \fBchan\fR argument in a call to \fBTcl_RegisterChannel\fR,
+you should instead use \fBTcl_UnregisterChannel\fR, which will internally
+call \fBTcl_Close\fR when all calls to \fBTcl_RegisterChannel\fR have been
+matched by corresponding calls to \fBTcl_UnregisterChannel\fR.
+
+.SH TCL_READ
+.PP
+\fBTcl_Read\fR consumes up to \fItoRead\fR bytes of data from
+\fIchannel\fR and stores it at \fIbuf\fR.
+The return value of \fBTcl_Read\fR is the number of characters written
+at \fIbuf\fR.
+The buffer produced by \fBTcl_Read\fR is not NULL terminated. Its contents
+are valid from the zeroth position up to and excluding the position
+indicated by the return value.
+If an error occurs, the return value is -1 and \fBTcl_Read\fR records
+a POSIX error code that can be retrieved with \fBTcl_GetErrno\fR.
+.PP
+The return value may be smaller than the value of \fItoRead\fR, indicating
+that less data than requested was available, also called a \fIshort
+read\fR.
+In blocking mode, this can only happen on an end-of-file.
+In nonblocking mode, a short read can also occur if there is not
+enough input currently available:  \fBTcl_Read\fR returns a short
+count rather than waiting for more data.
+.PP
+If the channel is in blocking mode, a return value of zero indicates an end
+of file condition. If the channel is in nonblocking mode, a return value of
+zero indicates either that no input is currently available or an end of
+file condition. Use \fBTcl_Eof\fR and \fBTcl_InputBlocked\fR
+to tell which of these conditions actually occurred.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_Read\fR translates platform-specific end-of-line representations
+into the canonical \fB\en\fR internal representation according to the
+current end-of-line recognition mode. End-of-line recognition and the
+various platform-specific modes are described in the manual entry for the
+Tcl \fBfconfigure\fR command.
+
+.SH TCL_GETS AND TCL_GETSOBJ
+.PP
+\fBTcl_Gets\fR reads a line of input from a channel and appends all of
+the characters of the line except for the terminating end-of-line character(s)
+to the dynamic string given by \fIdsPtr\fR.
+The end-of-line character(s) are read and discarded.
+.PP
+If a line was successfully read, the return value is greater than or
+equal to zero, and it indicates the number of characters stored
+in the dynamic string.
+If an error occurs, \fBTcl_Gets\fR returns -1 and records a POSIX error
+code that can be retrieved with \fBTcl_GetErrno\fR.
+\fBTcl_Gets\fR also returns -1 if the end of the file is reached;
+the \fBTcl_Eof\fR procedure can be used to distinguish an error
+from an end-of-file condition.
+.PP
+If the channel is in nonblocking mode, the return value can also
+be -1 if no data was available or the data that was available
+did not contain an end-of-line character.
+When -1 is returned, the \fBTcl_InputBlocked\fR procedure may be
+invoked to determine if the channel is blocked because of input
+unavailability.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_GetsObj\fR is the same as \fBTcl_Gets\fR except the resulting
+characters are appended to a Tcl object \fBlineObjPtr\fR rather than a
+dynamic string.
+.SH TCL_WRITE
+.PP
+\fBTcl_Write\fR accepts \fItoWrite\fR bytes of data at \fIbuf\fR for output
+on \fIchannel\fR. This data may not appear on the output device
+immediately. If the data should appear immediately, call \fBTcl_Flush\fR
+after the call to \fBTcl_Write\fR, or set the \fB-buffering\fR option on
+the channel to \fBnone\fR. If you wish the data to appear as soon as an end
+of line is accepted for output, set the \fB\-buffering\fR option on the
+channel to \fBline\fR mode.
+.PP
+The \fItoWrite\fR argument specifies how many bytes of data are provided in
+the \fIbuf\fR argument. If it is negative, \fBTcl_Write\fR expects the data
+to be NULL terminated and it outputs everything up to the NULL.
+.PP
+The return value of \fBTcl_Write\fR is a count of how many
+characters were accepted for output to the channel. This is either equal to
+\fItoWrite\fR or -1 to indicate that an error occurred.
+If an error occurs, \fBTcl_Write\fR also records a POSIX error code
+that may be retrieved with \fBTcl_GetErrno\fR.
+.PP
+Newline characters in the output data are translated to platform-specific
+end-of-line sequences according to the \fB\-translation\fR option for
+the channel.
+
+.SH TCL_FLUSH
+.PP
+\fBTcl_Flush\fR causes all of the buffered output data for \fIchannel\fR
+to be written to its underlying file or device as soon as possible.
+If the channel is in blocking mode, the call does not return until
+all the buffered data has been sent to the channel or some error occurred.
+The call returns immediately if the channel is nonblocking; it starts
+a background flush that will write the buffered data to the channel
+eventually, as fast as the channel is able to absorb it.
+.PP
+The return value is normally \fBTCL_OK\fR.
+If an error occurs, \fBTcl_Flush\fR returns \fBTCL_ERROR\fR and
+records a POSIX error code that can be retrieved with \fBTcl_GetErrno\fR.
+
+.SH TCL_SEEK
+.PP
+\fBTcl_Seek\fR moves the access point in \fIchannel\fR where subsequent
+data will be read or written. Buffered output is flushed to the channel and
+buffered input is discarded, prior to the seek operation.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_Seek\fR normally returns the new access point.
+If an error occurs, \fBTcl_Seek\fR returns -1 and records a POSIX error
+code that can be retrieved with \fBTcl_GetErrno\fR.
+After an error, the access point may or may not have been moved.
+
+.SH TCL_TELL
+.PP
+\fBTcl_Tell\fR returns the current access point for a channel. The returned
+value is -1 if the channel does not support seeking.
+
+.SH TCL_GETCHANNELOPTION
+.PP
+\fBTcl_GetChannelOption\fR retrieves, in \fIdsPtr\fR, the value of one of
+the options currently in effect for a channel, or a list of all options and
+their values.  The \fIchannel\fR argument identifies the channel for which
+to query an option or retrieve all options and their values.
+If \fIoptionName\fR is not NULL, it is the name of the
+option to query; the option's value is copied to the Tcl dynamic string
+denoted by \fIoptionValue\fR. If
+\fIoptionName\fR is NULL, the function stores an alternating list of option
+names and their values in \fIoptionValue\fR, using a series of calls to
+\fBTcl_DStringAppendElement\fR. The various preexisting options and
+their possible values are described in the manual entry for the Tcl
+\fBfconfigure\fR command. Other options can be added by each channel type.
+These channel type specific options are described in the manual entry for
+the Tcl command that creates a channel of that type; for example, the
+additional options for TCP based channels are described in the manual entry
+for the Tcl \fBsocket\fR command.
+The procedure normally returns \fBTCL_OK\fR. If an error occurs, it returns
+\fBTCL_ERROR\fR and calls \fBTcl_SetErrno\fR to store an appropriate POSIX
+error code.
+
+.SH TCL_SETCHANNELOPTION
+.PP
+\fBTcl_SetChannelOption\fR sets a new value for an option on \fIchannel\fR.
+\fIOptionName\fR is the option to set and \fInewValue\fR is the value to
+set.
+The procedure normally returns \fBTCL_OK\fR.  If an error occurs,
+it returns \fBTCL_ERROR\fR;  in addition, if \fIinterp\fR is non-NULL,
+\fBTcl_SetChannelOption\fR leaves an error message in \fIinterp->result\fR.
+
+.SH TCL_EOF
+.PP
+\fBTcl_Eof\fR returns a nonzero value if \fIchannel\fR encountered
+an end of file during the last input operation.
+
+.SH TCL_INPUTBLOCKED
+.PP
+\fBTcl_InputBlocked\fR returns a nonzero value if \fIchannel\fR is in
+nonblocking mode and the last input operation returned less data than
+requested because there was insufficient data available.
+The call always returns zero if the channel is in blocking mode.
+
+.SH TCL_INPUTBUFFERED
+.PP
+\fBTcl_InputBuffered\fR returns the number of bytes of input currently
+buffered in the internal buffers for a channel. If the channel is not open
+for reading, this function always returns zero.
+
+.VS
+.SH "PLATFORM ISSUES"
+.PP
+The handles returned from \fBTcl_GetChannelHandle\fR depend on the
+platform and the channel type.  On Unix platforms, the handle is
+always a Unix file descriptor as returned from the \fBopen\fR system
+call.  On Windows platforms, the handle is a file \fBHANDLE\fR when
+the channel was created with \fBTcl_OpenFileChannel\fR,
+\fBTcl_OpenCommandChannel\fR, or \fBTcl_MakeFileChannel\fR.  Other
+channel types may return a different type of handle on Windows
+platforms.  On the Macintosh platform, the handle is a file reference
+number as returned from \fBHOpenDF\fR.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+These functions are convenience procedures for creating
+channels that communicate over TCP sockets.
+The operations on a channel
+are described in the manual entry for \fBTcl_OpenFileChannel\fR.
+
+.SH TCL_OPENTCPCLIENT
+.PP
+\fBTcl_OpenTcpClient\fR opens a client TCP socket connected to a \fIport\fR
+on a specific \fIhost\fR, and returns a channel that can be used to
+communicate with the server. The host to connect to can be specified either
+as a domain name style name (e.g. \fBwww.sunlabs.com\fR), or as a string
+containing the alphanumeric representation of its four-byte address (e.g.
+\fB127.0.0.1\fR). Use the string \fBlocalhost\fR to connect to a TCP socket on
+the host on which the function is invoked.
+.PP
+The \fImyaddr\fR and \fImyport\fR arguments allow a client to specify an
+address for the local end of the connection.  If \fImyaddr\fR is NULL, then
+an interface is chosen automatically by the operating system.
+If \fImyport\fR is 0, then a port number is chosen at random by
+the operating system.
+.PP
+If \fIasync\fR is zero, the call to \fBTcl_OpenTcpClient\fR returns only
+after the client socket has either successfully connected to the server, or
+the attempted connection has failed.
+If \fIasync\fR is nonzero the socket is connected asynchronously and the
+returned channel may not yet be connected to the server when the call to
+\fBTcl_OpenTcpClient\fR returns. If the channel is in blocking mode and an
+input or output operation is done on the channel before the connection is
+completed or fails, that operation will wait until the connection either
+completes successfully or fails. If the channel is in nonblocking mode, the
+input or output operation will return immediately and a subsequent call to
+\fBTcl_InputBlocked\fR on the channel will return nonzero.
+.PP
+The returned channel is opened for reading and writing.
+If an error occurs in opening the socket, \fBTcl_OpenTcpClient\fR returns
+NULL and records a POSIX error code that can be retrieved
+with \fBTcl_GetErrno\fR.
+In addition, if \fIinterp\fR is non-NULL, an error message
+is left in \fIinterp->result\fR.
+.PP
+The newly created channel is not registered in the supplied interpreter; to
+register it, use \fBTcl_RegisterChannel\fR.
+If one of the standard channels, \fBstdin, stdout\fR or \fBstderr\fR was
+previously closed, the act of creating the new channel also assigns it as a
+replacement for the standard channel.
+
+.SH TCL_MAKETCPCLIENTCHANNEL
+.PP
+\fBTcl_MakeTcpClientChannel\fR creates a \fBTcl_Channel\fR around an
+existing, platform specific, handle for a client TCP socket.
+.PP
+The newly created channel is not registered in the supplied interpreter; to
+register it, use \fBTcl_RegisterChannel\fR.
+If one of the standard channels, \fBstdin, stdout\fR or \fBstderr\fR was
+previously closed, the act of creating the new channel also assigns it as a
+replacement for the standard channel.
+
+.SH TCL_OPENTCPSERVER
+.PP
+\fBTcl_OpenTcpServer\fR opens a TCP socket on the local host on a specified
+\fIport\fR and uses the Tcl event mechanism to accept requests from clients
+to connect to it.  The \fImyaddr\fP argument specifies the network interface.
+If \fImyaddr\fP is NULL the special address INADDR_ANY should be used to
+allow connections from any network interface.
+Each time a client connects to this socket, Tcl creates a channel
+for the new connection and invokes \fIproc\fR with information about
+the channel.  \fIProc\fR must match the following prototype:
+.CS
+typedef void Tcl_TcpAcceptProc(
+	ClientData \fIclientData\fR,
+	Tcl_Channel \fIchannel\fR,
+	char *\fIhostName\fR,
+	int \fIport\fP);
+.CE
+.PP
+The \fIclientData\fR argument will be the same as the \fIclientData\fR
+argument to \fBTcl_OpenTcpServer\fR, \fIchannel\fR will be the handle
+for the new channel, \fIhostName\fR points to a string containing
+the name of the client host making the connection, and \fIport\fP
+will contain the client's port number.
+The new channel
+is opened for both input and output. 
+If \fIproc\fR raises an error, the connection is closed automatically.
+\fIProc\fR has no return value, but if it wishes to reject the
+connection it can close \fIchannel\fR.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_OpenTcpServer\fR normally returns a pointer to a channel
+representing the server socket.
+If an error occurs, \fBTcl_OpenTcpServer\fR returns NULL and
+records a POSIX error code that can be retrieved with \fBTcl_GetErrno\fR.
+In addition, if \fIinterp->result\fR is non-NULL, an error message
+is left in \fIinterp->result\fR.
+.PP
+The channel returned by \fBTcl_OpenTcpServer\fR cannot be used for
+either input or output.
+It is simply a handle for the socket used to accept connections.
+The caller can close the channel to shut down the server and disallow
+further connections from new clients.
+.PP
+TCP server channels operate correctly only in applications that dispatch
+events through \fBTcl_DoOneEvent\fR or through Tcl commands such as
+\fBvwait\fR; otherwise Tcl will never notice that a connection request from
+a remote client is pending.
+.PP

+.AP Tcl_FreeProc *freeProc in
+Procedure to invoke to free \fIclientData\fR.
+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+These three procedures help implement a simple reference count mechanism
+for managing storage.  They are designed to solve a problem
+having to do with widget deletion, but are also useful in many other
+situations.  When a widget is deleted, its
+widget record (the structure holding information specific to the
+widget) must be returned to the storage allocator.
+However, it's possible that the widget record is in active use
+by one of the procedures on the stack at the time of the deletion.
+This can happen, for example, if the command associated with a button
+widget causes the button to be destroyed:  an X event causes an
+event-handling C procedure in the button to be invoked, which in
+turn causes the button's associated Tcl command to be executed,
+which in turn causes the button to be deleted, which in turn causes
+the button's widget record to be de-allocated.
+Unfortunately, when the Tcl command returns, the button's
+event-handling procedure will need to reference the
+button's widget record.
+Because of this, the widget record must not be freed as part of the
+deletion, but must be retained until the event-handling procedure has
+finished with it.
+In other situations where the widget is deleted, it may be possible
+to free the widget record immediately.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_Preserve\fR and \fBTcl_Release\fR
+implement short-term reference counts for their \fIclientData\fR
+argument.
+The \fIclientData\fR argument identifies an object and usually
+consists of the address of a structure.
+The reference counts guarantee that an object will not be freed
+until each call to \fBTcl_Preserve\fR for the object has been
+matched by calls to \fBTcl_Release\fR.
+There may be any number of unmatched \fBTcl_Preserve\fR calls
+in effect at once.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_EventuallyFree\fR is invoked to free up its \fIclientData\fR
+argument.
+It checks to see if there are unmatched \fBTcl_Preserve\fR calls
+for the object.
+If not, then \fBTcl_EventuallyFree\fR calls \fIfreeProc\fR immediately.
+Otherwise \fBTcl_EventuallyFree\fR records the fact that \fIclientData\fR
+needs eventually to be freed.
+When all calls to \fBTcl_Preserve\fR have been matched with
+calls to \fBTcl_Release\fR then \fIfreeProc\fR will be called by
+\fBTcl_Release\fR to do the cleanup.
+.PP
+All the work of freeing the object is carried out by \fIfreeProc\fR.
+\fIFreeProc\fR must have arguments and result that match the
+type \fBTcl_FreeProc\fR:
+.CS
+typedef void Tcl_FreeProc(char *\fIblockPtr\fR);
+.CE
+The \fIblockPtr\fR argument to \fIfreeProc\fR will be the
+same as the \fIclientData\fR argument to \fBTcl_EventuallyFree\fR.
+The type of \fIblockPtr\fR (\fBchar *\fR) is different than the type of the
+\fIclientData\fR argument to \fBTcl_EventuallyFree\fR for historical
+reasons, but the value is the same.
+.PP
+This mechanism can be used to solve the problem described above
+by placing \fBTcl_Preserve\fR and \fBTcl_Release\fR calls around
+actions that may cause undesired storage re-allocation.  The
+mechanism is intended only for short-term use (i.e. while procedures
+are pending on the stack);  it will not work efficiently as a
+mechanism for long-term reference counts.
+The implementation does not depend in any way on the internal
+structure of the objects being freed;  it keeps the reference
+counts in a separate structure.

+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+\fBTcl_RegExpMatch\fR determines whether its \fIpattern\fR argument
+matches \fIregexp\fR, where \fIregexp\fR is interpreted
+as a regular expression using the same rules as for the
+\fBregexp\fR Tcl command.
+If there is a match then \fBTcl_RegExpMatch\fR returns 1.
+If there is no match then \fBTcl_RegExpMatch\fR returns 0.
+If an error occurs in the matching process (e.g. \fIpattern\fR
+is not a valid regular expression) then \fBTcl_RegExpMatch\fR
+returns \-1 and leaves an error message in \fIinterp->result\fR.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_RegExpCompile\fR, \fBTcl_RegExpExec\fR, and \fBTcl_RegExpRange\fR
+provide lower-level access to the regular expression pattern matcher.
+\fBTcl_RegExpCompile\fR compiles a regular expression string into
+the internal form used for efficient pattern matching.
+The return value is a token for this compiled form, which can be
+used in subsequent calls to \fBTcl_RegExpExec\fR or \fBTcl_RegExpRange\fR.
+If an error occurs while compiling the regular expression then
+\fBTcl_RegExpCompile\fR returns NULL and leaves an error message
+in \fIinterp->result\fR.
+Note:  the return value from \fBTcl_RegExpCompile\fR is only valid
+up to the next call to \fBTcl_RegExpCompile\fR;  it is not safe to
+retain these values for long periods of time.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_RegExpExec\fR executes the regular expression pattern matcher.
+It returns 1 if \fIstring\fR contains a range of characters that
+match \fIregexp\fR, 0 if no match is found, and
+\-1 if an error occurs.
+In the case of an error, \fBTcl_RegExpExec\fR leaves an error
+message in \fIinterp->result\fR.
+When searching a string for multiple matches of a pattern,
+it is important to distinguish between the start of the original
+string and the start of the current search.
+For example, when searching for the second occurrence of a
+match, the \fIstring\fR argument might point to the character
+just after the first match;  however, it is important for the
+pattern matcher to know that this is not the start of the entire string,
+so that it doesn't allow \fB^\fR atoms in the pattern to match.
+The \fIstart\fR argument provides this information by pointing
+to the start of the overall string containing \fIstring\fR.
+\fIStart\fR will be less than or equal to \fIstring\fR;  if it
+is less than \fIstring\fR then no \fB^\fR matches will be allowed.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_RegExpRange\fR may be invoked after \fBTcl_RegExpExec\fR
+returns;  it provides detailed information about what ranges of
+the string matched what parts of the pattern.
+\fBTcl_RegExpRange\fR returns a pair of pointers in \fI*startPtr\fR
+and \fI*endPtr\fR that identify a range of characters in
+the source string for the most recent call to \fBTcl_RegExpExec\fR.
+\fIIndex\fR indicates which of several ranges is desired:
+if \fIindex\fR is 0, information is returned about the overall range
+of characters that matched the entire pattern;  otherwise,
+information is returned about the range of characters that matched the
+\fIindex\fR'th parenthesized subexpression within the pattern.
+If there is no range corresponding to \fIindex\fR then NULL
+is stored in \fI*firstPtr\fR and \fI*lastPtr\fR.

+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+The procedures described here are utilities for manipulating the
+result value in a Tcl interpreter.
+The interpreter result may be either a Tcl object or a string.
+For example, \fBTcl_SetObjResult\fR and \fBTcl_SetResult\fR
+set the interpreter result to, respectively, an object and a string.
+Similarly, \fBTcl_GetObjResult\fR and \fBTcl_GetStringResult\fR
+return the interpreter result as an object and as a string.
+The procedures always keep the string and object forms
+of the interpreter result consistent.
+For example, if \fBTcl_SetObjResult\fR is called to set
+the result to an object,
+then \fBTcl_GetStringResult\fR is called,
+it will return the object's string value.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_SetObjResult\fR
+arranges for \fIobjPtr\fR to be the result for \fIinterp\fR,
+replacing any existing result.
+The result is left pointing to the object
+referenced by \fIobjPtr\fR.
+\fIobjPtr\fR's reference count is incremented
+since there is now a new reference to it from \fIinterp\fR.
+The reference count for any old result object
+is decremented and the old result object is freed if no
+references to it remain.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_GetObjResult\fR returns the result for \fIinterp\fR as an object.
+The object's reference count is not incremented;
+if the caller needs to retain a long-term pointer to the object
+they should use \fBTcl_IncrRefCount\fR to increment its reference count
+in order to keep it from being freed too early or accidently changed.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_SetResult\fR
+arranges for \fIstring\fR to be the result for the current Tcl
+command in \fIinterp\fR, replacing any existing result.
+The \fIfreeProc\fR argument specifies how to manage the storage
+for the \fIstring\fR argument;
+it is discussed in the section
+\fBTHE TCL_FREEPROC ARGUMENT TO TCL_SETRESULT\fR below.
+If \fIstring\fR is \fBNULL\fR, then \fIfreeProc\fR is ignored
+and \fBTcl_SetResult\fR
+re-initializes \fIinterp\fR's result to point to an empty string.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_GetStringResult\fR returns the result for \fIinterp\fR as an string.
+If the result was set to an object by a \fBTcl_SetObjResult\fR call,
+the object form will be converted to a string and returned.
+If the object's string representation contains null bytes,
+this conversion will lose information.
+For this reason, programmers are encouraged to
+write their code to use the new object API procedures
+and to call \fBTcl_GetObjResult\fR instead.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_ResetResult\fR clears the result for \fIinterp\fR
+and leaves the result in its normal empty initialized state.
+If the result is an object,
+its reference count is decremented and the result is left
+pointing to an unshared object representing an empty string.
+If the result is a dynamically allocated string, its memory is free*d
+and the result is left as a empty string.
+\fBTcl_ResetResult\fR also clears the error state managed by
+\fBTcl_AddErrorInfo\fR, \fBTcl_AddObjErrorInfo\fR,
+and \fBTcl_SetErrorCode\fR.
+
+.SH OLD STRING PROCEDURES
+.PP
+Use of the following procedures is deprecated
+since they manipulate the Tcl result as a string.
+Procedures such as \fBTcl_SetObjResult\fR
+that manipulate the result as an object
+can be significantly more efficient.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_AppendResult\fR makes it easy to build up Tcl results in pieces.
+It takes each of its \fIstring\fR arguments and appends them in order
+to the current result associated with \fIinterp\fR.
+If the result is in its initialized empty state (e.g. a command procedure
+was just invoked or \fBTcl_ResetResult\fR was just called),
+then \fBTcl_AppendResult\fR sets the result to the concatenation of
+its \fIstring\fR arguments.
+\fBTcl_AppendResult\fR may be called repeatedly as additional pieces
+of the result are produced.
+\fBTcl_AppendResult\fR takes care of all the
+storage management issues associated with managing \fIinterp\fR's
+result, such as allocating a larger result area if necessary.
+It also converts the current interpreter result from an object
+to a string, if necessary, before appending the argument strings.
+Any number of \fIstring\fR arguments may be passed in a single
+call; the last argument in the list must be a NULL pointer.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_AppendElement\fR is similar to \fBTcl_AppendResult\fR in
+that it allows results to be built up in pieces.
+However, \fBTcl_AppendElement\fR takes only a single \fIstring\fR
+argument and it appends that argument to the current result
+as a proper Tcl list element.
+\fBTcl_AppendElement\fR adds backslashes or braces if necessary
+to ensure that \fIinterp\fR's result can be parsed as a list and that
+\fIstring\fR will be extracted as a single element.
+Under normal conditions, \fBTcl_AppendElement\fR will add a space
+character to \fIinterp\fR's result just before adding the new
+list element, so that the list elements in the result are properly
+separated.
+However if the new list element is the first in a list or sub-list
+(i.e. \fIinterp\fR's current result is empty, or consists of the
+single character ``{'', or ends in the characters `` {'') then no
+space is added.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_FreeResult\fR performs part of the work
+of \fBTcl_ResetResult\fR.
+It frees up the memory associated with \fIinterp\fR's result.
+It also sets \fIinterp->freeProc\fR to zero, but doesn't
+change \fIinterp->result\fR or clear error state.
+\fBTcl_FreeResult\fR is most commonly used when a procedure
+is about to replace one result value with another.
+
+.SH DIRECT ACCESS TO INTERP->RESULT IS DEPRECATED
+.PP
+It used to be legal for programs to
+directly read and write \fIinterp->result\fR
+to manipulate the interpreter result.
+Direct access to \fIinterp->result\fR is now strongly deprecated
+because it can make the result's string and object forms inconsistent.
+Programs should always read the result
+using the procedures \fBTcl_GetObjResult\fR or \fBTcl_GetStringResult\fR,
+and write the result using \fBTcl_SetObjResult\fR or \fBTcl_SetResult\fR.
+
+.SH THE TCL_FREEPROC ARGUMENT TO TCL_SETRESULT
+.PP
+\fBTcl_SetResult\fR's \fIfreeProc\fR argument specifies how 
+the Tcl system is to manage the storage for the \fIstring\fR argument.
+If \fBTcl_SetResult\fR or \fBTcl_SetObjResult\fR are called
+at a time when \fIinterp\fR holds a string result,
+they do whatever is necessary to dispose of the old string result
+(see the \fBTcl_Interp\fR manual entry for details on this).
+.PP
+If \fIfreeProc\fR is \fBTCL_STATIC\fR it means that \fIstring\fR
+refers to an area of static storage that is guaranteed not to be
+modified until at least the next call to \fBTcl_Eval\fR.
+If \fIfreeProc\fR
+is \fBTCL_DYNAMIC\fR it means that \fIstring\fR was allocated with a call
+to \fBTcl_Alloc\fR and is now the property of the Tcl system.
+\fBTcl_SetResult\fR will arrange for the string's storage to be
+released by calling \fBTcl_Free\fR when it is no longer needed.
+If \fIfreeProc\fR is \fBTCL_VOLATILE\fR it means that \fIstring\fR
+points to an area of memory that is likely to be overwritten when
+\fBTcl_SetResult\fR returns (e.g. it points to something in a stack frame).
+In this case \fBTcl_SetResult\fR will make a copy of the string in
+dynamically allocated storage and arrange for the copy to be the
+result for the current Tcl command.
+.PP
+If \fIfreeProc\fR isn't one of the values \fBTCL_STATIC\fR,
+\fBTCL_DYNAMIC\fR, and \fBTCL_VOLATILE\fR, then it is the address
+of a procedure that Tcl should call to free the string.
+This allows applications to use non-standard storage allocators.
+When Tcl no longer needs the storage for the string, it will
+call \fIfreeProc\fR. \fIFreeProc\fR should have arguments and
+result that match the type \fBTcl_FreeProc\fR:
+.CS
+typedef void Tcl_FreeProc(char *\fIblockPtr\fR);
+.CE
+When \fIfreeProc\fR is called, its \fIblockPtr\fR will be set to
+the value of \fIstring\fR passed to \fBTcl_SetResult\fR.

+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+These procedures may be used to create, modify, read, and delete
+Tcl variables from C code.
+.PP
+Note that \fBTcl_GetVar\fR and \fBTcl_SetVar\fR
+have been largely replaced by the
+object-based procedures \fBTcl_ObjGetVar2\fR and \fBTcl_ObjSetVar2\fR.
+Those object-based procedures read, modify, and create
+a variable whose name is held in a Tcl object instead of a string.
+They also return a pointer to the object
+which is the variable's value instead of returning a string.
+Operations on objects can be faster since objects
+hold an internal representation that can be manipulated more efficiently.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_SetVar\fR and \fBTcl_SetVar2\fR
+will create a new variable or modify an existing one.
+Both of these procedures set the given variable to the value
+given by \fInewValue\fR, and they return a pointer to a
+copy of the variable's new value, which is stored in Tcl's
+variable structure.
+Tcl keeps a private copy of the variable's value, so the caller
+may change \fInewValue\fR after these procedures return without
+affecting the value of the variable.
+If an error occurs in setting the variable (e.g. an array
+variable is referenced without giving an index into the array),
+they return NULL.
+.PP
+The name of the variable may be specified to
+\fBTcl_SetVar\fR and \fBTcl_SetVar2\fR in either of two ways.
+If \fBTcl_SetVar\fR is called, the variable name is given as
+a single string, \fIvarName\fR.
+If \fIvarName\fR contains an open parenthesis and ends with a
+close parenthesis, then the value between the parentheses is
+treated as an index (which can have any string value) and
+the characters before the first open
+parenthesis are treated as the name of an array variable.
+If \fIvarName\fR doesn't have parentheses as described above, then
+the entire string is treated as the name of a scalar variable.
+If \fBTcl_SetVar2\fR is called, then the array name and index
+have been separated by the caller into two separate strings,
+\fIname1\fR and \fIname2\fR respectively;  if \fIname2\fR is
+zero it means that a scalar variable is being referenced.
+.PP
+The \fIflags\fR argument may be used to specify any of several
+options to the procedures.
+It consists of an OR-ed combination of the following bits.
+Note that the flag bit TCL_PARSE_PART1 is only meaningful
+for the procedures Tcl_SetVar2 and Tcl_GetVar2.
+.TP
+\fBTCL_GLOBAL_ONLY\fR
+Under normal circumstances the procedures look up variables as follows:
+If a procedure call is active in \fIinterp\fR,
+a variable is looked up at the current level of procedure call.
+Otherwise, a variable is looked up first in the current namespace,
+then in the global namespace.
+However, if this bit is set in \fIflags\fR then the variable
+is looked up only in the global namespace
+even if there is a procedure call active.
+If both \fBTCL_GLOBAL_ONLY\fR and \fBTCL_NAMESPACE_ONLY\fR are given,
+\fBTCL_GLOBAL_ONLY\fR is ignored.
+.TP
+\fBTCL_NAMESPACE_ONLY\fR
+Under normal circumstances the procedures look up variables as follows:
+If a procedure call is active in \fIinterp\fR,
+a variable is looked up at the current level of procedure call.
+Otherwise, a variable is looked up first in the current namespace,
+then in the global namespace.
+However, if this bit is set in \fIflags\fR then the variable
+is looked up only in the current namespace
+even if there is a procedure call active.
+.TP
+\fBTCL_LEAVE_ERR_MSG\fR
+If an error is returned and this bit is set in \fIflags\fR, then
+an error message will be left in the interpreter's result,
+where it can be retrieved with \fBTcl_GetObjResult\fR
+or \fBTcl_GetStringResult\fR.
+If this flag bit isn't set then no error message is left
+and the interpreter's result will not be modified.
+.TP
+\fBTCL_APPEND_VALUE\fR
+If this bit is set then \fInewValue\fR is appended to the current
+value, instead of replacing it.
+If the variable is currently undefined, then this bit is ignored.
+.TP
+\fBTCL_LIST_ELEMENT\fR
+If this bit is set, then \fInewValue\fR is converted to a valid
+Tcl list element before setting (or appending to) the variable.
+A separator space is appended before the new list element unless
+the list element is going to be the first element in a list or
+sublist (i.e. the variable's current value is empty, or contains
+the single character ``{'', or ends in `` }'').
+.TP
+\fBTCL_PARSE_PART1\fR
+If this bit is set when calling \fITcl_SetVar2\fR and \fITcl_GetVar2\fR,
+\fIname1\fR may contain both an array and an element name:
+if the name contains an open parenthesis and ends with a
+close parenthesis, then the value between the parentheses is
+treated as an element name (which can have any string value) and
+the characters before the first open
+parenthesis are treated as the name of an array variable.
+If the flag TCL_PARSE_PART1 is given,
+\fIname2\fR should be NULL since the array and element names
+are taken from \fIname1\fR.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_GetVar\fR and \fBTcl_GetVar2\fR
+return the current value of a variable.
+The arguments to these procedures are treated in the same way
+as the arguments to \fBTcl_SetVar\fR and \fBTcl_SetVar2\fR.
+Under normal circumstances, the return value is a pointer
+to the variable's value (which is stored in Tcl's variable
+structure and will not change before the next call to \fBTcl_SetVar\fR
+or \fBTcl_SetVar2\fR).
+\fBTcl_GetVar\fR and \fBTcl_GetVar2\fR use the flag bits TCL_GLOBAL_ONLY
+and TCL_LEAVE_ERR_MSG, both of
+which have
+the same meaning as for \fBTcl_SetVar\fR.
+In addition, \fBTcl_GetVar2\fR uses the bit TCL_PARSE_PART1,
+which has the same meaning as for \fBTcl_SetVar2\fR.
+If an error occurs in reading the variable (e.g. the variable
+doesn't exist or an array element is specified for a scalar
+variable), then NULL is returned.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_UnsetVar\fR and \fBTcl_UnsetVar2\fR may be used to remove
+a variable, so that future calls to \fBTcl_GetVar\fR or \fBTcl_GetVar2\fR
+for the variable will return an error.
+The arguments to these procedures are treated in the same way
+as the arguments to \fBTcl_GetVar\fR and \fBTcl_GetVar2\fR.
+If the variable is successfully removed then TCL_OK is returned.
+If the variable cannot be removed because it doesn't exist then
+TCL_ERROR is returned.
+If an array element is specified, the given element is removed
+but the array remains.
+If an array name is specified without an index, then the entire
+array is removed.

+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+These procedures may be used to disassemble and reassemble Tcl lists.
+\fBTcl_SplitList\fR breaks a list up into its constituent elements,
+returning an array of pointers to the elements using
+\fIargcPtr\fR and \fIargvPtr\fR.
+While extracting the arguments, \fBTcl_SplitList\fR obeys the usual
+rules for backslash substitutions and braces.  The area of
+memory pointed to by \fI*argvPtr\fR is dynamically allocated;  in
+addition to the array of pointers, it
+also holds copies of all the list elements.  It is the caller's
+responsibility to free up all of this storage.
+For example, suppose that you have called \fBTcl_SplitList\fR with
+the following code:
+.CS
+int argc, code;
+char *string;
+char **argv;
+\&...
+code = Tcl_SplitList(interp, string, &argc, &argv);
+.CE
+Then you should eventually free the storage with a call like the
+following:
+.VS
+.CS
+Tcl_Free((char *) argv);
+.CE
+.VE
+.PP
+\fBTcl_SplitList\fR normally returns \fBTCL_OK\fR, which means the list was
+successfully parsed.
+If there was a syntax error in \fIlist\fR, then \fBTCL_ERROR\fR is returned
+and \fIinterp->result\fR will point to an error message describing the
+.VS
+problem (if \fIinterp\fR was not NULL).
+.VE
+If \fBTCL_ERROR\fR is returned then no memory is allocated and \fI*argvPtr\fR
+is not modified.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_Merge\fR is the inverse of \fBTcl_SplitList\fR:  it
+takes a collection of strings given by \fIargc\fR
+and \fIargv\fR and generates a result string
+that has proper list structure.
+This means that commands like \fBindex\fR may be used to
+extract the original elements again.
+In addition, if the result of \fBTcl_Merge\fR is passed to \fBTcl_Eval\fR,
+it will be parsed into \fIargc\fR words whose values will
+be the same as the \fIargv\fR strings passed to \fBTcl_Merge\fR.
+\fBTcl_Merge\fR will modify the list elements with braces and/or
+backslashes in order to produce proper Tcl list structure.
+.VS
+The result string is dynamically allocated
+using \fBTcl_Alloc\fR;  the caller must eventually release the space
+using \fBTcl_Free\fR.
+.VE
+.PP
+If the result of \fBTcl_Merge\fR is passed to \fBTcl_SplitList\fR,
+the elements returned by \fBTcl_SplitList\fR will be identical to
+those passed into \fBTcl_Merge\fR.
+However, the converse is not true:  if \fBTcl_SplitList\fR
+is passed a given string, and the resulting \fIargc\fR and
+\fIargv\fR are passed to \fBTcl_Merge\fR, the resulting string
+may not be the same as the original string passed to \fBTcl_SplitList\fR.
+This is because \fBTcl_Merge\fR may use backslashes and braces
+differently than the original string.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_ScanElement\fR and \fBTcl_ConvertElement\fR are the
+procedures that do all of the real work of \fBTcl_Merge\fR.
+\fBTcl_ScanElement\fR scans its \fIsrc\fR argument
+and determines how to use backslashes and braces
+when converting it to a list element.
+It returns an overestimate of the number of characters
+required to represent \fIsrc\fR as a list element, and
+it stores information in \fI*flagsPtr\fR that is needed
+by \fBTcl_ConvertElement\fR.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_ConvertElement\fR is a companion procedure to \fBTcl_ScanElement\fR.
+It does the actual work of converting a string to a list element.
+Its \fIflags\fR argument must be the same as the value returned
+by \fBTcl_ScanElement\fR.
+\fBTcl_ConvertElement\fR writes a proper list element to memory
+starting at *\fIdst\fR and returns a count of the total number
+of characters written, which will be no more than the result
+returned by \fBTcl_ScanElement\fR.
+\fBTcl_ConvertElement\fR writes out only the actual list element
+without any leading or trailing spaces: it is up to the caller to
+include spaces between adjacent list elements.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_ConvertElement\fR uses one of two different approaches to
+handle the special characters in \fIsrc\fR.  Wherever possible, it
+handles special characters by surrounding the string with braces.
+This produces clean-looking output, but can't be used in some situations,
+such as when \fIsrc\fR contains unmatched braces.
+In these situations, \fBTcl_ConvertElement\fR handles special
+characters by generating backslash sequences for them.
+The caller may insist on the second approach by OR-ing the
+flag value returned by \fBTcl_ScanElement\fR with
+\fBTCL_DONT_USE_BRACES\fR.
+Although this will produce an uglier result, it is useful in some
+special situations, such as when \fBTcl_ConvertElement\fR is being
+used to generate a portion of an argument for a Tcl command.
+In this case, surrounding \fIsrc\fR with curly braces would cause
+the command not to be parsed correctly.
+.PP
+.VS
+\fBTcl_ScanCountedElement\fR and \fBTcl_ConvertCountedElement\fR are
+the same as \fBTcl_ScanElement\fR and \fBTcl_ConvertElement\fR, except
+the length of string \fIsrc\fR is specified by the \fIlength\fR
+argument, and the string may contain embedded nulls.

+.AP int *argcPtr out
+Filled in with number of path elements in \fIpath\fR.
+.AP char ***argvPtr out
+\fI*argvPtr\fR will be filled in with the address of an array of

+.AP Tcl_DString *resultPtr in/out
+A pointer to an initialized \fBTcl_DString\fR to which the result of
+\fBTcl_JoinPath\fR will be appended.
+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+These procedures may be used to disassemble and reassemble file
+paths in a platform independent manner: they provide C-level access to
+the same functionality as the \fBfile split\fR, \fBfile join\fR, and
+\fBfile pathtype\fR commands.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_SplitPath\fR breaks a path into its constituent elements,
+returning an array of pointers to the elements using \fIargcPtr\fR and
+\fIargvPtr\fR.  The area of memory pointed to by \fI*argvPtr\fR is
+dynamically allocated; in addition to the array of pointers, it also
+holds copies of all the path elements.  It is the caller's
+responsibility to free all of this storage.
+For example, suppose that you have called \fBTcl_SplitPath\fR with the
+following code:
+.CS
+int argc;
+char *path;
+char **argv;
+\&...
+Tcl_SplitPath(string, &argc, &argv);
+.CE
+Then you should eventually free the storage with a call like the
+following:
+.CS
+Tcl_Free((char *) argv);
+.CE
+.PP
+\fBTcl_JoinPath\fR is the inverse of \fBTcl_SplitPath\fR: it takes a
+collection of path elements given by \fIargc\fR and \fIargv\fR and
+generates a result string that is a properly constructed path. The
+result string is appended to \fIresultPtr\fR.  \fIResultPtr\fR must
+refer to an initialized \fBTcl_DString\fR.
+.PP
+If the result of \fBTcl_SplitPath\fR is passed to \fBTcl_JoinPath\fR,
+the result will refer to the same location, but may not be in the same
+form.  This is because \fBTcl_SplitPath\fR and \fBTcl_JoinPath\fR
+eliminate duplicate path separators and return a normalized form for
+each platform.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_GetPathType\fR returns the type of the specified \fIpath\fR,
+where \fBTcl_PathType\fR is one of \fBTCL_PATH_ABSOLUTE\fR,
+\fBTCL_PATH_RELATIVE\fR, or \fBTCL_PATH_VOLUME_RELATIVE\fR.  See the
+\fBfilename\fR manual entry for a description of the path types for
+each platform.

+can't be used in safe interpreters.
+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+This procedure may be invoked to announce that a package has been
+linked statically with a Tcl application and, optionally, that it
+has already been loaded into an interpreter.
+Once \fBTcl_StaticPackage\fR has been invoked for a package, it
+may be loaded into interpreters using the \fBload\fR command.
+\fBTcl_StaticPackage\fR is normally invoked only by the \fBTcl_AppInit\fR
+procedure for the application, not by packages for themselves
+(\fBTcl_StaticPackage\fR should only be invoked for statically
+loaded packages, and code in the package itself should not need
+to know whether the package is dynamically or statically loaded).
+.PP
+When the \fBload\fR command is used later to load the package 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:
+.CS
+typedef int Tcl_PackageInitProc(Tcl_Interp *\fIinterp\fR);
+.CE
+The \fIinterp\fR argument identifies the interpreter in which the
+package is to be loaded.  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 \fIinterp->result\fR
+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.

+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+The procedures described in this manual entry allow Tcl objects to
+be manipulated as string values.  They use the internal representation
+of the object to store additional information to make the string
+manipulations more efficient.  In particular, they make a series of
+append operations efficient by allocating extra storage space for the
+string so that it doesn't have to be copied for each append.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_NewStringObj\fR and \fBTcl_SetStringObj\fR create a new object
+or modify an existing object to hold a copy of
+the string given by \fIbytes\fR and \fIlength\fR.
+\fBTcl_NewStringObj\fR returns a pointer to a newly created object
+with reference count zero.
+Both procedures set the object to hold a copy of the specified string.
+\fBTcl_SetStringObj\fR frees any old string representation
+as well as any old internal representation of the object.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_GetStringFromObj\fR returns an object's string representation.
+This is given by the returned byte pointer
+and length, which is stored in \fIlengthPtr\fR if it is non-NULL.
+If the object's string representation is invalid
+(its byte pointer is NULL),
+the string representation is regenerated from the
+object's internal representation.
+The storage referenced by the returned byte pointer
+is owned by the object manager and should not be modified by the caller.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_AppendToObj\fR appends the data given by \fIbytes\fR and
+\fIlength\fR to the object specified by \fIobjPtr\fR.  It does this
+in a way that handles repeated calls relatively efficiently (it
+overallocates the string space to avoid repeated reallocations
+and copies of object's string value).
+.PP
+\fBTcl_AppendStringsToObj\fR is similar to \fBTcl_AppendToObj\fR
+except that it can be passed more than one value to append and
+each value must be a null-terminated string (i.e. none of the
+values may contain internal null characters).  Any number of
+\fIstring\fR arguments may be provided, but the last argument
+must be a NULL pointer to indicate the end of the list.
+.PP
+The \fBTcl_SetObjLength\fR procedure changes the length of the
+string value of its \fIobjPtr\fR argument.  If the \fInewLength\fR
+argument is greater than the space allocated for the object's
+string, then the string space is reallocated and the old value
+is copied to the new space; the bytes between the old length of
+the string and the new length may have arbitrary values.
+If the \fInewLength\fR argument is less than the current length
+of the object's string, with \fIobjPtr->length\fR is reduced without
+reallocating the string space; the original allocated size for the
+string is recorded in the object, so that the string length can be
+enlarged in a subsequent call to \fBTcl_SetObjLength\fR without
+reallocating storage.  In all cases \fBTcl_SetObjLength\fR leaves
+a null character at \fIobjPtr->bytes[newLength]\fR.
+.PP
+The \fBTcl_ConcatObj\fR function returns a new string object whose
+value is the space-separated concatenation of the string
+representations of all of the objects in the \fIobjv\fR
+array. \fBTcl_ConcatObj\fR eliminates leading and trailing white space
+as it copies the string representations of the \fIobjv\fR array to the
+result. If an element of the \fIobjv\fR array consists of nothing but
+white space, then that object is ignored entirely. This white-space
+removal was added to make the output of the \fBconcat\fR command
+cleaner-looking. \fBTcl_ConcatObj\fR returns a pointer to a
+newly-created object whose ref count is zero.

+.BS
+.SH NAME
+Tcl \- Summary of Tcl language syntax.
+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+The following rules define the syntax and semantics of the Tcl language:
+.IP [1]
+A Tcl script is a string containing one or more commands.
+Semi-colons and newlines are command separators unless quoted as
+described below.
+Close brackets are command terminators during command substitution
+(see below) unless quoted.
+.IP [2]
+A command is evaluated in two steps.
+First, the Tcl interpreter breaks the command into \fIwords\fR
+and performs substitutions as described below.
+These substitutions are performed in the same way for all
+commands.
+The first word is used to locate a command procedure to
+carry out the command, then all of the words of the command are
+passed to the command procedure.
+The command procedure is free to interpret each of its words
+in any way it likes, such as an integer, variable name, list,
+or Tcl script.
+Different commands interpret their words differently.
+.IP [3]
+Words of a command are separated by white space (except for
+newlines, which are command separators).
+.IP [4]
+If the first character of a word is double-quote (``"'') then
+the word is terminated by the next double-quote character.
+If semi-colons, close brackets, or white space characters
+(including newlines) appear between the quotes then they are treated
+as ordinary characters and included in the word.
+Command substitution, variable substitution, and backslash substitution
+are performed on the characters between the quotes as described below.
+The double-quotes are not retained as part of the word.
+.IP [5]
+If the first character of a word is an open brace (``{'') then
+the word is terminated by the matching close brace (``}'').
+Braces nest within the word: for each additional open
+brace there must be an additional close brace (however,
+if an open brace or close brace within the word is
+quoted with a backslash then it is not counted in locating the
+matching close brace).
+No substitutions are performed on the characters between the
+braces except for backslash-newline substitutions described
+below, nor do semi-colons, newlines, close brackets,
+or white space receive any special interpretation.
+The word will consist of exactly the characters between the
+outer braces, not including the braces themselves.
+.IP [6]
+If a word contains an open bracket (``['') then Tcl performs
+\fIcommand substitution\fR.
+To do this it invokes the Tcl interpreter recursively to process
+the characters following the open bracket as a Tcl script.
+The script may contain any number of commands and must be terminated
+by a close bracket (``]'').
+The result of the script (i.e. the result of its last command) is
+substituted into the word in place of the brackets and all of the
+characters between them.
+There may be any number of command substitutions in a single word.
+Command substitution is not performed on words enclosed in braces.
+.IP [7]
+If a word contains a dollar-sign (``$'') then Tcl performs \fIvariable
+substitution\fR:  the dollar-sign and the following characters are
+replaced in the word by the value of a variable.
+Variable substitution may take any of the following forms:
+.RS
+.TP 15
+\fB$\fIname\fR
+\fIName\fR is the name of a scalar variable;  the name is terminated
+by any character that isn't a letter, digit, or underscore.
+.TP 15
+\fB$\fIname\fB(\fIindex\fB)\fR
+\fIName\fR gives the name of an array variable and \fIindex\fR gives
+the name of an element within that array.
+\fIName\fR must contain only letters, digits, and underscores.
+Command substitutions, variable substitutions, and backslash
+substitutions are performed on the characters of \fIindex\fR.
+.TP 15
+\fB${\fIname\fB}\fR
+\fIName\fR is the name of a scalar variable.  It may contain any
+characters whatsoever except for close braces.
+.LP
+There may be any number of variable substitutions in a single word.
+Variable substitution is not performed on words enclosed in braces.
+.RE
+.IP [8]
+If a backslash (``\e'') appears within a word then
+\fIbackslash substitution\fR occurs.
+In all cases but those described below the backslash is dropped and
+the following character is treated as an ordinary
+character and included in the word.
+This allows characters such as double quotes, close brackets,
+and dollar signs to be included in words without triggering
+special processing.
+The following table lists the backslash sequences that are
+handled specially, along with the value that replaces each sequence.
+.RS
+.TP 6
+\e\fBa\fR
+Audible alert (bell) (0x7).
+.TP 6
+\e\fBb\fR
+Backspace (0x8).
+.TP 6
+\e\fBf\fR
+Form feed (0xc).
+.TP 6
+\e\fBn\fR
+Newline (0xa).
+.TP 6
+\e\fBr\fR
+Carriage-return (0xd).
+.TP 6
+\e\fBt\fR
+Tab (0x9).
+.TP 6
+\e\fBv\fR
+Vertical tab (0xb).
+.TP 6
+\e\fB<newline>\fIwhiteSpace\fR
+A single space character replaces the backslash, newline, and all
+spaces and tabs after the newline.
+This backslash sequence is unique in that it is replaced in a separate
+pre-pass before the command is actually parsed.
+This means that it will be replaced even when it occurs between
+braces, and the resulting space will be treated as a word separator
+if it isn't in braces or quotes.
+.TP 6
+\e\e
+Backslash (``\e'').
+.TP 6
+\e\fIooo\fR
+The digits \fIooo\fR (one, two, or three of them) give the octal value of
+the character.
+.TP 6
+\e\fBx\fIhh\fR
+The hexadecimal digits \fIhh\fR give the hexadecimal value of
+the character.  Any number of digits may be present.
+.LP
+Backslash substitution is not performed on words enclosed in braces,
+except for backslash-newline as described above.
+.RE
+.IP [9]
+If a hash character (``#'') appears at a point where Tcl is
+expecting the first character of the first word of a command,
+then the hash character and the characters that follow it, up
+through the next newline, are treated as a comment and ignored.
+The comment character only has significance when it appears
+at the beginning of a command.
+.IP [10]
+Each character is processed exactly once by the Tcl interpreter
+as part of creating the words of a command.
+For example, if variable substitution occurs then no further
+substitutions are performed on the value of the variable;  the
+value is inserted into the word verbatim.
+If command substitution occurs then the nested command is
+processed entirely by the recursive call to the Tcl interpreter;
+no substitutions are performed before making the recursive
+call and no additional substitutions are performed on the result
+of the nested script.
+.IP [11]
+Substitutions do not affect the word boundaries of a command.
+For example, during variable substitution the entire value of
+the variable becomes part of a single word, even if the variable's
+value contains spaces.

+\fB#include <tcl.h>\fR
+.sp
+\fBTcl_Main\fR(\fIargc, argv, appInitProc\fR)
+.SH ARGUMENTS
+.AS Tcl_AppInitProc *appInitProc
+.AP int argc in
+Number of elements in \fIargv\fR.
+.AP char *argv[] in
+Array of strings containing command-line arguments.
+.AP Tcl_AppInitProc *appInitProc in
+Address of an application-specific initialization procedure.
+The value for this argument is usually \fBTcl_AppInit\fR.
+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+\fBTcl_Main\fR acts as the main program for most Tcl-based applications.
+Starting with Tcl 7.4 it is not called \fBmain\fR anymore because it 
+is part of the Tcl library and having a function \fBmain\fR
+in a library (particularly a shared library) causes problems on many
+systems.
+Having \fBmain\fR in the Tcl library would also make it hard to use
+Tcl in C++ programs, since C++ programs must have special C++
+\fBmain\fR functions.
+.PP
+Normally each application contains a small \fBmain\fR function that does
+nothing but invoke \fBTcl_Main\fR.
+\fBTcl_Main\fR then does all the work of creating and running a
+\fBtclsh\fR-like application.
+.PP
+When it is has finished its own initialization, but before
+it processes commands, \fBTcl_Main\fR calls the procedure given by
+the \fIappInitProc\fR argument.  This procedure provides a ``hook''
+for the application to perform its own initialization, such as defining
+application-specific commands.  The procedure must have an interface
+that matches the type \fBTcl_AppInitProc\fR:
+.CS
+typedef int Tcl_AppInitProc(Tcl_Interp *\fIinterp\fR);
+.CE
+\fIAppInitProc\fR is almost always a pointer to \fBTcl_AppInit\fR;
+for more details on this procedure, see the documentation
+for \fBTcl_AppInit\fR.

+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+\fBTcl_TraceVar\fR allows a C procedure to monitor and control
+access to a Tcl variable, so that the C procedure is invoked
+whenever the variable is read or written or unset.
+If the trace is created successfully then \fBTcl_TraceVar\fR returns
+TCL_OK.  If an error occurred (e.g. \fIvarName\fR specifies an element
+of an array, but the actual variable isn't an array) then TCL_ERROR
+is returned and an error message is left in \fIinterp->result\fR.
+.PP
+The \fIflags\fR argument to \fBTcl_TraceVar\fR indicates when the
+trace procedure is to be invoked and provides information
+for setting up the trace.  It consists of an OR-ed combination
+of any of the following values:
+.TP
+\fBTCL_GLOBAL_ONLY\fR
+Normally, the variable will be looked up at the current level of
+procedure call;  if this bit is set then the variable will be looked
+up at global level, ignoring any active procedures.
+.TP
+\fBTCL_TRACE_READS\fR
+Invoke \fIproc\fR whenever an attempt is made to read the variable.
+.TP
+\fBTCL_TRACE_WRITES\fR
+Invoke \fIproc\fR whenever an attempt is made to modify the variable.
+.TP
+\fBTCL_TRACE_UNSETS\fR
+Invoke \fIproc\fR whenever the variable is unset.
+A variable may be unset either explicitly by an \fBunset\fR command,
+or implicitly when a procedure returns (its local variables are
+automatically unset) or when the interpreter is deleted (all
+variables are automatically unset).
+.PP
+Whenever one of the specified operations occurs on the variable,
+\fIproc\fR will be invoked.
+It should have arguments and result that match the type
+\fBTcl_VarTraceProc\fR:
+.CS
+typedef char *Tcl_VarTraceProc(
+	ClientData \fIclientData\fR,
+	Tcl_Interp *\fIinterp\fR,
+	char *\fIname1\fR,
+	char *\fIname2\fR,
+	int \fIflags\fR);
+.CE
+The \fIclientData\fR and \fIinterp\fR parameters will
+have the same values as those passed to \fBTcl_TraceVar\fR when the
+trace was created.
+\fIClientData\fR typically points to an application-specific
+data structure that describes what to do when \fIproc\fR
+is invoked.
+\fIName1\fR and \fIname2\fR give the name of the traced variable
+in the normal two-part form (see the description of \fBTcl_TraceVar2\fR
+below for details).
+\fIFlags\fR is an OR-ed combination of bits providing several
+pieces of information.
+One of the bits TCL_TRACE_READS, TCL_TRACE_WRITES, or TCL_TRACE_UNSETS
+will be set in \fIflags\fR to indicate which operation is being performed
+on the variable.
+The bit TCL_GLOBAL_ONLY will be set whenever the variable being
+accessed is a global one not accessible from the current level of
+procedure call:  the trace procedure will need to pass this flag
+back to variable-related procedures like \fBTcl_GetVar\fR if it
+attempts to access the variable.
+The bit TCL_TRACE_DESTROYED will be set in \fIflags\fR if the trace is
+about to be destroyed;  this information may be useful to \fIproc\fR
+so that it can clean up its own internal data structures (see
+the section TCL_TRACE_DESTROYED below for more details).
+Lastly, the bit TCL_INTERP_DESTROYED will be set if the entire
+interpreter is being destroyed.
+When this bit is set, \fIproc\fR must be especially careful in
+the things it does (see the section TCL_INTERP_DESTROYED below).
+The trace procedure's return value should normally be NULL;  see
+ERROR RETURNS below for information on other possibilities.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_UntraceVar\fR may be used to remove a trace.
+If the variable specified by \fIinterp\fR, \fIvarName\fR, and \fIflags\fR
+has a trace set with \fIflags\fR, \fIproc\fR, and
+\fIclientData\fR, then the corresponding trace is removed.
+If no such trace exists, then the call to \fBTcl_UntraceVar\fR
+has no effect.
+The same bits are valid for \fIflags\fR as for calls to \fBTcl_TraceVar\fR.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_VarTraceInfo\fR may be used to retrieve information about
+traces set on a given variable.
+The return value from \fBTcl_VarTraceInfo\fR is the \fIclientData\fR
+associated with a particular trace.
+The trace must be on the variable specified by the \fIinterp\fR,
+\fIvarName\fR, and \fIflags\fR arguments (only the TCL_GLOBAL_ONLY
+bit from \fIflags\fR is used;  other bits are ignored) and its trace procedure
+must the same as the \fIproc\fR argument.
+If the \fIprevClientData\fR argument is NULL then the return
+value corresponds to the first (most recently created) matching
+trace, or NULL if there are no matching traces.
+If the \fIprevClientData\fR argument isn't NULL, then it should
+be the return value from a previous call to \fBTcl_VarTraceInfo\fR.
+In this case, the new return value will correspond to the next
+matching trace after the one whose \fIclientData\fR matches
+\fIprevClientData\fR, or NULL if no trace matches \fIprevClientData\fR
+or if there are no more matching traces after it.
+This mechanism makes it possible to step through all of the
+traces for a given variable that have the same \fIproc\fR.
+
+.SH "TWO-PART NAMES"
+.PP
+The procedures \fBTcl_TraceVar2\fR, \fBTcl_UntraceVar2\fR, and
+\fBTcl_VarTraceInfo2\fR are identical to \fBTcl_TraceVar\fR,
+\fBTcl_UntraceVar\fR, and \fBTcl_VarTraceInfo\fR, respectively,
+except that the name of the variable consists of two parts.
+\fIName1\fR gives the name of a scalar variable or array,
+and \fIname2\fR gives the name of an element within an array.
+If \fIname2\fR is NULL it means that either the variable is
+a scalar or the trace is to be set on the entire array rather
+than an individual element (see WHOLE-ARRAY TRACES below for
+more information).
+As a special case, if the flag TCL_PARSE_PART1 is specified,
+\fIname1\fR may contain both an array and an element name:
+if the name contains an open parenthesis and ends with a
+close parenthesis, then the value between the parentheses is
+treated as an element name (which can have any string value) and
+the characters before the first open
+parenthesis are treated as the name of an array variable.
+If the flag TCL_PARSE_PART1 is given,
+\fIname2\fR should be NULL since the array and element names
+are taken from \fIname1\fR.
+
+.SH "ACCESSING VARIABLES DURING TRACES"
+.PP
+During read and write traces, the
+trace procedure can read, write, or unset the traced
+variable using \fBTcl_GetVar2\fR, \fBTcl_SetVar2\fR, and
+other procedures.
+While \fIproc\fR is executing, traces are temporarily disabled
+for the variable, so that calls to \fBTcl_GetVar2\fR and
+\fBTcl_SetVar2\fR will not cause \fIproc\fR or other trace procedures
+to be invoked again.
+Disabling only occurs for the variable whose trace procedure
+is active;  accesses to other variables will still be traced.
+However, if a variable is unset during a read or write trace then unset
+traces will be invoked.
+.PP
+During unset traces the variable has already been completely
+expunged.
+It is possible for the trace procedure to read or write the
+variable, but this will be a new version of the variable.
+Traces are not disabled during unset traces as they are for
+read and write traces, but existing traces have been removed
+from the variable before any trace procedures are invoked.
+If new traces are set by unset trace procedures, these traces
+will be invoked on accesses to the variable by the trace
+procedures.
+
+.SH "CALLBACK TIMING"
+.PP
+When read tracing has been specified for a variable, the trace
+procedure will be invoked whenever the variable's value is
+read.  This includes \fBset\fR Tcl commands, \fB$\fR-notation
+in Tcl commands, and invocations of the \fBTcl_GetVar\fR
+and \fBTcl_GetVar2\fR procedures.
+\fIProc\fR is invoked just before the variable's value is
+returned.
+It may modify the value of the variable to affect what
+is returned by the traced access.
+If it unsets the variable then the access will return an error
+just as if the variable never existed.
+.PP
+When write tracing has been specified for a variable, the
+trace procedure will be invoked whenever the variable's value
+is modified.  This includes \fBset\fR commands,
+commands that modify variables as side effects (such as
+\fBcatch\fR and \fBscan\fR), and calls to the \fBTcl_SetVar\fR
+and \fBTcl_SetVar2\fR procedures).
+\fIProc\fR will be invoked after the variable's value has been
+modified, but before the new value of the variable has been
+returned.
+It may modify the value of the variable to override the change
+and to determine the value actually returned by the traced
+access.
+If it deletes the variable then the traced access will return
+an empty string.
+.PP
+When unset tracing has been specified, the trace procedure
+will be invoked whenever the variable is destroyed.
+The traces will be called after the variable has been
+completely unset.
+
+.SH "WHOLE-ARRAY TRACES"
+.PP
+If a call to \fBTcl_TraceVar\fR or \fBTcl_TraceVar2\fR specifies
+the name of an array variable without an index into the array,
+then the trace will be set on the array as a whole.
+This means that \fIproc\fR will be invoked whenever any
+element of the array is accessed in the ways specified by
+\fIflags\fR.
+When an array is unset, a whole-array trace will be invoked
+just once, with \fIname1\fR equal to the name of the array
+and \fIname2\fR NULL;  it will not be invoked once for each
+element.
+
+.SH "MULTIPLE TRACES"
+.PP
+It is possible for multiple traces to exist on the same variable.
+When this happens, all of the trace procedures will be invoked on each
+access, in order from most-recently-created to least-recently-created.
+When there exist whole-array traces for an array as well as
+traces on individual elements, the whole-array traces are invoked
+before the individual-element traces.
+If a read or write trace unsets the variable then all of the unset
+traces will be invoked but the remainder of the read and write traces
+will be skipped.
+
+.SH "ERROR RETURNS"
+.PP
+Under normal conditions trace procedures should return NULL, indicating
+successful completion.
+If \fIproc\fR returns a non-NULL value it signifies that an
+error occurred.
+The return value must be a pointer to a static character string
+containing an error message.
+If a trace procedure returns an error, no further traces are
+invoked for the access and the traced access aborts with the
+given message.
+Trace procedures can use this facility to make variables
+read-only, for example (but note that the value of the variable
+will already have been modified before the trace procedure is
+called, so the trace procedure will have to restore the correct
+value).
+.PP
+The return value from \fIproc\fR is only used during read and
+write tracing.
+During unset traces, the return value is ignored and all relevant
+trace procedures will always be invoked.
+
+.SH "RESTRICTIONS"
+.PP
+A trace procedure can be called at any time, even when there
+is a partially-formed result in the interpreter's result area.  If
+the trace procedure does anything that could damage this result (such
+as calling \fBTcl_Eval\fR) then it must save the original values of
+the interpreter's \fBresult\fR and \fBfreeProc\fR fields and restore
+them before it returns.
+
+.SH "UNDEFINED VARIABLES"
+.PP
+It is legal to set a trace on an undefined variable.
+The variable will still appear to be undefined until the
+first time its value is set.
+If an undefined variable is traced and then unset, the unset will fail
+with an error (``no such variable''), but the trace
+procedure will still be invoked.
+
+.SH "TCL_TRACE_DESTROYED FLAG"
+.PP
+In an unset callback to \fIproc\fR, the TCL_TRACE_DESTROYED bit
+is set in \fIflags\fR if the trace is being removed as part
+of the deletion.
+Traces on a variable are always removed whenever the variable
+is deleted;  the only time TCL_TRACE_DESTROYED isn't set is for
+a whole-array trace invoked when only a single element of an
+array is unset.
+
+.SH "TCL_INTERP_DESTROYED"
+.PP
+When an interpreter is destroyed, unset traces are called for
+all of its variables.
+The TCL_INTERP_DESTROYED bit will be set in the \fIflags\fR
+argument passed to the trace procedures.
+Trace procedures must be extremely careful in what they do if
+the TCL_INTERP_DESTROYED bit is set.
+It is not safe for the procedures to invoke any Tcl procedures
+on the interpreter, since its state is partially deleted.
+All that trace procedures should do under these circumstances is
+to clean up and free their own internal data structures.
+
+.SH BUGS
+.PP
+Tcl doesn't do any error checking to prevent trace procedures
+from misusing the interpreter during traces with TCL_INTERP_DESTROYED
+set.

+then \fIinterp\fR's result object will be set to the following

+wrong # args: should be "foo fileName count"
+.CE
+If \fIobjc\fR is 2, the result will be set to the following string:
+.CS

+.CE
+\fIObjc\fR is usually 1, but may be 2 or more for commands like
+\fBstring\fR and the Tk widget commands, which use the first argument
+as a subcommand.  
+.PP
+Some of the objects in the \fIobjv\fR array may be abbreviations for

+subcommand we would like to use the full subcommand name rather than

+\fIindexObjects\fR in the \fIobjv\fR array it will use the full subcommand
+name in the error message instead of the abbreviated name that was
+origionally passed in.  Using the above example, lets assume that
+\fIbar\fR is actually an abbreviation for \fIbarfly\fR and the object
+is now an indexObject becasue it was passed to
+\fBTcl_GetIndexFromObj\fR.  In this case the error message would be:

+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+This command is used to delay execution of the program or to execute
+a command in background sometime in the future.  It has several forms,
+depending on the first argument to the command:
+.TP
+\fBafter \fIms\fR
+\fIMs\fR must be an integer giving a time in milliseconds.
+The command sleeps for \fIms\fR milliseconds and then returns.
+While the command is sleeping the application does not respond to
+events.
+.TP
+\fBafter \fIms \fR?\fIscript script script ...\fR?
+In this form the command returns immediately, but it arranges
+for a Tcl command to be executed \fIms\fR milliseconds later as an
+event handler.
+The command will be executed exactly once, at the given time.
+The delayed command is formed by concatenating all the \fIscript\fR
+arguments in the same fashion as the \fBconcat\fR command.
+The command will be executed at global level (outside the context
+of any Tcl procedure).
+If an error occurs while executing the delayed command then the
+\fBbgerror\fR mechanism is used to report the error.
+The \fBafter\fR command returns an identifier that can be used
+to cancel the delayed command using \fBafter cancel\fR.
+.TP
+\fBafter cancel \fIid\fR
+Cancels the execution of a delayed command that
+was previously scheduled.
+\fIId\fR indicates which command should be canceled;  it must have
+been the return value from a previous \fBafter\fR command.
+If the command given by \fIid\fR has already been executed then
+the \fBafter cancel\fR command has no effect.
+.TP
+\fBafter cancel \fIscript script ...\fR
+This command also cancels the execution of a delayed command.
+The \fIscript\fR arguments are concatenated together with space
+separators (just as in the \fBconcat\fR command).
+If there is a pending command that matches the string, it is
+cancelled and will never be executed;  if no such command is
+currently pending then the \fBafter cancel\fR command has no effect.
+.TP
+\fBafter idle \fIscript \fR?\fIscript script ...\fR?
+Concatenates the \fIscript\fR arguments together with space
+separators (just as in the \fBconcat\fR command), and arranges
+for the resulting script to be evaluated later as an idle callback.
+The script will be run exactly once, the next time the event
+loop is entered and there are no events to process.
+The command returns an identifier that can be used
+to cancel the delayed command using \fBafter cancel\fR.
+If an error occurs while executing the script then the
+\fBbgerror\fR mechanism is used to report the error.
+.TP
+\fBafter info \fR?\fIid\fR?
+This command returns information about existing event handlers.
+If no \fIid\fR argument is supplied, the command returns
+a list of the identifiers for all existing
+event handlers created by the \fBafter\fR command for this
+interpreter.
+If \fIid\fR is supplied, it specifies an existing handler;
+\fIid\fR must have been the return value from some previous call
+to \fBafter\fR and it must not have triggered yet or been cancelled.
+In this case the command returns a list with two elements.
+The first element of the list is the script associated
+with \fIid\fR, and the second element is either
+\fBidle\fR or \fBtimer\fR to indicate what kind of event
+handler it is.
+.LP
+The \fBafter \fIms\fR and \fBafter idle\fR forms of the command
+assume that the application is event driven:  the delayed commands
+will not be executed unless the application enters the event loop.
+In applications that are not normally event-driven, such as
+\fBtclsh\fR, the event loop can be entered with the \fBvwait\fR
+and \fBupdate\fR commands.

+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+This command performs one of several operations on the
+variable given by \fIarrayName\fR.
+Unless otherwise specified for individual commands below,
+\fIarrayName\fR must be the name of an existing array variable.
+The \fIoption\fR argument determines what action is carried
+out by the command.
+The legal \fIoptions\fR (which may be abbreviated) are:
+.TP
+\fBarray anymore \fIarrayName searchId\fR
+Returns 1 if there are any more elements left to be processed
+in an array search, 0 if all elements have already been
+returned.
+\fISearchId\fR indicates which search on \fIarrayName\fR to
+check, and must have been the return value from a previous
+invocation of \fBarray startsearch\fR.
+This option is particularly useful if an array has an element
+with an empty name, since the return value from
+\fBarray nextelement\fR won't indicate whether the search
+has been completed.
+.TP
+\fBarray donesearch \fIarrayName searchId\fR
+This command terminates an array search and destroys all the
+state associated with that search.  \fISearchId\fR indicates
+which search on \fIarrayName\fR to destroy, and must have
+been the return value from a previous invocation of
+\fBarray startsearch\fR.  Returns an empty string.
+.TP
+\fBarray exists \fIarrayName\fR
+Returns 1 if \fIarrayName\fR is an array variable, 0 if there
+is no variable by that name or if it is a scalar variable.
+.TP
+\fBarray get \fIarrayName\fR ?\fIpattern\fR?
+Returns a list containing pairs of elements.  The first
+element in each pair is the name of an element in \fIarrayName\fR
+and the second element of each pair is the value of the
+array element.  The order of the pairs is undefined.
+If \fIpattern\fR is not specified, then all of the elements of the
+array are included in the result.
+If \fIpattern\fR is specified, then only those elements whose names
+match \fIpattern\fR (using the glob-style matching rules of
+\fBstring match\fR) are included.
+If \fIarrayName\fR isn't the name of an array variable, or if
+the array contains no elements, then an empty list is returned.
+.TP
+\fBarray names \fIarrayName\fR ?\fIpattern\fR?
+Returns a list containing the names of all of the elements in
+the array that match \fIpattern\fR (using the glob-style matching
+rules of \fBstring match\fR).
+If \fIpattern\fR is omitted then the command returns all of
+the element names in the array.
+If there are no (matching) elements in the array, or if \fIarrayName\fR
+isn't the name of an array variable, then an empty string is
+returned.
+.TP
+\fBarray nextelement \fIarrayName searchId\fR
+Returns the name of the next element in \fIarrayName\fR, or
+an empty string if all elements of \fIarrayName\fR have
+already been returned in this search.  The \fIsearchId\fR
+argument identifies the search, and must have
+been the return value of an \fBarray startsearch\fR command.
+Warning:  if elements are added to or deleted from the array,
+then all searches are automatically terminated just as if
+\fBarray donesearch\fR had been invoked; this will cause
+\fBarray nextelement\fR operations to fail for those searches.
+.TP
+\fBarray set \fIarrayName list\fR
+Sets the values of one or more elements in \fIarrayName\fR.
+\fIlist\fR must have a form like that returned by \fBarray get\fR,
+consisting of an even number of elements.
+Each odd-numbered element in \fIlist\fR is treated as an element
+name within \fIarrayName\fR, and the following element in \fIlist\fR
+is used as a new value for that array element.
+If the variable \fIarrayName\fR does not already exist
+and \fIlist\fR is empty,
+\fIarrayName\fR is created with an empty array value.
+.TP
+\fBarray size \fIarrayName\fR
+Returns a decimal string giving the number of elements in the
+array.
+If \fIarrayName\fR isn't the name of an array then 0 is returned.
+.TP
+\fBarray startsearch \fIarrayName\fR
+This command initializes an element-by-element search through the
+array given by \fIarrayName\fR, such that invocations of the
+\fBarray nextelement\fR command will return the names of the
+individual elements in the array.
+When the search has been completed, the \fBarray donesearch\fR
+command should be invoked.
+The return value is a
+search identifier that must be used in \fBarray nextelement\fR
+and \fBarray donesearch\fR commands; it allows multiple
+searches to be underway simultaneously for the same array.

+bgerror \- Command invoked to process background errors
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fBbgerror \fImessage\fR
+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+The \fBbgerror\fR command doesn't exist as built-in part of Tcl.  Instead,
+individual applications or users can define a \fBbgerror\fR
+command (e.g. as a Tcl procedure) if they wish to handle background
+errors.
+.PP
+A background error is one that occurs in an event handler or some
+other command that didn't originate with the application.
+For example, if an error occurs while executing a command specified
+with the \fBafter\fR command, then it is a background error.
+For a non-background error, the error can simply be returned up
+through nested Tcl command evaluations until it reaches the top-level
+code in the application; then the application can report the error
+in whatever way it wishes.
+When a background error occurs, the unwinding ends in
+the Tcl library and there is no obvious way for Tcl to report
+the error.
+.PP
+When Tcl detects a background error, it saves information about the
+error and invokes the \fBbgerror\fR command later as an idle event handler.
+Before invoking \fBbgerror\fR, Tcl restores the \fBerrorInfo\fR
+and \fBerrorCode\fR variables to their values at the time the
+error occurred, then it invokes \fBbgerror\fR with
+the error message as its only argument.
+Tcl assumes that the application has implemented the \fBbgerror\fR
+command, and that the command will report the error in a way that
+makes sense for the application.  Tcl will ignore any result returned
+by the \fBbgerror\fR command as long as no error is generated.
+.PP
+If another Tcl error occurs within the \fBbgerror\fR command
+(for example, because no \fBbgerror\fR command has been defined)
+then Tcl reports the error itself by writing a message to stderr.
+.PP
+If several background errors accumulate before \fBbgerror\fR
+is invoked to process them, \fBbgerror\fR will be invoked once
+for each error, in the order they occurred.
+However, if \fBbgerror\fR returns with a break exception, then
+any remaining errors are skipped without calling \fBbgerror\fR.
+.PP
+Tcl has no default implementation for \fBbgerror\fR.
+However, in applications using Tk there is a default
+\fBbgerror\fR procedure
+which posts a dialog box containing
+the error message and offers the user a chance to see a stack
+trace showing where the error occurred.

+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fBbinary format \fIformatString \fR?\fIarg arg ...\fR?
+.br
+\fBbinary scan \fIstring formatString \fR?\fIvarName varName ...\fR?
+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+This command provides facilities for manipulating binary data.  The
+first form, \fBbinary format\fR, creates a binary string from normal
+Tcl values.  For example, given the values 16 and 22, it might produce
+an 8-byte binary string consisting of two 4-byte integers, one for
+each of the numbers.  The second form of the command, 
+\fBbinary scan\fR, does the opposite: it extracts data from a binary
+string and returns it as ordinary Tcl string values.
+
+.SH "BINARY FORMAT"
+.PP
+The \fBbinary format\fR command generates a binary string whose layout
+is specified by the \fIformatString\fR and whose contents come from
+the additional arguments.  The resulting binary value is returned.
+.PP
+The \fIformatString\fR consists of a sequence of zero or more field
+specifiers separated by zero or more spaces.  Each field specifier is
+a single type character followed by an optional numeric \fIcount\fR.
+Most field specifiers consume one argument to obtain the value to be
+formatted.  The type character specifies how the value is to be
+formatted.  The \fIcount\fR typically indicates how many items of the
+specified type are taken from the value.  If present, the \fIcount\fR
+is a non-negative decimal integer or \fB*\fR, which normally indicates
+that all of the items in the value are to be used.  If the number of
+arguments does not match the number of fields in the format string
+that consume arguments, then an error is generated.
+.PP
+Each type-count pair moves an imaginary cursor through the binary
+data, storing bytes at the current position and advancing the cursor
+to just after the last byte stored.  The cursor is initially at
+position 0 at the beginning of the data.  The type may be any one of
+the following characters:
+.IP \fBa\fR 5
+Stores a character string of length \fIcount\fR in the output string.
+If \fIarg\fR has fewer than \fIcount\fR bytes, then additional zero
+bytes are used to pad out the field.  If \fIarg\fR is longer than the
+specified length, the extra characters will be ignored.  If
+\fIcount\fR is \fB*\fR, then all of the bytes in \fIarg\fR will be
+formatted.  If \fIcount\fR is omitted, then one character will be
+formatted.  For example,
+.RS
+.CS
+\fBbinary format a7a*a alpha bravo charlie\fR
+.CE
+will return a string equivalent to \fBalpha\\000\\000bravoc\fR.
+.RE
+.IP \fBA\fR 5
+This form is the same as \fBa\fR except that spaces are used for
+padding instead of nulls.  For example,
+.RS
+.CS
+\fBbinary format A6A*A alpha bravo charlie\fR
+.CE
+will return \fBalpha bravoc\fR.
+.RE
+.IP \fBb\fR 5
+Stores a string of \fIcount\fR binary digits in low-to-high order
+within each byte in the output string.  \fIArg\fR must contain a
+sequence of \fB1\fR and \fB0\fR characters.  The resulting bytes are
+emitted in first to last order with the bits being formatted in
+low-to-high order within each byte.  If \fIarg\fR has fewer than
+\fIcount\fR digits, then zeros will be used for the remaining bits.
+If \fIarg\fR has more than the specified number of digits, the extra
+digits will be ignored.  If \fIcount\fR is \fB*\fR, then all of the
+digits in \fIarg\fR will be formatted.  If \fIcount\fR is omitted,
+then one digit will be formatted.  If the number of bits formatted
+does not end at a byte boundary, the remaining bits of the last byte
+will be zeros.  For example,
+.RS
+.CS
+\fBbinary format b5b* 11100 111000011010\fR

+.RE
+.IP \fBh\fR 5
+Stores a string of \fIcount\fR hexadecimal digits in low-to-high

+sequence of characters in the set ``0123456789abcdefABCDEF''.  The
+resulting bytes are emitted in first to last order with the hex digits
+being formatted in low-to-high order within each byte.  If \fIarg\fR

+.SH "BINARY SCAN"
+.PP
+The \fBbinary scan\fR command parses fields from a binary string,
+returning the number of conversions performed.  \fIString\fR gives the
+input to be parsed and \fIformatString\fR indicates how to parse it.
+Each \fIvarName\fR gives the name of a variable; when a field is
+scanned from \fIstring\fR the result is assigned to the corresponding
+variable.
+.PP
+As with \fBbinary format\fR, the \fIformatString\fR consists of a
+sequence of zero or more field specifiers separated by zero or more
+spaces.  Each field specifier is a single type character followed by
+an optional numeric \fIcount\fR.  Most field specifiers consume one
+argument to obtain the variable into which the scanned values should
+be placed.  The type character specifies how the binary data is to be
+interpreted.  The \fIcount\fR typically indicates how many items of
+the specified type are taken from the data.  If present, the
+\fIcount\fR is a non-negative decimal integer or \fB*\fR, which
+normally indicates that all of the remaining items in the data are to
+be used.  If there are not enough bytes left after the current cursor
+position to satisfy the current field specifier, then the
+corresponding variable is left untouched and \fBbinary scan\fR returns
+immediately with the number of variables that were set.  If there are
+not enough arguments for all of the fields in the format string that
+consume arguments, then an error is generated.
+.PP
+Each type-count pair moves an imaginary cursor through the binary data,
+reading bytes from the current position.  The cursor is initially
+at position 0 at the beginning of the data.  The type may be any one of
+the following characters:
+.IP \fBa\fR 5
+The data is a character string of length \fIcount\fR.  If \fIcount\fR

+character will be scanned.  For example,

+\fBbreak\fR
+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+This command is typically invoked inside the body of a looping command
+such as \fBfor\fR or \fBforeach\fR or \fBwhile\fR.
+It returns a TCL_BREAK code, which causes a break exception
+to occur.
+The exception causes the current script to be aborted
+out to the innermost containing loop command, which then
+aborts its execution and returns normally.
+Break exceptions are also handled in a few other situations, such
+as the \fBcatch\fR command, Tk event bindings, and the outermost

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+\fINote: the \fBcase\fI command is obsolete and is supported only
+for backward compatibility.  At some point in the future it may be
+removed entirely.  You should use the \fBswitch\fI command instead.\fR
+.PP
+The \fBcase\fR command matches \fIstring\fR against each of
+the \fIpatList\fR arguments in order.
+Each \fIpatList\fR argument is a list of one or
+more patterns.  If any of these patterns matches \fIstring\fR then
+\fBcase\fR evaluates the following \fIbody\fR argument
+by passing it recursively to the Tcl interpreter and returns the result
+of that evaluation.
+Each \fIpatList\fR argument consists of a single
+pattern or list of patterns.  Each pattern may contain any of the wild-cards
+described under \fBstring match\fR.  If a \fIpatList\fR
+argument is \fBdefault\fR, the corresponding body will be evaluated
+if no \fIpatList\fR matches \fIstring\fR.  If no \fIpatList\fR argument
+matches \fIstring\fR and no default is given, then the \fBcase\fR
+command returns an empty string.
+.PP
+Two syntaxes are provided for the \fIpatList\fR and \fIbody\fR arguments.
+The first uses a separate argument for each of the patterns and commands;
+this form is convenient if substitutions are desired on some of the
+patterns or commands.
+The second form places all of the patterns and commands together into
+a single argument; the argument must have proper list structure, with
+the elements of the list being the patterns and commands.
+The second form makes it easy to construct multi-line case commands,
+since the braces around the whole list make it unnecessary to include a
+backslash at the end of each line.
+Since the \fIpatList\fR arguments are in braces in the second form,
+no command or variable substitutions are performed on them;  this makes
+the behavior of the second form different than the first form in some
+cases.

+.PP
+Closes the channel given by \fIchannelId\fR.  \fIChannelId\fR must be a
+channel identifier such as the return value from a previous \fBopen\fR
+or \fBsocket\fR command.
+All buffered output is flushed to the channel's output device,
+any buffered input is discarded, the underlying file or device is closed,
+and \fIchannelId\fR becomes unavailable for use.
+.VS "" br
+.PP
+If the channel is blocking, the command does not return until all output
+is flushed.
+If the channel is nonblocking and there is unflushed output, the
+channel remains open and the command
+returns immediately; output will be flushed in the background and the
+channel will be closed when all the flushing is complete.
+.VE
+.PP
+If \fIchannelId\fR is a blocking channel for a command pipeline then
+\fBclose\fR waits for the child processes to complete.
+.VS "" br
+.PP
+If the channel is shared between interpreters, then \fBclose\fR
+makes \fIchannelId\fR unavailable in the invoking interpreter but has no
+other effect until all of the sharing interpreters have closed the
+channel.
+When the last interpreter in which the channel is registered invokes
+\fBclose\fR, the cleanup actions described above occur. See the
+\fBinterp\fR command for a description of channel sharing.
+.PP
+Channels are automatically closed when an interpreter is destroyed and
+when the process exits.  Channels are switched to blocking mode, to ensure
+that all output is correctly flushed before the process exits.
+.VE
+.PP
+The command returns an empty string, and may generate an error if
+an error occurs while flushing output.

+\fBerror \fImessage\fR ?\fIinfo\fR? ?\fIcode\fR?

+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+Returns a TCL_ERROR code, which causes command interpretation to be
+unwound.  \fIMessage\fR is a string that is returned to the application
+to indicate what went wrong.
+.PP
+If the \fIinfo\fR argument is provided and is non-empty,
+it is used to initialize the global variable \fBerrorInfo\fR.
+\fBerrorInfo\fR is used to accumulate a stack trace of what
+was in progress when an error occurred; as nested commands unwind,
+the Tcl interpreter adds information to \fBerrorInfo\fR.  If the
+\fIinfo\fR argument is present, it is used to initialize
+\fBerrorInfo\fR and the first increment of unwind information
+will not be added by the Tcl interpreter.  In other
+words, the command containing the \fBerror\fR command will not appear
+in \fBerrorInfo\fR; in its place will be \fIinfo\fR.
+This feature is most useful in conjunction with the \fBcatch\fR command:
+if a caught error cannot be handled successfully, \fIinfo\fR can be used
+to return a stack trace reflecting the original point of occurrence
+of the error:
+.CS
+\fBcatch {...} errMsg
+set savedInfo $errorInfo
+\&...
+error $errMsg $savedInfo\fR
+.CE
+.PP
+If the \fIcode\fR argument is present, then its value is stored
+in the \fBerrorCode\fR global variable.  This variable is intended
+to hold a machine-readable description of the error in cases where
+such information is available; see the \fBtclvars\fR manual
+page for information on the proper format for the variable.
+If the \fIcode\fR argument is not
+present, then \fBerrorCode\fR is automatically reset to
+``NONE'' by the Tcl interpreter as part of processing the
+error generated by the command.

+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fBexec \fR?\fIswitches\fR? \fIarg \fR?\fIarg ...\fR?
+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+This command treats its arguments as the specification
+of one or more subprocesses to execute.
+The arguments take the form of a standard shell pipeline
+where each \fIarg\fR becomes one word of a command, and
+each distinct command becomes a subprocess.
+.PP
+If the initial arguments to \fBexec\fR start with \fB\-\fR then
+they are treated as command-line switches and are not part
+of the pipeline specification.  The following switches are
+currently supported:
+.TP 13
+\fB\-keepnewline\fR
+Retains a trailing newline in the pipeline's output.
+Normally a trailing newline will be deleted.
+.TP 13
+\fB\-\|\-\fR
+Marks the end of switches.  The argument following this one will
+be treated as the first \fIarg\fR even if it starts with a \fB\-\fR.
+.PP
+If an \fIarg\fR (or pair of \fIarg\fR's) has one of the forms
+described below then it is used by \fBexec\fR to control the
+flow of input and output among the subprocess(es).
+Such arguments will not be passed to the subprocess(es).  In forms
+such as ``< \fIfileName\fR'' \fIfileName\fR may either be in a
+separate argument from ``<'' or in the same argument with no
+intervening space (i.e. ``<\fIfileName\fR'').
+.TP 15
+|
+Separates distinct commands in the pipeline.  The standard output
+of the preceding command will be piped into the standard input
+of the next command.
+.TP 15
+|&
+Separates distinct commands in the pipeline.  Both standard output
+and standard error of the preceding command will be piped into
+the standard input of the next command.
+This form of redirection overrides forms such as 2> and >&.
+.TP 15
+<\0\fIfileName\fR
+The file named by \fIfileName\fR is opened and used as the standard
+input for the first command in the pipeline.
+.TP 15
+<@\0\fIfileId\fR
+\fIFileId\fR must be the identifier for an open file, such as the return
+value from a previous call to \fBopen\fR.
+It is used as the standard input for the first command in the pipeline.
+\fIFileId\fR must have been opened for reading.
+.TP 15
+<<\0\fIvalue\fR
+\fIValue\fR is passed to the first command as its standard input.
+.TP 15
+>\0\fIfileName\fR
+Standard output from the last command is redirected to the file named
+\fIfileName\fR, overwriting its previous contents.
+.TP 15
+2>\0\fIfileName\fR
+Standard error from all commands in the pipeline is redirected to the
+file named \fIfileName\fR, overwriting its previous contents.
+.TP 15

+Both standard output from the last command and standard error from all
+commands are redirected to the file named \fIfileName\fR, overwriting
+its previous contents.

+Standard output from the last command is

+than overwriting it.
+.TP 15

+Standard error from all commands in the pipeline is
+redirected to the file named \fIfileName\fR, appending to it rather
+than overwriting it.
+.TP 15
+>>&\0\fIfileName\fR
+Both standard output from the last command and standard error from
+all commands are redirected to the file named \fIfileName\fR,
+appending to it rather than overwriting it.
+.TP 15
+>@\0\fIfileId\fR
+\fIFileId\fR must be the identifier for an open file, such as the return
+value from a previous call to \fBopen\fR.
+Standard output from the last command is redirected to \fIfileId\fR's
+file, which must have been opened for writing.
+.TP 15
+2>@\0\fIfileId\fR
+\fIFileId\fR must be the identifier for an open file, such as the return
+value from a previous call to \fBopen\fR.
+Standard error from all commands in the pipeline is
+redirected to \fIfileId\fR's file.
+The file must have been opened for writing.
+.TP 15
+>&@\0\fIfileId\fR
+\fIFileId\fR must be the identifier for an open file, such as the return
+value from a previous call to \fBopen\fR.
+Both standard output from the last command and standard error from
+all commands are redirected to \fIfileId\fR's file.
+The file must have been opened for writing.
+.PP
+If standard output has not been redirected then the \fBexec\fR
+command returns the standard output from the last command
+in the pipeline.
+If any of the commands in the pipeline exit abnormally or
+are killed or suspended, then \fBexec\fR will return an error
+and the error message will include the pipeline's output followed by
+error messages describing the abnormal terminations; the
+\fBerrorCode\fR variable will contain additional information
+about the last abnormal termination encountered.
+If any of the commands writes to its standard error file and that
+standard error isn't redirected,
+then \fBexec\fR will return an error;  the error message
+will include the pipeline's standard output, followed by messages
+about abnormal terminations (if any), followed by the standard error
+output.
+.PP
+If the last character of the result or error message
+is a newline then that character is normally deleted
+from the result or error message.
+This is consistent with other Tcl return values, which don't
+normally end with newlines.
+However, if \fB\-keepnewline\fR is specified then the trailing
+newline is retained.
+.PP
+If standard input isn't redirected with ``<'' or ``<<''
+or ``<@'' then the standard input for the first command in the
+pipeline is taken from the application's current standard input.
+.PP
+If the last \fIarg\fR is ``&'' then the pipeline will be
+executed in background.
+In this case the \fBexec\fR command will return a list whose
+elements are the process identifiers for all of the subprocesses
+in the pipeline.
+The standard output from the last command in the pipeline will
+go to the application's standard output if it hasn't been
+redirected, and error output from all of
+the commands in the pipeline will go to the application's
+standard error file unless redirected.
+.PP
+The first word in each command is taken as the command name;
+tilde-substitution is performed on it, and if the result contains
+no slashes then the directories
+in the PATH environment variable are searched for
+an executable by the given name.
+If the name contains a slash then it must refer to an executable
+reachable from the current directory.
+No ``glob'' expansion or other shell-like substitutions
+are performed on the arguments to commands.

+.
+Reading from or writing to a socket, using the ``\fB@\0\fIfileId\fR''
+notation, does not work.  When reading from a socket, a 16-bit DOS
+application will hang and a 32-bit application will return immediately with
+end-of-file.  When either type of application writes to a socket, the
+information is instead sent to the console, if one is present, or is

+.sp
+The Tk console text widget does not provide real standard IO capabilities.
+Under Tk, when redirecting from standard input, all applications will see an
+immediate end-of-file; information redirected to standard output or standard
+error will be discarded.  
+.sp
+Either forward or backward slashes are accepted as path separators for
+arguments to Tcl commands.  When executing an application, the path name
+specified for the application may also contain forward or backward slashes
+as path separators.  Bear in mind, however, that most Windows applications
+accept arguments with forward slashes only as option delimiters and
+backslashes only in paths.  Any arguments to an application that specify a
+path name with forward slashes will not automatically be converted to use
+the backslash character.  If an argument contains forward slashes as the
+path separator, it may or may not be recognized as a path name, depending on
+the program.  
+.sp
+Additionally, when calling a 16-bit DOS or Windows 3.X application, all path
+names must use the short, cryptic, path format (e.g., using ``applba~1.def''
+instead of ``applbakery.default'').
+.sp
+Two or more forward or backward slashes in a row in a path refer to a
+network path.  For example, a simple concatenation of the root directory
+\fBc:/\fR with a subdirectory \fB/windows/system\fR will yield
+\fBc://windows/system\fR (two slashes together), which refers to the
+directory \fB/system\fR on the machine \fBwindows\fR (and the \fBc:/\fR is

+must terminate before the temporary files are redirected to the next stage

+caller.  Additionally, for 16-bit applications, standard error is always
+sent to the same place as standard output; it cannot be redirected to a
+separate location.  In order to achieve pseudo-redirection for 32-bit

+.SH NAME
+expr \- Evaluate an expression
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fBexpr \fIarg \fR?\fIarg arg ...\fR?
+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+Concatenates \fIarg\fR's (adding separator spaces between them),
+evaluates the result as a Tcl expression, and returns the value.
+The operators permitted in Tcl expressions are a subset of
+the operators permitted in C expressions, and they have the
+same meaning and precedence as the corresponding C operators.
+Expressions almost always yield numeric results
+(integer or floating-point values).
+For example, the expression
+.CS
+\fBexpr 8.2 + 6\fR
+.CE
+evaluates to 14.2.
+Tcl expressions differ from C expressions in the way that
+operands are specified.  Also, Tcl expressions support
+non-numeric operands and string comparisons.
+.SH OPERANDS
+.PP
+A Tcl expression consists of a combination of operands, operators,
+and parentheses.
+White space may be used between the operands and operators and
+parentheses; it is ignored by the expression's instructions.
+Where possible, operands are interpreted as integer values.
+Integer values may be specified in decimal (the normal case), in octal (if the
+first character of the operand is \fB0\fR), or in hexadecimal (if the first
+two characters of the operand are \fB0x\fR).
+If an operand does not have one of the integer formats given
+above, then it is treated as a floating-point number if that is
+possible.  Floating-point numbers may be specified in any of the
+ways accepted by an ANSI-compliant C compiler (except that the
+\fBf\fR, \fBF\fR, \fBl\fR, and \fBL\fR suffixes will not be permitted in
+most installations).  For example, all of the
+following are valid floating-point numbers:  2.1, 3., 6e4, 7.91e+16.
+If no numeric interpretation is possible, then an operand is left
+as a string (and only a limited set of operators may be applied to
+it).
+.PP
+Operands may be specified in any of the following ways:
+.IP [1]
+As an numeric value, either integer or floating-point.
+.IP [2]
+As a Tcl variable, using standard \fB$\fR notation.
+The variable's value will be used as the operand.
+.IP [3]
+As a string enclosed in double-quotes.
+The expression parser will perform backslash, variable, and
+command substitutions on the information between the quotes,
+and use the resulting value as the operand
+.IP [4]
+As a string enclosed in braces.
+The characters between the open brace and matching close brace
+will be used as the operand without any substitutions.
+.IP [5]
+As a Tcl command enclosed in brackets.
+The command will be executed and its result will be used as
+the operand.
+.IP [6]
+As a mathematical function whose arguments have any of the above
+forms for operands, such as \fBsin($x)\fR.  See below for a list of defined
+functions.
+.LP
+Where substitutions occur above (e.g. inside quoted strings), they
+are performed by the expression's instructions.
+However, an additional layer of substitution may already have
+been performed by the command parser before the expression
+processor was called.
+As discussed below, it is usually best to enclose expressions
+in braces to prevent the command parser from performing substitutions
+on the contents.
+.PP
+For some examples of simple expressions, suppose the variable
+\fBa\fR has the value 3 and
+the variable \fBb\fR has the value 6.
+Then the command on the left side of each of the lines below
+will produce the value on the right side of the line:
+.CS
+.ta 6c
+\fBexpr 3.1 + $a	6.1
+expr 2 + "$a.$b"	5.6
+expr 4*[llength "6 2"]	8
+expr {{word one} < "word $a"}	0\fR
+.CE
+.SH OPERATORS
+.PP
+The valid operators are listed below, grouped in decreasing order
+of precedence:
+.TP 20
+\fB\-\0\0+\0\0~\0\0!\fR
+Unary minus, unary plus, bit-wise NOT, logical NOT.  None of these operands
+may be applied to string operands, and bit-wise NOT may be
+applied only to integers.
+.TP 20
+\fB*\0\0/\0\0%\fR
+Multiply, divide, remainder.  None of these operands may be
+applied to string operands, and remainder may be applied only
+to integers.
+The remainder will always have the same sign as the divisor and
+an absolute value smaller than the divisor.
+.TP 20
+\fB+\0\0\-\fR
+Add and subtract.  Valid for any numeric operands.
+.TP 20
+\fB<<\0\0>>\fR
+Left and right shift.  Valid for integer operands only.
+A right shift always propagates the sign bit.
+.TP 20
+\fB<\0\0>\0\0<=\0\0>=\fR
+Boolean less, greater, less than or equal, and greater than or equal.
+Each operator produces 1 if the condition is true, 0 otherwise.
+These operators may be applied to strings as well as numeric operands,
+in which case string comparison is used.
+.TP 20
+\fB==\0\0!=\fR
+Boolean equal and not equal.  Each operator produces a zero/one result.
+Valid for all operand types.
+.TP 20
+\fB&\fR
+Bit-wise AND.  Valid for integer operands only.
+.TP 20
+\fB^\fR
+Bit-wise exclusive OR.  Valid for integer operands only.
+.TP 20
+\fB|\fR
+Bit-wise OR.  Valid for integer operands only.
+.TP 20
+\fB&&\fR
+Logical AND.  Produces a 1 result if both operands are non-zero,
+0 otherwise.
+Valid for boolean and numeric (integers or floating-point) operands only.
+.TP 20
+\fB||\fR
+Logical OR.  Produces a 0 result if both operands are zero, 1 otherwise.
+Valid for boolean and numeric (integers or floating-point) operands only.
+.TP 20
+\fIx\fB?\fIy\fB:\fIz\fR
+If-then-else, as in C.  If \fIx\fR
+evaluates to non-zero, then the result is the value of \fIy\fR.
+Otherwise the result is the value of \fIz\fR.
+The \fIx\fR operand must have a numeric value.
+.LP
+See the C manual for more details on the results
+produced by each operator.
+All of the binary operators group left-to-right within the same
+precedence level.  For example, the command
+.CS
+\fBexpr 4*2 < 7\fR
+.CE
+returns 0.
+.PP
+The \fB&&\fR, \fB||\fR, and \fB?:\fR operators have ``lazy
+evaluation'', just as in C, 
+which means that operands are not evaluated if they are
+not needed to determine the outcome.  For example, in the command
+.CS
+\fBexpr {$v ? [a] : [b]}\fR
+.CE
+only one of \fB[a]\fR or \fB[b]\fR will actually be evaluated,
+depending on the value of \fB$v\fR.  Note, however, that this is
+only true if the entire expression is enclosed in braces;  otherwise
+the Tcl parser will evaluate both \fB[a]\fR and \fB[b]\fR before
+invoking the \fBexpr\fR command.
+.SH "MATH FUNCTIONS"
+.PP
+Tcl supports the following mathematical functions in expressions:
+.DS
+.ta 3c 6c 9c
+\fBacos\fR	\fBcos\fR	\fBhypot\fR	\fBsinh\fR
+\fBasin\fR	\fBcosh\fR	\fBlog\fR	\fBsqrt\fR
+\fBatan\fR	\fBexp\fR	\fBlog10\fR	\fBtan\fR
+\fBatan2\fR	\fBfloor\fR	\fBpow\fR	\fBtanh\fR
+\fBceil\fR	\fBfmod\fR	\fBsin\fR
+.DE
+Each of these functions invokes the math library function of the same
+name;  see the manual entries for the library functions for details
+on what they do.  Tcl also implements the following functions for
+conversion between integers and floating-point numbers and the
+generation of random numbers:
+.TP
+\fBabs(\fIarg\fB)\fR
+Returns the absolute value of \fIarg\fR.  \fIArg\fR may be either
+integer or floating-point, and the result is returned in the same form.
+.TP
+\fBdouble(\fIarg\fB)\fR
+If \fIarg\fR is a floating value, returns \fIarg\fR, otherwise converts
+\fIarg\fR to floating and returns the converted value.
+.TP
+\fBint(\fIarg\fB)\fR
+If \fIarg\fR is an integer value, returns \fIarg\fR, otherwise converts
+\fIarg\fR to integer by truncation and returns the converted value.
+.TP
+\fBrand()\fR
+Returns a floating point number from zero to just less than one or,
+in mathematical terms, the range [0,1).  The seed comes from the
+internal clock of the machine or may be set manual with the srand
+function.
+.TP
+\fBround(\fIarg\fB)\fR
+If \fIarg\fR is an integer value, returns \fIarg\fR, otherwise converts
+\fIarg\fR to integer by rounding and returns the converted value.
+.TP
+\fBsrand(\fIarg\fB)\fR
+The \fIarg\fR, which must be an integer, is used to reset the seed for
+the random number generator.  Returns the first random number from
+that seed.  Each interpreter has it's own seed.
+.PP
+In addition to these predefined functions, applications may
+define additional functions using \fBTcl_CreateMathFunc\fR().
+.SH "TYPES, OVERFLOW, AND PRECISION"
+.PP
+All internal computations involving integers are done with the C type
+\fIlong\fR, and all internal computations involving floating-point are
+done with the C type \fIdouble\fR.
+When converting a string to floating-point, exponent overflow is
+detected and results in a Tcl error.
+For conversion to integer from string, detection of overflow depends
+on the behavior of some routines in the local C library, so it should
+be regarded as unreliable.
+In any case, integer overflow and underflow are generally not detected
+reliably for intermediate results.  Floating-point overflow and underflow
+are detected to the degree supported by the hardware, which is generally
+pretty reliable.
+.PP
+Conversion among internal representations for integer, floating-point,
+and string operands is done automatically as needed.
+For arithmetic computations, integers are used until some
+floating-point number is introduced, after which floating-point is used.
+For example,
+.CS
+\fBexpr 5 / 4\fR
+.CE
+returns 1, while
+.CS
+\fBexpr 5 / 4.0\fR
+\fBexpr 5 / ( [string length "abcd"] + 0.0 )\fR
+.CE
+both return 1.25.
+Floating-point values are always returned with a ``\fB.\fR''
+or an \fBe\fR so that they will not look like integer values.  For
+example,
+.CS
+\fBexpr 20.0/5.0\fR
+.CE
+returns \fB4.0\fR, not \fB4\fR.
+
+.SH "STRING OPERATIONS"
+.PP
+String values may be used as operands of the comparison operators,
+although the expression evaluator tries to do comparisons as integer
+or floating-point when it can.
+If one of the operands of a comparison is a string and the other
+has a numeric value, the numeric operand is converted back to
+a string using the C \fIsprintf\fR format specifier
+\fB%d\fR for integers and \fB%g\fR for floating-point values.
+For example, the commands
+.CS
+\fBexpr {"0x03" > "2"}\fR
+\fBexpr {"0y" < "0x12"}\fR
+.CE
+both return 1.  The first comparison is done using integer
+comparison, and the second is done using string comparison after
+the second operand is converted to the string \fB18\fR.
+Because of Tcl's tendency to treat values as numbers whenever
+possible, it isn't generally a good idea to use operators like \fB==\fR
+when you really want string comparison and the values of the
+operands could be arbitrary;  it's better in these cases to use the
+\fBstring compare\fR command instead.
+
+.SH "PERFORMANCE CONSIDERATIONS"
+.VS
+.PP
+Enclose expressions in braces for the best speed and the smallest
+storage requirements.
+This allows the Tcl bytecode compiler to generate the best code.
+.PP
+As mentioned above, expressions are substituted twice:
+once by the Tcl parser and once by the \fBexpr\fR command.
+For example, the commands
+.CS
+\fBset a 3\fR
+\fBset b {$a + 2}\fR
+\fBexpr $b*4\fR
+.CE
+return 11, not a multiple of 4.
+This is because the Tcl parser will first substitute \fB$a + 2\fR for
+the variable \fBb\fR,
+then the \fBexpr\fR command will evaluate the expression \fB$a + 2*4\fR.
+.PP
+Most expressions do not require a second round of substitutions.
+Either they are enclosed in braces or, if not,
+their variable and command substitutions yield numbers or strings
+that don't themselves require substitutions.
+However, because a few unbraced expressions 
+need two rounds of substitutions,
+the bytecode compiler must emit
+additional instructions to handle this situation.
+The most expensive code is required for
+unbraced expressions that contain command substitutions.
+These expressions must be implemented by generating new code
+each time the expression is executed.

+.SH NAME
+fconfigure \- Set and get options on a channel
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+\fBfconfigure \fIchannelId\fR
+\fBfconfigure \fIchannelId\fR \fIname\fR
+\fBfconfigure \fIchannelId\fR \fIname value \fR?\fIname value ...\fR?
+.fi
+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+The \fBfconfigure\fR command sets and retrieves options for channels.
+\fIChannelId\fR identifies the channel for which to set or query an option.
+If no \fIname\fR or \fIvalue\fR arguments are supplied, the command
+returns a list containing alternating option names and values for the channel.
+If \fIname\fR is supplied but no \fIvalue\fR then the command returns
+the current value of the given option.
+If one or more pairs of \fIname\fR and \fIvalue\fR are supplied, the
+command sets each of the named options to the corresponding \fIvalue\fR;
+in this case the return value is an empty string.
+.PP
+The options described below are supported for all channels. In addition,
+each channel type may add options that only it supports. See the manual
+entry for the command that creates each type of channels for the options
+that that specific type of channel supports. For example, see the manual
+entry for the \fBsocket\fR command for its additional options.
+.TP
+\fB\-blocking\fR \fIboolean\fR
+The \fB\-blocking\fR option determines whether I/O operations on the
+channel can cause the process to block indefinitely.
+The value of the option must be a proper boolean value.
+Channels are normally in blocking mode;  if a channel is placed into
+nonblocking mode it will affect the operation of the \fBgets\fR,
+\fBread\fR, \fBputs\fR, \fBflush\fR, and \fBclose\fR commands;
+see the documentation for those commands for details.
+For nonblocking mode to work correctly, the application must be
+using the Tcl event loop (e.g. by calling \fBTcl_DoOneEvent\fR or
+invoking the \fBvwait\fR command).
+.TP
+\fB\-buffering\fR \fInewValue\fR
+If \fInewValue\fR is \fBfull\fR then the I/O system will buffer output
+until its internal buffer is full or until the \fBflush\fR command is
+invoked. If \fInewValue\fR is \fBline\fR, then the I/O system will
+automatically flush output for the channel whenever a newline character
+is output. If \fInewValue\fR is \fBnone\fR, the I/O system will flush
+automatically after every output operation.
+The default is for \fB\-buffering\fR to be set to \fBfull\fR except for
+channels that connect to terminal-like devices; for these channels the
+initial setting is \fBline\fR.
+.TP
+\fB\-buffersize\fR \fInewSize\fR
+\fINewvalue\fR must be an integer; its value is used to set the size of
+buffers, in bytes, subsequently allocated for this channel to store input
+or output. \fINewvalue\fR must be between ten and one million, allowing
+buffers of ten to one million bytes in size.
+.TP
+\fB\-eofchar\fR \fIchar\fR
+.TP
+\fB\-eofchar\fR \fB{\fIinChar outChar\fB}\fR
+This option supports DOS file systems that use Control-z (\ex1a) as
+an end of file marker.
+If \fIchar\fR is not an empty string, then this character signals
+end of file when it is encountered during input.
+For output, the end of file character is output when
+the channel is closed.
+If \fIchar\fR is the empty string, then there is no special
+end of file character marker.
+For read-write channels, a two-element list specifies
+the end of file marker for input and output, respectively.
+As a convenience, when setting the end-of-file character
+for a read-write channel
+you can specify a single value that will apply to both reading and writing.
+When querying the end-of-file character of a read-write channel,
+a two-element list will always be returned.
+The default value for \fB\-eofchar\fR is the empty string in all
+cases except for files under Windows.  In that case the \fB\-eofchar\fR
+is Control-z (\ex1a) for reading and the empty string for writing.
+.TP
+\fB\-translation\fR \fImode\fR
+.TP
+\fB\-translation\fR \fB{\fIinMode outMode\fB}\fR
+In Tcl scripts the end of a line is always represented using a
+single newline character (\en).
+However, in actual files and devices the end of a line may be
+represented differently on different platforms, or even for
+different devices on the same platform.  For example, under UNIX
+newlines are used in files, whereas carriage-return-linefeed
+sequences are normally used in network connections.
+On input (i.e., with \fBgets\fP and \fBread\fP)
+the Tcl I/O system automatically translates the external end-of-line
+representation into newline characters.
+Upon output (i.e., with \fBputs\fP),
+the I/O system translates newlines to the external
+end-of-line representation.
+The default translation mode, \fBauto\fP, handles all the common
+cases automatically, but the \fB\-translation\fR option provides
+explicit control over the end of line translations.
+.RS
+.PP
+The value associated with \fB\-translation\fR is a single item for
+read-only and write-only channels.
+The value is a two-element list for read-write channels;
+the read translation mode is the first element of the list,
+and the write translation mode is the second element.
+As a convenience, when setting the translation mode for a read-write channel
+you can specify a single value that will apply to both reading and writing.
+When querying the translation mode of a read-write channel,
+a two-element list will always be returned.
+The following values are currently supported:
+.TP
+\fBauto\fR
+As the input translation mode, \fBauto\fR treats any of newline (\fBlf\fP),
+carriage return (\fBcr\fP), or carriage return followed by a newline (\fBcrlf\fP)
+as the end of line representation.  The end of line representation can
+even change from line-to-line, and all cases are translated to a newline.
+As the output translation mode, \fBauto\fR chooses a platform specific
+representation; for sockets on all platforms Tcl
+chooses \fBcrlf\fR, for all Unix flavors, it chooses \fBlf\fR, for the
+Macintosh platform it chooses \fBcr\fR and for the various flavors of
+Windows it chooses \fBcrlf\fR.
+The default setting for \fB\-translation\fR is \fBauto\fR for both
+input and output.
+.TP
+\fBbinary\fR
+No end-of-line translations are performed.  This is nearly identical to
+\fBlf\fP mode, except that in addition \fBbinary\fP mode also sets the
+end of file character to the empty string, which disables it.
+See the description of
+\fB\-eofchar\fP for more information.
+.TP
+\fBcr\fR
+The end of a line in the underlying file or device is represented
+by a single carriage return character.
+As the input translation mode, \fBcr\fP mode converts carriage returns
+to newline characters.
+As the output translation mode, \fBcr\fP mode
+translates newline characters to carriage returns.
+This mode is typically used on Macintosh platforms.
+.TP
+\fBcrlf\fR
+The end of a line in the underlying file or device is represented
+by a carriage return character followed by a linefeed character.
+As the input translation mode, \fBcrlf\fP mode converts
+carriage-return-linefeed sequences
+to newline characters.
+As the output translation mode, \fBcrlf\fP mode
+translates newline characters to
+carriage-return-linefeed sequences.
+This mode is typically used on Windows platforms and for network
+connections.
+.TP
+\fBlf\fR
+The end of a line in the underlying file or device is represented
+by a single newline (linefeed) character.
+In this mode no translations occur during either input or output.
+This mode is typically used on UNIX platforms.

+.SH NAME
+fcopy \- Copy data from one channel to another.
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fBfcopy \fIinchan\fR \fIoutchan\fR ?\fB\-size \fIsize\fR? ?\fB\-command \fIcallback\fR?
+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+The \fBfcopy\fP command copies data from one I/O channel, \fIinchan\fR to another I/O channel, \fIoutchan\fR.
+The \fBfcopy\fP command leverages the buffering in the Tcl I/O system to
+avoid extra copies and to avoid buffering too much data in
+main memory when copying large files to slow destinations like
+network sockets.
+.PP
+The \fBfcopy\fP 
+command transfers data from \fIinchan\fR until end of file
+or \fIsize\fP bytes have been 
+transferred. If no \fB\-size\fP argument is given,
+then the copy goes until end of file.
+All the data read from \fIinchan\fR is copied to \fIoutchan\fR.
+Without the \fB\-command\fP option, \fBfcopy\fP blocks until the copy is complete
+and returns the number of bytes written to \fIoutchan\fR.
+.PP
+The \fB\-command\fP argument makes \fBfcopy\fP work in the background.
+In this case it returns immediately and the \fIcallback\fP is invoked
+later when the copy completes.
+The \fIcallback\fP is called with
+one or two additional 
+arguments that indicates how many bytes were written to \fIoutchan\fR.
+If an error occurred during the background copy, the second argument is the
+error string associated with the error.
+With a background copy,
+it is not necessary to put \fIinchan\fR or \fIoutchan\fR into
+non-blocking mode; the \fBfcopy\fP command takes care of that automatically.
+However, it is necessary to enter the event loop by using
+the \fBvwait\fP command or by using Tk.
+.PP
+You are not allowed to do other I/O operations with
+\fIinchan\fR or \fIoutchan\fR during a background fcopy.
+If either \fIinchan\fR or \fIoutchan\fR get closed
+while the copy is in progress, the current copy is stopped
+and the command callback is \fInot\fP made.
+If \fIinchan\fR is closed,
+then all data already queued for \fIoutchan\fR is written out.
+.PP
+Note that \fIinchan\fR can become readable during a background copy.
+You should turn off any \fBfileevent\fP handlers during a background
+copy so those handlers do not interfere with the copy.
+Any I/O attempted by a \fBfileevent\fP handler will get a "channel busy" error.
+.PP
+\fBFcopy\fR translates end-of-line sequences in \fIinchan\fR and \fIoutchan\fR
+according to the \fB\-translation\fR option
+for these channels.
+See the manual entry for \fBfconfigure\fR for details on the
+\fB\-translation\fR option.
+The translations mean that the number of bytes read from \fIinchan\fR
+can be different than the number of bytes written to \fIoutchan\fR.
+Only the number of bytes written to \fIoutchan\fR is reported,
+either as the return value of a synchronous \fBfcopy\fP or
+as the argument to the callback for an asynchronous \fBfcopy\fP.
+
+.SH EXAMPLE
+.PP
+This first example shows how the callback gets
+passed the number of bytes transferred.
+It also uses vwait to put the application into the event loop.
+Of course, this simplified example could be done without the command 
+callback.
+.DS
+proc Cleanup {in out bytes {error {}}} {
+    global total
+    set total $bytes
+    close $in
+    close $out
+    if {[string length $error] != 0} {
+	# error occurred during the copy
+    }
+}
+set in [open $file1]
+set out [socket $server $port]
+fcopy $in $out -command [list Cleanup $in $out]
+vwait total
+
+.DE
+.PP
+The second example copies in chunks and tests for end of file
+in the command callback
+.DS
+proc CopyMore {in out chunk bytes {error {}}} {
+    global total done
+    incr total $bytes
+    if {([string length $error] != 0) || [eof $in] {
+	set done $total
+	close $in
+	close $out
+    } else {
+	fcopy $in $out -command [list CopyMore $in $out $chunk] \\
+	    -size $chunk
+    }
+}
+set in [open $file1]
+set out [socket $server $port]

+file \- Manipulate file names and attributes
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fBfile \fIoption\fR \fIname\fR ?\fIarg arg ...\fR?
+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+This command provides several operations on a file's name or attributes.
+\fIName\fR is the name of a file; if it starts with a tilde, then tilde
+substitution is done before executing the command (see the manual entry for
+\fBfilename\fR for details).  \fIOption\fR indicates what to do with the
+file name.  Any unique abbreviation for \fIoption\fR is acceptable.  The
+valid options are:
+.TP
+\fBfile atime \fIname\fR
+.
+Returns a decimal string giving the time at which file \fIname\fR
+was last accessed.  The time is measured in the standard POSIX
+fashion as seconds from a fixed starting time (often January 1, 1970).
+If the file doesn't exist or its access time cannot be queried then an
+error is generated.
+.VS
+.TP
+\fBfile attributes \fIname\fR
+.br
+\fBfile attributes \fIname\fR ?\fBoption\fR?
+.br
+\fBfile attributes \fIname\fR ?\fBoption value option value...\fR?
+.RS
+This subcommand returns or sets platform specific values associated
+with a file. The first form returns a list of the platform specific
+flags and their values. The second form returns the value for the
+specific option. The third form sets one or more of the values. The
+values are as follows:
+.PP
+On Unix, \fB-group\fR gets or sets the group name for the file. A group id can
+be given to the command, but it returns a group name. \fB-owner\fR
+gets or sets the user name of the owner of the file. The command
+returns the owner name, but the numerical id can be passed when
+setting the owner. \fB-permissions\fR sets or retrieves the octal code
+that chmod(1) uses. This command does not support the symbolic
+attributes for chmod(1) at this time.
+.PP
+On Windows, \fB-archive\fR gives the value or sets or clears the
+archive attribute of the file. \fB-hidden\fR gives the value or sets
+or clears the hidden attribute of the file. \fB-longname\fR will
+expand each path element to its long version. This attribute cannot be
+set. \fB-readonly\fR gives the value or sets or clears the readonly
+attribute of the file. \fB-shortname\fR gives a string where every
+path element is replaced with its short (8.3) version of the
+name. This attribute cannot be set. \fB-system\fR gives or sets or
+clears the value of the system attribute of the file.
+.PP
+On Macintosh, \fB-creator\fR gives or sets the Finder creator type of
+the file. \fB-hidden\fR gives or sets or clears the hidden attribute
+of the file. \fB-readonly\fR gives or sets or clears the readonly
+attribute of the file. Note that directories can only be locked if
+File Sharing is turned on. \fB-type\fR gives or sets the Finder file
+type for the file.
+.RE
+.VE
+.PP
+\fBfile copy \fR?\fB\-force\fR? ?\fB\-\|\-\fR? \fIsource\fR \fItarget\fR
+.br
+\fBfile copy \fR?\fB\-force\fR? ?\fB\-\|\-\fR? \fIsource\fR ?\fIsource\fR ...? \fItargetDir\fR
+.RS
+The first form makes a copy of the file or directory \fIsource\fR under
+the pathname \fItarget\fR.  If \fItarget\fR is an existing directory,
+then the second form is used.  The second form makes a copy inside
+\fItargetDir\fR of each \fIsource\fR file listed.  If a directory is
+specified as a \fIsource\fR, then the contents of the directory will be
+recursively copied into \fItargetDir\fR.  Existing files will not be
+overwritten unless the \fB\-force\fR option is specified.  Trying to
+overwrite a non-empty directory, overwrite a directory with a file, or a
+file with a directory will all result in errors even if \fI\-force\fR was
+specified.  Arguments are processed in the order specified, halting at the
+first error, if any.  A \fB\-\|\-\fR marks the end of switches; the argument
+following the \fB\-\|\-\fR will be treated as a \fIsource\fR even if it
+starts with a \fB\-\fR.
+.RE
+.TP
+\fBfile delete \fR?\fB\-force\fR? ?\fB\-\|\-\fR? \fIpathname\fR ?\fIpathname\fR ... ?
+.
+Removes the file or directory specified by each \fIpathname\fR argument.
+Non-empty directories will be removed only if the \fB\-force\fR option is
+specified.  Trying to delete a non-existant file is not considered an
+error.  Trying to delete a read-only file will cause the file to be deleted,
+even if the \fB\-force\fR flags is not specified.  Arguments are processed
+in the order specified, halting at the first error, if any.  A \fB\-\|\-\fR
+marks the end of switches; the argument following the \fB\-\|\-\fR will be
+treated as a \fIpathname\fR even if it starts with a \fB\-\fR.
+.TP
+\fBfile dirname \fIname\fR
+Returns a name comprised of all of the path components in \fIname\fR
+excluding the last element.  If \fIname\fR is a relative file name and
+only contains one path element, then returns ``\fB.\fR'' (or ``\fB:\fR''
+on the Macintosh).  If \fIname\fR refers to a root directory, then the
+root directory is returned.  For example,
+.RS
+.CS
+\fBfile dirname c:/\fR
+.CE
+returns \fBc:/\fR. 
+.PP
+Note that tilde substitution will only be
+performed if it is necessary to complete the command. For example,
+.CS
+\fBfile dirname ~/src/foo.c\fR
+.CE
+returns \fB~/src\fR, whereas
+.CS
+\fBfile dirname ~\fR
+.CE
+returns \fB/home\fR (or something similar).
+.RE
+.TP
+\fBfile executable \fIname\fR
+.
+Returns \fB1\fR if file \fIname\fR is executable by the current user,
+\fB0\fR otherwise.  
+.TP
+\fBfile exists \fIname\fR
+.
+Returns \fB1\fR if file \fIname\fR exists and the current user has
+search privileges for the directories leading to it, \fB0\fR otherwise.
+.TP
+\fBfile extension \fIname\fR
+.
+Returns all of the characters in \fIname\fR after and including the last
+dot in the last element of \fIname\fR.  If there is no dot in the last
+element of \fIname\fR then returns the empty string.
+.TP
+\fBfile isdirectory \fIname\fR
+.
+Returns \fB1\fR if file \fIname\fR is a directory, \fB0\fR otherwise.
+.TP
+\fBfile isfile \fIname\fR
+.
+Returns \fB1\fR if file \fIname\fR is a regular file, \fB0\fR otherwise.
+.TP
+\fBfile join \fIname\fR ?\fIname ...\fR?
+.
+Takes one or more file names and combines them, using the correct path
+separator for the current platform.  If a particular \fIname\fR is
+relative, then it will be joined to the previous file name argument.
+Otherwise, any earlier arguments will be discarded, and joining will
+proceed from the current argument.  For example,
+.RS
+.CS
+\fBfile join a b /foo bar\fR
+.CE
+returns \fB/foo/bar\fR.
+.PP
+Note that any of the names can contain separators, and that the result
+is always canonical for the current platform: \fB/\fR for Unix and
+Windows, and \fB:\fR for Macintosh.
+.RE
+.TP
+\fBfile lstat \fIname varName\fR
+.
+Same as \fBstat\fR option (see below) except uses the \fIlstat\fR
+kernel call instead of \fIstat\fR.  This means that if \fIname\fR
+refers to a symbolic link the information returned in \fIvarName\fR
+is for the link rather than the file it refers to.  On systems that
+don't support symbolic links this option behaves exactly the same
+as the \fBstat\fR option.
+.TP
+\fBfile mkdir \fIdir\fR ?\fIdir\fR ...?
+.
+Creates each directory specified.  For each pathname \fIdir\fR specified,
+this command will create all non-existing parent directories as
+well as \fIdir\fR itself.  If an existing directory is specified, then
+no action is taken and no error is returned.  Trying to overwrite an existing
+file with a directory will result in an error.  Arguments are processed in
+the order specified, halting at the first error, if any.
+.TP
+\fBfile mtime \fIname\fR
+.
+Returns a decimal string giving the time at which file \fIname\fR was
+last modified.  The time is measured in the standard POSIX fashion as
+seconds from a fixed starting time (often January 1, 1970).  If the file
+doesn't exist or its modified time cannot be queried then an error is
+generated.
+.VS
+.TP
+\fBfile nativename \fIname\fR
+.
+Returns the platform-specific name of the file. This is useful if the
+filename is needed to pass to a platform-specific call, such as exec
+under Windows or AppleScript on the Macintosh.
+.VE
+.TP
+\fBfile owned \fIname\fR 
+.
+Returns \fB1\fR if file \fIname\fR is owned by the current user, \fB0\fR
+otherwise.
+.TP
+\fBfile pathtype \fIname\fR
+.
+Returns one of \fBabsolute\fR, \fBrelative\fR, \fBvolumerelative\fR.  If
+\fIname\fR refers to a specific file on a specific volume, the path type
+will be \fBabsolute\fR.  If \fIname\fR refers to a file relative to the
+current working directory, then the path type will be \fBrelative\fR.  If
+\fIname\fR refers to a file relative to the current working directory on
+a specified volume, or to a specific file on the current working volume, then
+the file type is \fBvolumerelative\fR.
+.TP
+\fBfile readable \fIname\fR
+.
+Returns \fB1\fR if file \fIname\fR is readable by the current user,
+\fB0\fR otherwise. 
+.TP
+\fBfile readlink \fIname\fR
+.
+Returns the value of the symbolic link given by \fIname\fR (i.e. the name
+of the file it points to).  If \fIname\fR isn't a symbolic link or its
+value cannot be read, then an error is returned.  On systems that don't
+support symbolic links this option is undefined.
+.PP
+\fBfile rename \fR?\fB\-force\fR? ?\fB\-\|\-\fR? \fIsource\fR \fItarget\fR
+.br
+\fBfile rename \fR?\fB\-force\fR? ?\fB\-\|\-\fR? \fIsource\fR ?\fIsource\fR ...? \fItargetDir\fR
+.RS
+The first form takes the file or directory specified by pathname
+\fIsource\fR and renames it to \fItarget\fR, moving the file if the
+pathname \fItarget\fR specifies a name in a different directory.  If
+\fItarget\fR is an existing directory, then the second form is used.  The
+second form moves each \fIsource\fR file or directory into the directory
+\fItargetDir\fR.  Existing files will not be overwritten unless the
+\fB\-force\fR option is specified.  Trying to overwrite a non-empty
+directory, overwrite a directory with a file, or a file with a directory
+will all result in errors.  Arguments are processed in the order specified,
+halting at the first error, if any.  A \fB\-\|\-\fR marks the end of
+switches; the argument following the \fB\-\|\-\fR will be treated as a
+\fIsource\fR even if it starts with a \fB\-\fR.
+.RE
+.TP
+\fBfile rootname \fIname\fR
+.
+Returns all of the characters in \fIname\fR up to but not including the
+last ``.'' character in the last component of name.  If the last
+component of \fIname\fR doesn't contain a dot, then returns \fIname\fR.
+.TP
+\fBfile size \fIname\fR
+.
+Returns a decimal string giving the size of file \fIname\fR in bytes.  If
+the file doesn't exist or its size cannot be queried then an error is
+generated.
+.TP
+\fBfile split \fIname\fR
+.
+Returns a list whose elements are the path components in \fIname\fR.  The
+first element of the list will have the same path type as \fIname\fR.
+All other elements will be relative.  Path separators will be discarded
+unless they are needed ensure that an element is unambiguously relative.
+For example, under Unix
+.RS
+.CS
+\fBfile split /foo/~bar/baz\fR
+.CE
+returns \fB/\0\0foo\0\0./~bar\0\0baz\fR to ensure that later commands
+that use the third component do not attempt to perform tilde
+substitution.
+.RE
+.TP
+\fBfile stat  \fIname varName\fR
+.
+Invokes the \fBstat\fR kernel call on \fIname\fR, and uses the variable
+given by \fIvarName\fR to hold information returned from the kernel call.
+\fIVarName\fR is treated as an array variable, and the following elements
+of that variable are set: \fBatime\fR, \fBctime\fR, \fBdev\fR, \fBgid\fR,
+\fBino\fR, \fBmode\fR, \fBmtime\fR, \fBnlink\fR, \fBsize\fR, \fBtype\fR,
+\fBuid\fR.  Each element except \fBtype\fR is a decimal string with the
+value of the corresponding field from the \fBstat\fR return structure;
+see the manual entry for \fBstat\fR for details on the meanings of the
+values.  The \fBtype\fR element gives the type of the file in the same
+form returned by the command \fBfile type\fR.  This command returns an
+empty string.
+.TP
+\fBfile tail \fIname\fR
+.
+Returns all of the characters in \fIname\fR after the last directory
+separator.  If \fIname\fR contains no separators then returns
+\fIname\fR.
+.TP
+\fBfile type \fIname\fR
+.
+Returns a string giving the type of file \fIname\fR, which will be one of
+\fBfile\fR, \fBdirectory\fR, \fBcharacterSpecial\fR, \fBblockSpecial\fR,
+\fBfifo\fR, \fBlink\fR, or \fBsocket\fR.
+.TP
+\fBfile volume\fR
+. 
+Returns the absolute paths to the volumes mounted on the system, as a proper 
+Tcl list.  On the Macintosh, this will be a list of the mounted drives, 
+both local and network.  N.B. if two drives have the same name, they will 
+both appear on the volume list, but there is currently no way, from Tcl, to 
+access any but the first of these drives.  On UNIX, the command will always return 
+"/", since all filesystems are locally mounted.  On Windows, it will return 
+a list of the available local drives (e.g. {a:/ c:/}).
+.TP
+\fBfile writable \fIname\fR
+.
+Returns \fB1\fR if file \fIname\fR is writable by the current user,
+\fB0\fR otherwise.

+fileevent \- Execute a script when a channel becomes readable or writable
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fBfileevent \fIchannelId \fBreadable \fR?\fIscript\fR?
+.sp
+\fBfileevent \fIchannelId \fBwritable \fR?\fIscript\fR?
+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+This command is used to create \fIfile event handlers\fR.  A file event
+handler is a binding between a channel and a script, such that the script
+is evaluated whenever the channel becomes readable or writable.  File event
+handlers are most commonly used to allow data to be received from another
+process on an event-driven basis, so that the receiver can continue to
+interact with the user while waiting for the data to arrive.  If an
+application invokes \fBgets\fR or \fBread\fR on a blocking channel when
+there is no input data available, the process will block; until the input
+data arrives, it will not be able to service other events, so it will
+appear to the user to ``freeze up''.  With \fBfileevent\fR, the process can
+tell when data is present and only invoke \fBgets\fR or \fBread\fR when
+they won't block.
+.PP
+The \fIchannelId\fR argument to \fBfileevent\fR refers to an open channel,
+such as the return value from a previous \fBopen\fR or \fBsocket\fR
+command.
+If the \fIscript\fR argument is specified, then \fBfileevent\fR
+creates a new event handler:  \fIscript\fR will be evaluated
+whenever the channel becomes readable or writable (depending on the
+second argument to \fBfileevent\fR).
+In this case \fBfileevent\fR returns an empty string.
+The \fBreadable\fR and \fBwritable\fR event handlers for a file
+are independent, and may be created and deleted separately.
+However, there may be at most one \fBreadable\fR and one \fBwritable\fR
+handler for a file at a given time in a given interpreter.
+If \fBfileevent\fR is called when the specified handler already
+exists in the invoking interpreter, the new script replaces the old one.
+.PP
+If the \fIscript\fR argument is not specified, \fBfileevent\fR
+returns the current script for \fIchannelId\fR, or an empty string
+if there is none.
+If the \fIscript\fR argument is specified as an empty string
+then the event handler is deleted, so that no script will be invoked.

+A channel is considered to be readable if there is unread data
+available on the underlying device.
+A channel is also considered to be readable if there is unread
+data in an input buffer, except in the special case where the
+most recent attempt to read from the channel was a \fBgets\fR
+call that could not find a complete line in the input buffer.
+This feature allows a file to be read a line at a time in nonblocking mode
+using events.
+A channel is also considered to be readable if an end of file or
+error condition is present on the underlying file or device.
+It is important for \fIscript\fR to check for these conditions
+and handle them appropriately;  for example, if there is no special
+check for end of file, an infinite loop may occur where \fIscript\fR
+reads no data, returns, and is immediately invoked again.
+.PP
+A channel is considered to be writable if at least one byte of data
+can be written to the underlying file or device without blocking,
+or if an error condition is present on the underlying file or device.
+.PP
+Event-driven I/O works best for channels that have been
+placed into nonblocking mode with the \fBfconfigure\fR command.
+In blocking mode, a \fBputs\fR command may block if you give it
+more data than the underlying file or device can accept, and a
+\fBgets\fR or \fBread\fR command will block if you attempt to read
+more data than is ready;  no events will be processed while the
+commands block.
+In nonblocking mode \fBputs\fR, \fBread\fR, and \fBgets\fR never block.

+.SH NAME
+filename \- File name conventions supported by Tcl commands
+.BE
+.SH INTRODUCTION
+.PP
+All Tcl commands and C procedures that take file names as arguments
+expect the file names to be in one of three forms, depending on the
+current platform.  On each platform, Tcl supports file names in the
+standard forms(s) for that platform.  In addition, on all platforms,
+Tcl supports a Unix-like syntax intended to provide a convenient way
+of constructing simple file names.  However, scripts that are intended
+to be portable should not assume a particular form for file names.
+Instead, portable scripts must use the \fBfile split\fR and \fBfile
+join\fR commands to manipulate file names (see the \fBfile\fR manual
+entry for more details).
+
+.SH PATH TYPES
+.PP
+File names are grouped into three general types based on the starting point
+for the path used to specify the file: absolute, relative, and
+volume-relative.  Absolute names are completely qualified, giving a path to
+the file relative to a particular volume and the root directory on that
+volume.  Relative names are unqualified, giving a path to the file relative 
+to the current working directory.  Volume-relative names are partially
+qualified, either giving the path relative to the root directory on the
+current volume, or relative to the current directory of the specified
+volume.  The \fBfile pathtype\fR command can be used to determine the
+type of a given path.
+
+.SH PATH SYNTAX
+.PP
+The rules for native names depend on the value reported in the Tcl
+array element \fBtcl_platform(platform)\fR:
+.TP 10
+\fBmac\fR
+On Apple Macintosh systems, Tcl supports two forms of path names.  The
+normal Mac style names use colons as path separators.  Paths may be
+relative or absolute, and file names may contain any character other
+than colon.  A leading colon causes the rest of the path to be
+interpreted relative to the current directory.  If a path contains a
+colon that is not at the beginning, then the path is interpreted as an
+absolute path.  Sequences of two or more colons anywhere in the path
+are used to construct relative paths where \fB::\fR refers to the
+parent of the current directory, \fB:::\fR refers to the parent of the
+parent, and so forth.
+.RS
+.PP
+In addition to Macintosh style names, Tcl also supports a subset of
+Unix-like names.  If a path contains no colons, then it is interpreted
+like a Unix path.  Slash is used as the path separator.  The file name
+\fB\&.\fR refers to the current directory, and \fB\&..\fR refers to the
+parent of the current directory.  However, some names like \fB/\fR or
+\fB/..\fR have no mapping, and are interpreted as Macintosh names.  In
+general, commands that generate file names will return Macintosh style
+names, but commands that accept file names will take both Macintosh
+and Unix-style names.
+.PP
+The following examples illustrate various forms of path names:
+.TP 15
+\fB:\fR
+Relative path to the current folder.
+.TP 15
+\fBMyFile\fR
+Relative path to a file named \fBMyFile\fR in the current folder.
+.TP 15
+\fBMyDisk:MyFile\fR
+Absolute path to a file named \fBMyFile\fR on the device named \fBMyDisk\fR.
+.TP 15
+\fB:MyDir:MyFile\fR
+Relative path to a file name \fBMyFile\fR in a folder named
+\fBMyDir\fR in the current folder.
+.TP 15
+\fB::MyFile\fR
+Relative path to a file named \fBMyFile\fR in the folder above the
+current folder.
+.TP 15
+\fB:::MyFile\fR
+Relative path to a file named \fBMyFile\fR in the folder two levels above the
+current folder. 
+.TP 15
+\fB/MyDisk/MyFile\fR
+Absolute path to a file named \fBMyFile\fR on the device named
+\fBMyDisk\fR.
+.TP 15
+\fB\&../MyFile\fR
+Relative path to a file named \fBMyFile\fR in the folder above the
+current folder.
+.RE
+.TP
+\fBunix\fR
+On Unix platforms, Tcl uses path names where the components are
+separated by slashes.  Path names may be relative or absolute, and
+file names may contain any character other than slash.  The file names
+\fB\&.\fR and \fB\&..\fR are special and refer to the current directory
+and the parent of the current directory respectively.  Multiple
+adjacent slash characters are interpreted as a single separator.
+The following examples illustrate various forms of path names:
+.RS
+.TP 15
+\fB/\fR
+Absolute path to the root directory.
+.TP 15
+\fB/etc/passwd\fR
+Absolute path to the file named \fBpasswd\fR in the directory
+\fBetc\fR in the root directory.
+.TP 15
+\fB\&.\fR
+Relative path to the current directory.
+.TP 15
+\fBfoo\fR
+Relative path to the file \fBfoo\fR in the current directory.
+.TP 15
+\fBfoo/bar\fR
+Relative path to the file \fBbar\fR in the directory \fBfoo\fR in the
+current directory.
+.TP 15
+\fB\&../foo\fR
+Relative path to the file \fBfoo\fR in the directory above the current
+directory. 
+.RE
+.TP
+\fBwindows\fR
+On Microsoft Windows platforms, Tcl supports both drive-relative and UNC
+style names.  Both \fB/\fR and \fB\e\fR may be used as directory separators
+in either type of name.  Drive-relative names consist of an optional drive
+specifier followed by an absolute or relative path.  UNC paths follow the
+general form \fB\e\eservername\esharename\epath\efile\fR.  In both forms,
+the file names \fB.\fR and \fB..\fR are special and refer to the current
+directory and the parent of the current directory respectively.  The
+following examples illustrate various forms of path names:
+.RS
+.TP 15
+\fB\&\e\eHost\eshare/file\fR
+Absolute UNC path to a file called \fBfile\fR in the root directory of
+the export point \fBshare\fR on the host \fBHost\fR.
+.TP 15
+\fBc:foo\fR
+Volume-relative path to a file \fBfoo\fR in the current directory on drive
+\fBc\fR.
+.TP 15
+\fBc:/foo\fR
+Absolute path to a file \fBfoo\fR in the root directory of drive
+\fBc\fR.
+.TP 15
+\fBfoo\ebar\fR
+Relative path to a file \fBbar\fR in the \fBfoo\fR directory in the current
+directory on the current volume.
+.TP 15
+\fB\&\efoo\fR
+Volume-relative path to a file \fBfoo\fR in the root directory of the current
+volume.
+.RE
+
+.SH TILDE SUBSTITUTION
+.PP
+In addition to the file name rules described above, Tcl also supports
+\fIcsh\fR-style tilde substitution.  If a file name starts with a
+tilde, then the file name will be interpreted as if the first element
+is replaced with the location of the home directory for the given
+user.  If the tilde is followed immediately by a separator, then the
+\fB$HOME\fR environment variable is substituted.  Otherwise the
+characters between the tilde and the next separator are taken as a
+user name, which is used to retrieve the user's home directory for
+substitution.
+.PP
+The Macintosh and Windows platforms do not support tilde substitution
+when a user name follows the tilde.  On these platforms, attempts to
+use a tilde followed by a user name will generate an error.  File
+names that have a tilde without a user name will be substituted using
+the \fB$HOME\fR environment variable, just like for Unix.
+
+.SH PORTABILITY ISSUES
+.PP
+Not all file systems are case sensitive, so scripts should avoid code
+that depends on the case of characters in a file name.  In addition,
+the character sets allowed on different devices may differ, so scripts
+should choose file names that do not contain special characters like:
+\fB<>:"/\e|\fR.  The safest approach is to use names consisting of
+alphanumeric characters only.  Also Windows 3.1 only supports file
+names with a root of no more than 8 characters and an extension of no
+more than 3 characters.

+.SH NAME
+for \- ``For'' loop
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fBfor \fIstart test next body\fR
+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+\fBFor\fR is a looping command, similar in structure to the C
+\fBfor\fR statement.  The \fIstart\fR, \fInext\fR, and
+\fIbody\fR arguments must be Tcl command strings, and \fItest\fR
+is an expression string.
+The \fBfor\fR command first invokes the Tcl interpreter to
+execute \fIstart\fR.  Then it repeatedly evaluates \fItest\fR as
+an expression; if the result is non-zero it invokes the Tcl
+interpreter on \fIbody\fR, then invokes the Tcl interpreter on \fInext\fR,
+then repeats the loop.  The command terminates when \fItest\fR evaluates
+to 0.  If a \fBcontinue\fR command is invoked within \fIbody\fR then
+any remaining commands in the current execution of \fIbody\fR are skipped;
+processing continues by invoking the Tcl interpreter on \fInext\fR, then
+evaluating \fItest\fR, and so on.  If a \fBbreak\fR command is invoked
+within \fIbody\fR
+or \fInext\fR,
+then the \fBfor\fR command will
+return immediately.
+The operation of \fBbreak\fR and \fBcontinue\fR are similar to the
+corresponding statements in C.
+\fBFor\fR returns an empty string.
+.PP
+Note: \fItest\fR should almost always be enclosed in braces.  If not,
+variable substitutions will be made before the \fBfor\fR
+command starts executing, which means that variable changes
+made by the loop body will not be considered in the expression.
+This is likely to result in an infinite loop.  If \fItest\fR is
+enclosed in braces, variable substitutions are delayed until the
+expression is evaluated (before
+each loop iteration), so changes in the variables will be visible.
+For an example, try the following script with and without the braces
+around \fB$x<10\fR:
+.CS
+for {set x 0} {$x<10} {incr x} {
+	puts "x is $x"

+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+The \fBforeach\fR command implements a loop where the loop
+variable(s) take on values from one or more lists.
+In the simplest case there is one loop variable, \fIvarname\fR,
+and one list, \fIlist\fR, that is a list of values to assign to \fIvarname\fR.
+The \fIbody\fR argument is a Tcl script.
+For each element of \fIlist\fR (in order
+from first to last), \fBforeach\fR assigns the contents of the
+element to \fIvarname\fR as if the \fBlindex\fR command had been used
+to extract the element, then calls the Tcl interpreter to execute
+\fIbody\fR.
+.PP
+In the general case there can be more than one value list
+(e.g., \fIlist1\fR and \fIlist2\fR),
+and each value list can be associated with a list of loop variables
+(e.g., \fIvarlist1\fR and \fIvarlist2\fR).
+During each iteration of the loop
+the variables of each \fIvarlist\fP are assigned
+consecutive values from the corresponding \fIlist\fP.
+Values in each \fIlist\fP are used in order from first to last,
+and each value is used exactly once.
+The total number of loop iterations is large enough to use
+up all the values from all the value lists.
+If a value list does not contain enough
+elements for each of its loop variables in each iteration,
+empty values are used for the missing elements.
+.PP
+The \fBbreak\fR and \fBcontinue\fR statements may be
+invoked inside \fIbody\fR, with the same effect as in the \fBfor\fR
+command.  \fBForeach\fR returns an empty string.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+.PP
+The following loop uses i and j as loop variables to iterate over
+pairs of elements of a single list.
+.DS
+set x {}
+foreach {i j} {a b c d e f} {
+    lappend x $j $i
+}
+# The value of x is "b a d c f e"
+# There are 3 iterations of the loop.

+.PP
+The next loop uses i and j to iterate over two lists in parallel.

+    lappend x $i $j
+}
+# The value of x is "a d b e c f {} g"

+.SH NAME
+format \- Format a string in the style of sprintf
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fBformat \fIformatString \fR?\fIarg arg ...\fR?
+.BE
+
+.SH INTRODUCTION
+.PP
+This command generates a formatted string in the same way as the
+ANSI C \fBsprintf\fR procedure (it uses \fBsprintf\fR in its
+implementation).
+\fIFormatString\fR indicates how to format the result, using
+\fB%\fR conversion specifiers as in \fBsprintf\fR, and the additional
+arguments, if any, provide values to be substituted into the result.
+The return value from \fBformat\fR is the formatted string.
+
+.SH "DETAILS ON FORMATTING"
+.PP
+The command operates by scanning \fIformatString\fR from left to right. 
+Each character from the format string is appended to the result
+string unless it is a percent sign.
+If the character is a \fB%\fR then it is not copied to the result string.
+Instead, the characters following the \fB%\fR character are treated as
+a conversion specifier.
+The conversion specifier controls the conversion of the next successive
+\fIarg\fR to a particular format and the result is appended to 
+the result string in place of the conversion specifier.
+If there are multiple conversion specifiers in the format string,
+then each one controls the conversion of one additional \fIarg\fR.
+The \fBformat\fR command must be given enough \fIarg\fRs to meet the needs
+of all of the conversion specifiers in \fIformatString\fR.
+.PP
+Each conversion specifier may contain up to six different parts:
+an XPG3 position specifier,
+a set of flags, a minimum field width, a precision, a length modifier,
+and a conversion character.
+Any of these fields may be omitted except for the conversion character.
+The fields that are present must appear in the order given above.
+The paragraphs below discuss each of these fields in turn.
+.PP
+If the \fB%\fR is followed by a decimal number and a \fB$\fR, as in
+``\fB%2$d\fR'', then the value to convert is not taken from the
+next sequential argument.
+Instead, it is taken from the argument indicated by the number,
+where 1 corresponds to the first \fIarg\fR.
+If the conversion specifier requires multiple arguments because
+of \fB*\fR characters in the specifier then
+successive arguments are used, starting with the argument
+given by the number.
+This follows the XPG3 conventions for positional specifiers.
+If there are any positional specifiers in \fIformatString\fR
+then all of the specifiers must be positional.
+.PP
+The second portion of a conversion specifier may contain any of the
+following flag characters, in any order:
+.TP 10
+\fB\-\fR
+Specifies that the converted argument should be left-justified 
+in its field (numbers are normally right-justified with leading 
+spaces if needed).
+.TP 10
+\fB+\fR
+Specifies that a number should always be printed with a sign, 
+even if positive.
+.TP 10
+\fIspace\fR
+Specifies that a space should be added to the beginning of the 
+number if the first character isn't a sign.
+.TP 10
+\fB0\fR
+Specifies that the number should be padded on the left with 
+zeroes instead of spaces.
+.TP 10
+\fB#\fR
+Requests an alternate output form. For \fBo\fR and \fBO\fR
+conversions it guarantees that the first digit is always \fB0\fR.
+For \fBx\fR or \fBX\fR conversions, \fB0x\fR or \fB0X\fR (respectively)
+will be added to the beginning of the result unless it is zero.
+For all floating-point conversions (\fBe\fR, \fBE\fR, \fBf\fR,
+\fBg\fR, and \fBG\fR) it guarantees that the result always 
+has a decimal point.
+For \fBg\fR and \fBG\fR conversions it specifies that 
+trailing zeroes should not be removed.
+.PP
+The third portion of a conversion specifier is a number giving a
+minimum field width for this conversion.
+It is typically used to make columns line up in tabular printouts.
+If the converted argument contains fewer characters than the
+minimum field width then it will be padded so that it is as wide
+as the minimum field width.
+Padding normally occurs by adding extra spaces on the left of the
+converted argument, but the \fB0\fR and \fB\-\fR flags 
+may be used to specify padding with zeroes on the left or with
+spaces on the right, respectively.
+If the minimum field width is specified as \fB*\fR rather than
+a number, then the next argument to the \fBformat\fR command
+determines the minimum field width; it must be a numeric string.
+.PP
+The fourth portion of a conversion specifier is a precision,
+which consists of a period followed by a number.
+The number is used in different ways for different conversions.
+For \fBe\fR, \fBE\fR, and \fBf\fR conversions it specifies the number
+of digits to appear to the right of the decimal point.
+For \fBg\fR and \fBG\fR conversions it specifies the total number
+of digits to appear, including those on both sides of the decimal
+point (however, trailing zeroes after the decimal point will still
+be omitted unless the \fB#\fR flag has been specified).
+For integer conversions, it specifies a minimum number of digits
+to print (leading zeroes will be added if necessary).
+For \fBs\fR conversions it specifies the maximum number of characters to be 
+printed; if the string is longer than this then the trailing characters will be dropped.
+If the precision is specified with \fB*\fR rather than a number
+then the next argument to the \fBformat\fR command determines the precision;
+it must be a numeric string.
+.PP
+The fifth part of a conversion specifier is a length modifier,
+which must be \fBh\fR or \fBl\fR.
+If it is \fBh\fR it specifies that the numeric value should be
+truncated to a 16-bit value before converting.
+This option is rarely useful.
+The \fBl\fR modifier is ignored.
+.PP
+The last thing in a conversion specifier is an alphabetic character
+that determines what kind of conversion to perform.
+The following conversion characters are currently supported:
+.TP 10
+\fBd\fR
+Convert integer to signed decimal string.
+.TP 10
+\fBu\fR
+Convert integer to unsigned decimal string.
+.TP 10
+\fBi\fR
+Convert integer to signed decimal string;  the integer may either be
+in decimal, in octal (with a leading \fB0\fR) or in hexadecimal
+(with a leading \fB0x\fR).
+.TP 10
+\fBo\fR
+Convert integer to unsigned octal string.
+.TP 10
+\fBx\fR or \fBX\fR
+Convert integer to unsigned hexadecimal string, using digits
+``0123456789abcdef'' for \fBx\fR and ``0123456789ABCDEF'' for \fBX\fR).
+.TP 10
+\fBc\fR
+Convert integer to the 8-bit character it represents.
+.TP 10
+\fBs\fR
+No conversion; just insert string.
+.TP 10
+\fBf\fR
+Convert floating-point number to signed decimal string of 
+the form \fIxx.yyy\fR, where the number of \fIy\fR's is determined by 
+the precision (default: 6).
+If the precision is 0 then no decimal point is output.
+.TP 10
+\fBe\fR or \fBe\fR
+Convert floating-point number to scientific notation in the

+For \fB%c\fR conversions the argument must be a decimal string,
+which will then be converted to the corresponding character value.

+converted as if the \fBl\fR modifier were present (i.e. type
+\fBdouble\fR is used for the internal representation).
+If the \fBh\fR modifier is specified then integer values are truncated
+to \fBshort\fR before conversion.

+\fBgets \fIchannelId\fR ?\fIvarName\fR?
+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+This command reads the next line from \fIchannelId\fR, returns everything
+in the line up to (but not including) the end-of-line character(s), and
+discards the end-of-line character(s).
+If \fIvarName\fR is omitted the line is returned as the result of the
+command.
+If \fIvarName\fR is specified then the line is placed in the variable by
+that name and the return value is a count of the number of characters
+returned.
+.PP
+If end of file occurs while scanning for an end of
+line, the command returns whatever input is available up to the end of file.
+If \fIchannelId\fR is in nonblocking mode and there is not a full
+line of input available, the command returns an empty string and
+does not consume any input.
+If \fIvarName\fR is specified and an empty string is returned in
+\fIvarName\fR because of end-of-file or because of insufficient
+data in nonblocking mode, then the return count is -1.
+Note that if \fIvarName\fR is not specified then the end-of-file
+and no-full-line-available cases can
+produce the same results as if there were an input line consisting
+only of the end-of-line character(s).
+The \fBeof\fR and \fBfblocked\fR commands can be used to distinguish
+these three cases.

+.SH NAME
+glob \- Return names of files that match patterns
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fBglob \fR?\fIswitches\fR? \fIpattern \fR?\fIpattern ...\fR?
+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+This command performs file name ``globbing'' in a fashion similar to
+the csh shell.  It returns a list of the files whose names match any
+of the \fIpattern\fR arguments.
+.LP
+If the initial arguments to \fBglob\fR start with \fB\-\fR then
+they are treated as switches.  The following switches are
+currently supported:
+.TP 15
+\fB\-nocomplain\fR
+Allows an empty list to be returned without error;  without this
+switch an error is returned if the result list would be empty.
+.TP 15
+\fB\-\|\-\fR
+Marks the end of switches.  The argument following this one will
+be treated as a \fIpattern\fR even if it starts with a \fB\-\fR.
+.PP
+The \fIpattern\fR arguments may contain any of the following
+special characters:
+.TP 10
+\fB?\fR
+Matches any single character.
+.TP 10
+\fB*\fR
+Matches any sequence of zero or more characters.
+.TP 10
+\fB[\fIchars\fB]\fR
+Matches any single character in \fIchars\fR.  If \fIchars\fR
+contains a sequence of the form \fIa\fB\-\fIb\fR then any
+character between \fIa\fR and \fIb\fR (inclusive) will match.
+.TP 10
+\fB\e\fIx\fR
+Matches the character \fIx\fR.
+.TP 10
+\fB{\fIa\fB,\fIb\fB,\fI...\fR}
+Matches any of the strings \fIa\fR, \fIb\fR, etc.
+.LP
+As with csh, a  ``.'' at the beginning of a file's name or just
+after a ``/'' must be matched explicitly or with a {} construct.
+In addition, all ``/'' characters must be matched explicitly.
+.LP
+If the first character in a \fIpattern\fR is ``~'' then it refers
+to the home directory for the user whose name follows the ``~''.
+If the ``~'' is followed immediately by ``/'' then the value of
+the HOME environment variable is used.
+.LP
+The \fBglob\fR command differs from csh globbing in two ways.
+First, it does not sort its result list (use the \fBlsort\fR
+command if you want the list sorted).
+Second, \fBglob\fR only returns the names of files that actually
+exist;  in csh no check for existence is made unless a pattern
+contains a ?, *, or [] construct.
+
+.SH PORTABILITY ISSUES
+.PP
+Unlike other Tcl commands that will accept both network and native
+style names (see the \fBfilename\fR manual entry for details on how
+native and network names are specified), the \fBglob\fR command only
+accepts native names.  Also, for Windows UNC names, the servername and
+sharename components of the path may not contain ?, *, or []
+constructs.

+.SH NAME
+history \- Manipulate the history list
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fBhistory \fR?\fIoption\fR? ?\fIarg arg ...\fR?
+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+The \fBhistory\fR command performs one of several operations related to
+recently-executed commands recorded in a history list.  Each of
+these recorded commands is referred to as an ``event''.  When
+specifying an event to the \fBhistory\fR command, the following
+forms may be used:
+.IP [1]
+A number:  if positive, it refers to the event with
+that number (all events are numbered starting at 1).  If the number
+is negative, it selects an event relative to the current event
+(\fB\-1\fR refers to the previous event, \fB\-2\fR to the one before that, and
+so on).  Event \fB0\fP refers to the current event.
+.IP [2]
+A string:  selects the most recent event that matches the string.
+An event is considered to match the string either if the string is
+the same as the first characters of the event, or if the string
+matches the event in the sense of the \fBstring match\fR command.
+.PP
+The \fBhistory\fR command can take any of the following forms:
+.TP
+\fBhistory\fR
+Same
+as \fBhistory info\fR, described below.
+.TP
+\fBhistory add\fI command \fR?\fBexec\fR?
+Adds the \fIcommand\fR argument to the history list as a new event.  If
+\fBexec\fR is specified (or abbreviated) then the command is also
+executed and its result is returned.  If \fBexec\fR isn't specified
+then an empty string is returned as result.
+.TP
+\fBhistory change\fI newValue\fR ?\fIevent\fR?
+Replaces the value recorded for an event with \fInewValue\fR.  \fIEvent\fR
+specifies the event to replace, and
+defaults to the \fIcurrent\fR event (not event \fB\-1\fR).  This command
+is intended for use in commands that implement new forms of history
+substitution and wish to replace the current event (which invokes the
+substitution) with the command created through substitution.  The return
+value is an empty string.
+.TP
+\fBhistory clear\fR
+Erase the history list.  The current keep limit is retained.
+The history event numbers are reset.
+.TP
+\fBhistory event\fR ?\fIevent\fR?
+Returns the value of the event given by \fIevent\fR.  \fIEvent\fR
+defaults to \fB\-1\fR.
+.TP
+\fBhistory info \fR?\fIcount\fR?
+Returns a formatted string (intended for humans to read) giving
+the event number and contents for each of the events in the history
+list except the current event.  If \fIcount\fR is specified
+then only the most recent \fIcount\fR events are returned.
+.TP
+\fBhistory keep \fR?\fIcount\fR?
+This command may be used to change the size of the history list to
+\fIcount\fR events.  Initially, 20 events are retained in the history
+list.  If \fIcount\fR is not specified, the current keep limit is returned.
+.TP
+\fBhistory nextid\fR
+Returns the number of the next event to be recorded
+in the history list.  It is useful for things like printing the
+event number in command-line prompts.
+.TP
+\fBhistory redo \fR?\fIevent\fR?
+Re-executes the command indicated by \fIevent\fR and return its result.
+\fIEvent\fR defaults to \fB\-1\fR.  This command results in history
+revision:  see below for details.
+.SH "HISTORY REVISION"
+.PP
+Pre-8.0 Tcl had a complex history revision mechanism.
+The current mechanism is more limited, and the old
+history operations \fBsubstitute\fP and \fBwords\fP have been removed.
+(As a consolation, the \fBclear\fP operation was added.)
+.PP
+The history option \fBredo\fR results in much simpler ``history revision''.
+When this option is invoked then the most recent event
+is modified to eliminate the history command and replace it with
+the result of the history command.
+If you want to redo an event without modifying history, then use
+the \fBevent\fP operation to retrieve some event,
+and the \fBadd\fP operation to add it to history and execute it.

+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+The \fBhttp\fR package provides the client side of the HTTP/1.0
+protocol.  The package implements the GET, POST, and HEAD operations
+of HTTP/1.0.  It allows configuration of a proxy host to get through
+firewalls.  The package is compatible with the \fBSafesock\fR security
+policy, so it can be used by untrusted applets to do URL fetching from
+a restricted set of hosts.
+.PP
+The \fB::http::geturl\fR procedure does a HTTP transaction.
+Its \fIoptions \fR determine whether a GET, POST, or HEAD transaction
+is performed.  
+The return value of \fB::http::geturl\fR is a token for the transaction.
+The value is also the name of an array in the ::http namespace
+ that contains state
+information about the transaction.  The elements of this array are
+described in the STATE ARRAY section.
+.PP
+If the \fB-command\fP option is specified, then
+the HTTP operation is done in the background.
+\fB::http::geturl\fR returns immediately after generating the
+HTTP request and the callback is invoked
+when the transaction completes.  For this to work, the Tcl event loop
+must be active.  In Tk applications this is always true.  For pure-Tcl
+applications, the caller can use \fB::http::wait\fR after calling
+\fB::http::geturl\fR to start the event loop.
+.SH COMMANDS
+.TP
+\fB::http::config\fP ?\fIoptions\fR?
+The \fB::http::config\fR command is used to set and query the name of the
+proxy server and port, and the User-Agent name used in the HTTP
+requests.  If no options are specified, then the current configuration
+is returned.  If a single argument is specified, then it should be one
+of the flags described below.  In this case the current value of
+that setting is returned.  Otherwise, the options should be a set of
+flags and values that define the configuration:
+.RS
+.TP
+\fB\-accept\fP \fImimetypes\fP
+The Accept header of the request.  The default is */*, which means that
+all types of documents are accepted.  Otherwise you can supply a 
+comma separated list of mime type patterns that you are
+willing to receive.  For example, "image/gif, image/jpeg, text/*".
+.TP
+\fB\-proxyhost\fP \fIhostname\fP
+The name of the proxy host, if any.  If this value is the
+empty string, the URL host is contacted directly.
+.TP
+\fB\-proxyport\fP \fInumber\fP
+The proxy port number.
+.TP
+\fB\-proxyfilter\fP \fIcommand\fP
+The command is a callback that is made during
+\fB::http::geturl\fR
+to determine if a proxy is required for a given host.  One argument, a
+host name, is added to \fIcommand\fR when it is invoked.  If a proxy
+is required, the callback should return a two element list containing
+the proxy server and proxy port.  Otherwise the filter should return
+an empty list.  The default filter returns the values of the
+\fB\-proxyhost\fR and \fB\-proxyport\fR settings if they are
+non-empty.
+.TP
+\fB\-useragent\fP \fIstring\fP
+The value of the User-Agent header in the HTTP request.  The default
+is \fB"Tcl http client package 2.0."\fR
+.RE
+.TP
+\fB::http::geturl\fP \fIurl\fP ?\fIoptions\fP? 
+The \fB::http::geturl \fR command is the main procedure in the package.
+The \fB\-query\fR option causes a POST operation and
+the \fB\-validate\fR option causes a HEAD operation;
+otherwise, a GET operation is performed.  The \fB::http::geturl\fR command
+returns a \fItoken\fR value that can be used to get
+information about the transaction.  See the STATE ARRAY section for
+details.  The \fB::http::geturl\fR command blocks until the operation
+completes, unless the \fB\-command\fR option specifies a callback
+that is invoked when the HTTP transaction completes.
+\fB::http::geturl\fR takes several options:
+.RS
+.TP
+\fB\-blocksize\fP \fIsize\fP
+The blocksize used when reading the URL.
+At most 
+\fIsize\fR
+bytes are read at once.  After each block, a call to the
+\fB\-progress\fR
+callback is made.
+.TP
+\fB\-channel\fP \fIname\fP
+Copy the URL contents to channel \fIname\fR instead of saving it in
+\fBstate(body)\fR.
+.TP
+\fB\-command\fP \fIcallback\fP
+Invoke \fIcallback\fP after the HTTP transaction completes.
+This option causes \fB::http::geturl\fP to return immediately.
+The \fIcallback\fP gets an additional argument that is the \fItoken\fR returned
+from \fB::http::geturl\fR. This token is the name of an array that is
+described in the STATE ARRAY section.  Here is a template for the
+callback:
+.RS
+.CS
+proc httpCallback {token} {
+    upvar #0 $token state
+    # Access state as a Tcl array
+}
+.CE
+.RE
+.TP
+\fB\-handler\fP \fIcallback\fP
+Invoke \fIcallback\fP whenever HTTP data is available; if present, nothing
+else will be done with the HTTP data.  This procedure gets two additional
+arguments: the socket for the HTTP data and the \fItoken\fR returned from
+\fB::http::geturl\fR.  The token is the name of a global array that is described
+in the STATE ARRAY section.  The procedure is expected to return the number
+of bytes read from the socket.  Here is a template for the callback:
+.RS
+.CS
+proc httpHandlerCallback {socket token} {
+    upvar #0 $token state
+    # Access socket, and state as a Tcl array
+    ...
+    (example: set data [read $socket 1000];set nbytes [string length $data])
+    ...
+    return nbytes
+}
+.CE
+.RE
+.TP
+\fB\-headers\fP \fIkeyvaluelist\fP
+This option is used to add extra headers to the HTTP request.  The
+\fIkeyvaluelist\fR argument must be a list with an even number of
+elements that alternate between keys and values.  The keys become
+header field names.  Newlines are stripped from the values so the
+header cannot be corrupted.  For example, if \fIkeyvaluelist\fR is
+\fBPragma no-cache\fR then the following header is included in the
+HTTP request:
+.CS
+Pragma: no-cache
+.CE
+.TP
+\fB\-progress\fP \fIcallback\fP
+The \fIcallback\fR is made after each transfer of data from the URL.
+The callback gets three additional arguments: the \fItoken\fR from
+\fB::http::geturl\fR, the expected total size of the contents from the
+\fBContent-Length\fR meta-data, and the current number of bytes
+transferred so far.  The expected total size may be unknown, in which
+case zero is passed to the callback.  Here is a template for the
+progress callback:
+.RS
+.CS
+proc httpProgress {token total current} {
+    upvar #0 $token state
+}
+.CE
+.RE
+.TP
+\fB\-query\fP \fIquery\fP
+This flag causes \fB::http::geturl\fR to do a POST request that passes the
+\fIquery\fR to the server. The \fIquery\fR must be a x-url-encoding
+formatted query.  The \fB::http::formatQuery\fR procedure can be used to
+do the formatting.
+.TP
+\fB\-timeout\fP \fImilliseconds\fP
+If \fImilliseconds\fR is non-zero, then \fB::http::geturl\fR sets up a timeout
+to occur after the specified number of milliseconds.
+A timeout results in a call to \fB::http::reset\fP and to
+the \fB-command\fP callback, if specified.
+The return value of \fB::http::status\fP is \fBtimeout\fP
+after a timeout has occurred.
+.TP
+\fB\-validate\fP \fIboolean\fP
+If \fIboolean\fR is non-zero, then \fB::http::geturl\fR does an HTTP HEAD
+request.  This request returns meta information about the URL, but the
+contents are not returned.  The meta information is available in the
+\fBstate(meta) \fR variable after the transaction.  See the STATE
+ARRAY section for details.
+.RE
+.TP
+\fB::http::formatQuery\fP \fIkey value\fP ?\fIkey value\fP ...?
+This procedure does x-url-encoding of query data.  It takes an even
+number of arguments that are the keys and values of the query.  It
+encodes the keys and values, and generates one string that has the
+proper & and = separators.  The result is suitable for the
+\fB\-query\fR value passed to \fB::http::geturl\fR.
+.TP
+\fB::http::reset\fP \fItoken\fP ?\fIwhy\fP?
+This command resets the HTTP transaction identified by \fItoken\fR, if
+any.  This sets the \fBstate(status)\fP value to \fIwhy\fP, which defaults to \fBreset\fR, and then calls the registered \fB\-command\fR callback.
+.TP
+\fB::http::wait\fP \fItoken\fP
+This is a convenience procedure that blocks and waits for the
+transaction to complete.  This only works in trusted code because it
+uses \fBvwait\fR.
+.TP
+\fB::http::data\fP \fItoken\fP
+This is a convenience procedure that returns the \fBbody\fP element
+(i.e., the URL data) of the state array.
+.TP
+\fB::http::status\fP \fItoken\fP
+This is a convenience procedure that returns the \fBstatus\fP element of
+the state array.
+.TP
+\fB::http::code\fP \fItoken\fP
+This is a convenience procedure that returns the \fBhttp\fP element of the
+state array.
+.TP
+\fB::http::size\fP \fItoken\fP
+This is a convenience procedure that returns the \fBcurrentsize\fP
+element of the state array.
+.SH "STATE ARRAY"
+The \fB::http::geturl\fR procedure returns a \fItoken\fR that can be used to
+get to the state of the HTTP transaction in the form of a Tcl array.
+Use this construct to create an easy-to-use array variable:
+.CS
+upvar #0 $token state
+.CE
+The following elements of the array are supported:
+.RS
+.TP
+\fBbody\fR
+The contents of the URL.  This will be empty if the \fB\-channel\fR
+option has been specified.  This value is returned by the \fB::http::data\fP command.
+.TP
+\fBcurrentsize\fR
+The current number of bytes fetched from the URL.
+This value is returned by the \fB::http::size\fP command.
+.TP
+\fBerror\fR
+If defined, this is the error string seen when the HTTP transaction
+was aborted.
+.TP
+\fBhttp\fR
+The HTTP status reply from the server.  This value
+is returned by the \fB::http::code\fP command.  The format of this value is:
+.RS
+.CS
+\fIcode string\fP
+.CE
+The \fIcode\fR is a three-digit number defined in the HTTP standard.
+A code of 200 is OK.  Codes beginning with 4 or 5 indicate errors.
+Codes beginning with 3 are redirection errors.  In this case the
+\fBLocation\fR meta-data specifies a new URL that contains the
+requested information.
+.RE
+.TP
+\fBmeta\fR
+The HTTP protocol returns meta-data that describes the URL contents.
+The \fBmeta\fR element of the state array is a list of the keys and
+values of the meta-data.  This is in a format useful for initializing
+an array that just contains the meta-data:
+.RS
+.CS
+array set meta $state(meta)
+.CE
+Some of the meta-data keys are listed below, but the HTTP standard defines
+more, and servers are free to add their own.

+The \fIif\fR command evaluates \fIexpr1\fR as an expression (in the
+same way that \fBexpr\fR evaluates its argument).  The value of the
+expression must be a boolean
+(a numeric value, where 0 is false and

+for true and \fBfalse\fR or \fBno\fR for false);
+if it is true then \fIbody1\fR is executed by passing it to the

+then \fBbody2\fR is executed, and so on.
+If none of the expressions evaluates to true then \fIbodyN\fR is
+executed.
+The \fBthen\fR and \fBelse\fR arguments are optional

+There may be any number of \fBelseif\fR clauses, including zero.
+\fIBodyN\fR may also be omitted as long as \fBelse\fR is omitted too.

+.SH NAME
+info \- Return information about the state of the Tcl interpreter
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fBinfo \fIoption \fR?\fIarg arg ...\fR?
+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+This command provides information about various internals of the Tcl
+interpreter.
+The legal \fIoption\fR's (which may be abbreviated) are:
+.TP
+\fBinfo args \fIprocname\fR
+Returns a list containing the names of the arguments to procedure
+\fIprocname\fR, in order.  \fIProcname\fR must be the name of a
+Tcl command procedure.
+.TP
+\fBinfo body \fIprocname\fR
+Returns the body of procedure \fIprocname\fR.  \fIProcname\fR must be
+the name of a Tcl command procedure.
+.TP
+\fBinfo cmdcount\fR
+Returns a count of the total number of commands that have been invoked
+in this interpreter.
+.TP
+\fBinfo commands \fR?\fIpattern\fR?
+If \fIpattern\fR isn't specified,
+returns a list of names of all the Tcl commands in the current namespace,
+including both the built-in commands written in C and
+the command procedures defined using the \fBproc\fR command.
+If \fIpattern\fR is specified,
+only those names matching \fIpattern\fR are returned.
+Matching is determined using the same rules as for \fBstring match\fR.
+\fIpattern\fR can be a qualified name like \fBFoo::print*\fR.
+That is, it may specify a particular namespace
+using a sequence of namespace names separated by \fB::\fRs,
+and may have pattern matching special characters
+at the end to specify a set of commands in that namespace.
+If \fIpattern\fR is a qualified name,
+the resulting list of command names has each one qualified with the name
+of the specified namespace.
+.TP
+\fBinfo complete \fIcommand\fR
+Returns 1 if \fIcommand\fR is a complete Tcl command in the sense of
+having no unclosed quotes, braces, brackets or array element names,
+If the command doesn't appear to be complete then 0 is returned.
+This command is typically used in line-oriented input environments
+to allow users to type in commands that span multiple lines;  if the
+command isn't complete, the script can delay evaluating it until additional
+lines have been typed to complete the command.
+.TP
+\fBinfo default \fIprocname arg varname\fR
+\fIProcname\fR must be the name of a Tcl command procedure and \fIarg\fR
+must be the name of an argument to that procedure.  If \fIarg\fR
+doesn't have a default value then the command returns \fB0\fR.
+Otherwise it returns \fB1\fR and places the default value of \fIarg\fR
+into variable \fIvarname\fR.
+.TP
+\fBinfo exists \fIvarName\fR
+Returns \fB1\fR if the variable named \fIvarName\fR exists in the
+current context (either as a global or local variable), returns \fB0\fR
+otherwise.
+.TP
+\fBinfo globals \fR?\fIpattern\fR?
+If \fIpattern\fR isn't specified, returns a list of all the names
+of currently-defined global variables.
+Global variables are variables in the global namespace.
+If \fIpattern\fR is specified, only those names matching \fIpattern\fR
+are returned.  Matching is determined using the same rules as for
+\fBstring match\fR.
+.TP
+\fBinfo hostname\fR
+Returns the name of the computer on which this invocation is being
+executed.
+.TP
+\fBinfo level\fR ?\fInumber\fR?
+If \fInumber\fR is not specified, this command returns a number
+giving the stack level of the invoking procedure, or 0 if the
+command is invoked at top-level.  If \fInumber\fR is specified,
+then the result is a list consisting of the name and arguments for the
+procedure call at level \fInumber\fR on the stack.  If \fInumber\fR
+is positive then it selects a particular stack level (1 refers
+to the top-most active procedure, 2 to the procedure it called, and
+so on); otherwise it gives a level relative to the current level
+(0 refers to the current procedure, -1 to its caller, and so on).
+See the \fBuplevel\fR command for more information on what stack
+levels mean.
+.TP
+\fBinfo library\fR
+Returns the name of the library directory in which standard Tcl
+scripts are stored.
+This is actually the value of the \fBtcl_library\fR
+variable and may be changed by setting \fBtcl_library\fR.
+See the \fBtclvars\fR manual entry for more information.
+.TP
+\fBinfo loaded \fR?\fIinterp\fR?
+Returns a list describing all of the packages that have been loaded into
+\fIinterp\fR with the \fBload\fR command.
+Each list element is a sub-list with two elements consisting of the
+name of the file from which the package was loaded and the name of
+the package.
+For statically-loaded packages the file name will be an empty string.
+If \fIinterp\fR is omitted then information is returned for all packages
+loaded in any interpreter in the process.
+To get a list of just the packages in the current interpreter, specify
+an empty string for the \fIinterp\fR argument.
+.TP
+\fBinfo locals \fR?\fIpattern\fR?
+If \fIpattern\fR isn't specified, returns a list of all the names
+of currently-defined local variables, including arguments to the
+current procedure, if any.
+Variables defined with the \fBglobal\fR and \fBupvar\fR commands
+will not be returned.
+If \fIpattern\fR is specified, only those names matching \fIpattern\fR
+are returned.  Matching is determined using the same rules as for
+\fBstring match\fR.
+.TP
+\fBinfo nameofexecutable\fR
+Returns the full path name of the binary file from which the application
+was invoked.  If Tcl was unable to identify the file, then an empty
+string is returned.
+.TP
+\fBinfo patchlevel\fR
+Returns the value of the global variable \fBtcl_patchLevel\fR; see
+the \fBtclvars\fR manual entry for more information.
+.TP
+\fBinfo procs \fR?\fIpattern\fR?
+If \fIpattern\fR isn't specified, returns a list of all the
+names of Tcl command procedures in the current namespace.
+If \fIpattern\fR is specified,
+only those procedure names in the current namespace
+matching \fIpattern\fR are returned.
+Matching is determined using the same rules as for
+\fBstring match\fR.
+.TP
+\fBinfo script\fR
+If a Tcl script file is currently being evaluated (i.e. there is a
+call to \fBTcl_EvalFile\fR active or there is an active invocation
+of the \fBsource\fR command), then this command returns the name
+of the innermost file being processed.  Otherwise the command returns an
+empty string.
+.TP
+\fBinfo sharedlibextension\fR
+Returns the extension used on this platform for the names of files
+containing shared libraries (for example, \fB.so\fR under Solaris).
+If shared libraries aren't supported on this platform then an empty
+string is returned.
+.TP
+\fBinfo tclversion\fR
+Returns the value of the global variable \fBtcl_version\fR; see
+the \fBtclvars\fR manual entry for more information.
+.TP
+\fBinfo vars\fR ?\fIpattern\fR?
+If \fIpattern\fR isn't specified,
+returns a list of all the names of currently-visible variables.
+This includes locals and currently-visible globals.
+If \fIpattern\fR is specified, only those names matching \fIpattern\fR
+are returned.  Matching is determined using the same rules as for
+\fBstring match\fR.
+\fIpattern\fR can be a qualified name like \fBFoo::option*\fR.
+That is, it may specify a particular namespace
+using a sequence of namespace names separated by \fB::\fRs,
+and may have pattern matching special characters
+at the end to specify a set of variables in that namespace.
+If \fIpattern\fR is a qualified name,
+the resulting list of variable names
+has each matching namespace variable qualified with the name
+of its namespace.

+.SH NAME
+interp \- Create and manipulate Tcl interpreters
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fBinterp \fIoption \fR?\fIarg arg ...\fR?
+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+This command makes it possible to create one or more new Tcl 
+interpreters that co-exist with the creating interpreter in the
+same application.  The creating interpreter is called the \fImaster\fR
+and the new interpreter is called a \fIslave\fR. 
+A master can create any number of slaves, and each slave can
+itself create additional slaves for which it is master, resulting
+in a hierarchy of interpreters.
+.PP
+Each interpreter is independent from the others: it has its own name
+space for commands, procedures, and global variables.
+A master interpreter may create connections between its slaves and
+itself using a mechanism called an \fIalias\fR.  An \fIalias\fR is
+a command in a slave interpreter which, when invoked, causes a
+command to be invoked in its master interpreter or in another slave
+interpreter.  The only other connections between interpreters are
+through environment variables (the \fBenv\fR variable), which are
+normally shared among all interpreters in the application. Note that the
+name space for files (such as the names returned by the \fBopen\fR command)
+is no longer shared between interpreters. Explicit commands are provided to
+share files and to transfer references to open files from one interpreter
+to another.
+.PP
+The \fBinterp\fR command also provides support for \fIsafe\fR
+interpreters.  A safe interpreter is a slave whose functions have
+been greatly restricted, so that it is safe to execute untrusted
+scripts without fear of them damaging other interpreters or the
+application's environment. For example, all IO channel creation
+commands and subprocess creation commands are made inaccessible to safe
+interpreters.
+.VS
+See SAFE INTERPRETERS below for more information on
+what features are present in a safe interpreter.
+The dangerous functionality is not removed from the safe interpreter;
+instead, it is \fIhidden\fR, so that only trusted interpreters can obtain
+access to it. For a detailed explanation of hidden commands, see
+HIDDEN COMMANDS, below.
+The alias mechanism can be used for protected communication (analogous to a
+kernel call) between a slave interpreter and its master. See ALIAS
+INVOCATION, below, for more details on how the alias mechanism works.
+.VE
+.PP
+A qualified interpreter name is a proper Tcl lists containing a subset of its
+ancestors in the interpreter hierarchy, terminated by the string naming the
+interpreter in its immediate master. Interpreter names are relative to the
+interpreter in which they are used. For example, if \fBa\fR is a slave of
+the current interpreter and it has a slave \fBa1\fR, which in turn has a
+slave \fBa11\fR, the qualified name of \fBa11\fR in \fBa\fR is the list
+\fBa1 a11\fR.
+.PP
+The \fBinterp\fR command, described below, accepts qualified interpreter
+names as arguments; the interpreter in which the command is being evaluated
+can always be referred to as \fB{}\fR (the empty list or string). Note that
+it is impossible to refer to a master (ancestor) interpreter by name in a
+slave interpreter except through aliases. Also, there is no global name by
+which one can refer to the first interpreter created in an application.
+Both restrictions are motivated by safety concerns.
+
+.VS
+.SH "THE INTERP COMMAND"
+.PP
+.VE
+The \fBinterp\fR command is used to create, delete, and manipulate
+slave interpreters, and to share or transfer
+channels between interpreters.  It can have any of several forms, depending
+on the \fIoption\fR argument:
+.TP
+\fBinterp\fR \fBalias\fR \fIsrcPath\fR \fIsrcCmd\fR
+Returns a Tcl list whose elements are the \fItargetCmd\fR and
+\fIarg\fRs associated with the alias named \fIsrcCmd\fR
+(all of these are the values specified when the alias was
+created; it is possible that the actual source command in the
+slave is different from \fIsrcCmd\fR if it was renamed).
+.TP
+\fBinterp\fR \fBalias\fR \fIsrcPath\fR \fIsrcCmd\fR \fB{}\fR
+Deletes the alias for \fIsrcCmd\fR in the slave interpreter identified by
+\fIsrcPath\fR.
+\fIsrcCmd\fR refers to the name under which the alias
+was created;  if the source command has been renamed, the renamed
+command will be deleted.
+.TP
+\fBinterp\fR \fBalias\fR \fIsrcPath\fR \fIsrcCmd\fR \fItargetPath\fR \fItargetCmd \fR?\fIarg arg ...\fR?
+This command creates an alias between one slave and another (see the
+\fBalias\fR slave command below for creating aliases between a slave
+and its master).  In this command, either of the slave interpreters
+may be anywhere in the hierarchy of interpreters under the interpreter
+invoking the command.
+\fISrcPath\fR and \fIsrcCmd\fR identify the source of the alias.
+\fISrcPath\fR is a Tcl list whose elements select a particular
+interpreter.  For example, ``\fBa b\fR'' identifies an interpreter
+\fBb\fR, which is a slave of interpreter \fBa\fR, which is a slave
+of the invoking interpreter.  An empty list specifies the interpreter
+invoking the command.  \fIsrcCmd\fR gives the name of a new
+command, which will be created in the source interpreter.
+\fITargetPath\fR and \fItargetCmd\fR specify a target interpreter
+and command, and the \fIarg\fR arguments, if any, specify additional
+arguments to \fItargetCmd\fR which are prepended to any arguments specified
+in the invocation of \fIsrcCmd\fR.
+\fITargetCmd\fR may be undefined at the time of this call, or it may
+already exist; it is not created by this command.
+The alias arranges for the given target command to be invoked
+in the target interpreter whenever the given source command is
+invoked in the source interpreter.  See ALIAS INVOCATION below for
+more details.
+.TP
+\fBinterp\fR \fBaliases \fR?\fIpath\fR?
+This command returns a Tcl list of the names of all the source commands for
+aliases defined in the interpreter identified by \fIpath\fR.
+.TP
+\fBinterp\fR \fBcreate \fR?\fB\-safe\fR? ?\fB\-\|\-\fR? ?\fIpath\fR?
+Creates a slave interpreter identified by \fIpath\fR and a new command,
+called a \fIslave command\fR. The name of the slave command is the last
+component of \fIpath\fR. The new slave interpreter and the slave command
+are created in the interpreter identified by the path obtained by removing
+the last component from \fIpath\fR. For example, if \fIpath is \fBa b
+c\fR then a new slave interpreter and slave command named \fBc\fR are
+created in the interpreter identified by the path \fBa b\fR.
+The slave command may be used to manipulate the new interpreter as
+described below. If \fIpath\fR is omitted, Tcl creates a unique name of the
+form \fBinterp\fIx\fR, where \fIx\fR is an integer, and uses it for the
+interpreter and the slave command. If the \fB\-safe\fR switch is specified
+(or if the master interpreter is a safe interpreter), the new slave
+interpreter will be created as a safe interpreter with limited
+functionality; otherwise the slave will include the full set of Tcl
+built-in commands and variables. The \fB\-\|\-\fR switch can be used to
+mark the end of switches;  it may be needed if \fIpath\fR is an unusual
+value such as \fB\-safe\fR. The result of the command is the name of the
+new interpreter. The name of a slave interpreter must be unique among all
+the slaves for its master;  an error occurs if a slave interpreter by the
+given name already exists in this master.
+.TP
+\fBinterp\fR \fBdelete \fR?\fIpath ...?\fR
+Deletes zero or more interpreters given by the optional \fIpath\fR
+arguments, and for each interpreter, it also deletes its slaves. The
+command also deletes the slave command for each interpreter deleted.
+For each \fIpath\fR argument, if no interpreter by that name
+exists, the command raises an error.
+.TP
+\fBinterp\fR \fBeval\fR \fIpath arg \fR?\fIarg ...\fR?
+This command concatenates all of the \fIarg\fR arguments in the same
+fashion as the \fBconcat\fR command, then evaluates the resulting string as
+a Tcl script in the slave interpreter identified by \fIpath\fR. The result
+of this evaluation (including error information such as the \fBerrorInfo\fR
+and \fBerrorCode\fR variables, if an error occurs) is returned to the
+invoking interpreter.
+.TP
+\fBinterp exists \fIpath\fR
+Returns  \fB1\fR if a slave interpreter by the specified \fIpath\fR
+exists in this master, \fB0\fR otherwise. If \fIpath\fR is omitted, the
+invoking interpreter is used.
+.VS "" BR
+.TP
+\fBinterp expose \fIpath\fR \fIhiddenName\fR ?\fIexposedCmdName\fR?
+Makes the hidden command \fIhiddenName\fR exposed, eventually bringing
+it back under a new \fIexposedCmdName\fR name (this name is currently
+accepted only if it is a valid global name space name without any ::),
+in the interpreter
+denoted by \fIpath\fR.
+If an exposed command with the targetted name already exists, this command
+fails.
+Hidden commands are explained in more detail in HIDDEN COMMANDS, below.
+.TP
+\fBinterp\fR \fBhide\fR \fIpath\fR \fIexposedCmdName\fR ?\fIhiddenCmdName\fR?
+Makes the exposed command \fIexposedCmdName\fR hidden, renaming
+it to the hidden command \fIhiddenCmdName\fR, or keeping the same name if
+\fIhiddenCmdName\fR is not given, in the interpreter denoted 
+by \fIpath\fR.
+If a hidden command with the targetted name already exists, this command
+fails.
+Currently both \fIexposedCmdName\fR and \fIhiddenCmdName\fR can 
+not contain namespace qualifiers, or an error is raised.
+Commands to be hidden by \fBinterp hide\fR are looked up in the global
+namespace even if the current namespace is not the global one. This
+prevents slaves from fooling a master interpreter into hiding the wrong
+command, by making the current namespace be different from the global one.
+Hidden commands are explained in more detail in HIDDEN COMMANDS, below.
+.TP
+\fBinterp\fR \fBhidden\fR \fIpath\fR
+Returns a list of the names of all hidden commands in the interpreter
+identified by \fIpath\fR.
+.TP
+\fBinterp\fR \fBinvokehidden\fR \fIpath\fR ?\fB-global\fR \fIhiddenCmdName\fR ?\fIarg ...\fR?
+Invokes the hidden command \fIhiddenCmdName\fR with the arguments supplied
+in the interpreter denoted by \fIpath\fR. No substitutions or evaluation
+are applied to the arguments.
+If the \fB-global\fR flag is present, the hidden command is invoked at the
+global level in the target interpreter; otherwise it is invoked at the
+current call frame and can access local variables in that and outer call
+frames.
+Hidden commands are explained in more detail in HIDDEN COMMANDS, below.
+.VE
+.TP
+\fBinterp issafe\fR ?\fIpath\fR?
+Returns \fB1\fR if the interpreter identified by the specified \fIpath\fR
+is safe, \fB0\fR otherwise.
+.VS "" BR
+.TP
+\fBinterp marktrusted\fR \fIpath\fR
+Marks the interpreter identified by \fIpath\fR as trusted. Does
+not expose the hidden commands. This command can only be invoked from a
+trusted interpreter.
+The command has no effect if the interpreter identified by \fIpath\fR is
+already trusted.
+.VE
+.TP
+\fBinterp\fR \fBshare\fR \fIsrcPath channelId destPath\fR
+Causes the IO channel identified by \fIchannelId\fR to become shared
+between the interpreter identified by \fIsrcPath\fR and the interpreter
+identified by \fIdestPath\fR. Both interpreters have the same permissions
+on the IO channel.
+Both interpreters must close it to close the underlying IO channel; IO
+channels accessible in an interpreter are automatically closed when an
+interpreter is destroyed.
+.TP
+\fBinterp\fR \fBslaves\fR ?\fIpath\fR?
+Returns a Tcl list of the names of all the slave interpreters associated
+with the interpreter identified by \fIpath\fR. If \fIpath\fR is omitted,
+the invoking interpreter is used.
+.TP
+\fBinterp\fR \fBtarget\fR \fIpath alias\fR
+Returns a Tcl list describing the target interpreter for an alias. The
+alias is specified with an interpreter path and source command name, just
+as in \fBinterp alias\fR above. The name of the target interpreter is
+returned as an interpreter path, relative to the invoking interpreter.
+If the target interpreter for the alias is the invoking interpreter then an
+empty list is returned. If the target interpreter for the alias is not the
+invoking interpreter or one of its descendants then an error is generated.
+The target command does not have to be defined at the time of this invocation.

+.SH "SLAVE COMMAND"
+.PP
+For each slave interpreter created with the \fBinterp\fR command, a
+new Tcl command is created in the master interpreter with the same
+name as the new interpreter. This command may be used to invoke
+various operations on the interpreter.  It has the following
+general form:
+.CS
+\fIslave command \fR?\fIarg arg ...\fR?
+.CE
+\fISlave\fR is the name of the interpreter, and \fIcommand\fR
+and the \fIarg\fRs determine the exact behavior of the command.
+The valid forms of this command are:
+.TP
+\fIslave \fBaliases\fR
+Returns a Tcl list whose elements are the names of all the
+aliases in \fIslave\fR.  The names returned are the \fIsrcCmd\fR
+values used when the aliases were created (which may not be the same
+as the current names of the commands, if they have been
+renamed).
+.TP
+\fIslave \fBalias \fIsrcCmd\fR
+Returns a Tcl list whose elements are the \fItargetCmd\fR and
+\fIarg\fRs associated with the alias named \fIsrcCmd\fR
+(all of these are the values specified when the alias was
+created; it is possible that the actual source command in the
+slave is different from \fIsrcCmd\fR if it was renamed).
+.TP
+\fIslave \fBalias \fIsrcCmd \fB{}\fR
+Deletes the alias for \fIsrcCmd\fR in the slave interpreter.
+\fIsrcCmd\fR refers to the name under which the alias
+was created;  if the source command has been renamed, the renamed
+command will be deleted.
+.TP
+\fIslave \fBalias \fIsrcCmd targetCmd \fR?\fIarg ..\fR?
+Creates an alias such that whenever \fIsrcCmd\fR is invoked
+in \fIslave\fR, \fItargetCmd\fR is invoked in the master.
+The \fIarg\fR arguments will be passed to \fItargetCmd\fR as additional
+arguments, prepended before any arguments passed in the invocation of
+\fIsrcCmd\fR.
+See ALIAS INVOCATION below for details.
+.TP
+\fIslave \fBeval \fIarg \fR?\fIarg ..\fR?
+This command concatenates all of the \fIarg\fR arguments in
+the same fashion as the \fBconcat\fR command, then evaluates
+the resulting string as a Tcl script in \fIslave\fR.
+The result of this evaluation (including error information
+such as the \fBerrorInfo\fR and \fBerrorCode\fR variables, if an
+error occurs) is returned to the invoking interpreter.
+.VS "" BR
+.TP
+\fIslave \fBexpose \fIhiddenName \fR?\fIexposedCmdName\fR?
+This command exposes the hidden command \fIhiddenName\fR, eventually bringing
+it back under a new \fIexposedCmdName\fR name (this name is currently
+accepted only if it is a valid global name space name without any ::),
+in \fIslave\fR.
+If an exposed command with the targetted name already exists, this command
+fails.
+For more details on hidden commands, see HIDDEN COMMANDS, below.
+.TP
+\fIslave \fBhide \fIexposedCmdName\fR ?\fIhiddenCmdName\fR?
+This command hides the exposed command \fIexposedCmdName\fR, renaming it to 
+the hidden command \fIhiddenCmdName\fR, or keeping the same name if the
+the argument is not given, in the \fIslave\fR interpreter.
+If a hidden command with the targetted name already exists, this command
+fails.
+Currently both \fIexposedCmdName\fR and \fIhiddenCmdName\fR can 
+not contain namespace qualifiers, or an error is raised.
+Commands to be hidden are looked up in the global
+namespace even if the current namespace is not the global one. This
+prevents slaves from fooling a master interpreter into hiding the wrong
+command, by making the current namespace be different from the global one.
+For more details on hidden commands, see HIDDEN COMMANDS, below.
+.TP
+\fIslave \fBhidden\fR
+Returns a list of the names of all hidden commands in \fIslave\fR.
+.TP
+\fIslave \fBinvokehidden\fR ?\fB-global\fR \fIhiddenName \fR?\fIarg ..\fR?
+This command invokes the hidden command \fIhiddenName\fR with the
+supplied arguments, in \fIslave\fR. No substitutions or evaluations are
+applied to the arguments.
+If the \fB-global\fR flag is given, the command is invoked at the global
+level in the slave; otherwise it is invoked at the current call frame and
+can access local variables in that or outer call frames.
+For more details on hidden commands, see HIDDEN
+COMMANDS, below.

+.TP
+\fIslave \fBissafe\fR
+Returns  \fB1\fR if the slave interpreter is safe, \fB0\fR otherwise.

+.TP
+\fIslave \fBmarktrusted\fR
+Marks the slave interpreter as trusted. Can only be invoked by a
+trusted interpreter. This command does not expose any hidden
+commands in the slave interpreter. The command has no effect if the slave
+is already trusted.
+.VE
+
+.SH "SAFE INTERPRETERS"
+.PP
+A safe interpreter is one with restricted functionality, so that
+is safe to execute an arbitrary script from your worst enemy without
+fear of that script damaging the enclosing application or the rest
+of your computing environment.  In order to make an interpreter
+safe, certain commands and variables are removed from the interpreter.
+For example, commands to create files on disk are removed, and the
+\fBexec\fR command is removed, since it could be used to cause damage
+through subprocesses.
+Limited access to these facilities can be provided, by creating
+aliases to the master interpreter which check their arguments carefully
+and provide restricted access to a safe subset of facilities.
+For example, file creation might be allowed in a particular subdirectory
+and subprocess invocation might be allowed for a carefully selected and
+fixed set of programs.
+.PP
+A safe interpreter is created by specifying the \fB\-safe\fR switch
+to the \fBinterp create\fR command.  Furthermore, any slave created
+by a safe interpreter will also be safe.
+.PP
+A safe interpreter is created with exactly the following set of
+built-in commands:
+.DS
+.ta 1.2i 2.4i 3.6i
+\fBafter	append	array	break
+case	catch	clock	close
+concat	continue	eof	error
+eval	expr	fblocked	fileevent
+flush	for	foreach	format
+gets	global	history	if
+incr	info	interp	join
+lappend	lindex	linsert	list
+llength	lower	lrange	lreplace
+lsearch	lsort	package	pid
+proc	puts	read	rename
+return	scan	seek	set
+split	string	subst	switch
+tell	trace	unset	update
+uplevel	upvar	vwait	while\fR
+.DE
+.VS ""  BR
+The following commands are hidden by \fBinterp create\fR when it
+creates a safe interpreter:
+.DS
+.ta 1.2i 2.4i 3.6i
+\fBcd	exec	exit	fconfigure
+file	glob	load	open
+pwd	socket	source	vwait\fR
+.DE
+These commands can be recreated later as Tcl procedures or aliases, or
+re-exposed by \fBinterp expose\fR.
+.VE
+.PP
+In addition, the \fBenv\fR variable is not present in a safe interpreter,
+so it cannot share environment variables with other interpreters. The
+\fBenv\fR variable poses a security risk, because users can store
+sensitive information in an environment variable. For example, the PGP
+manual recommends storing the PGP private key protection password in
+the environment variable \fIPGPPASS\fR. Making this variable available
+to untrusted code executing in a safe interpreter would incur a
+security risk.
+.PP
+If extensions are loaded into a safe interpreter, they may also restrict
+their own functionality to eliminate unsafe commands. For a discussion of
+management of extensions for safety see the manual entries for
+\fBSafe\-Tcl\fR and the \fBload\fR Tcl command.
+
+.SH "ALIAS INVOCATION"
+.PP
+The alias mechanism has been carefully designed so that it can
+be used safely when an untrusted script is executing
+in a safe slave and the target of the alias is a trusted
+master.  The most important thing in guaranteeing safety is to
+ensure that information passed from the slave to the master is
+never evaluated or substituted in the master;  if this were to
+occur, it would enable an evil script in the slave to invoke
+arbitrary functions in the master, which would compromise security.
+.PP
+When the source for an alias is invoked in the slave interpreter, the
+usual Tcl substitutions are performed when parsing that command.
+These substitutions are carried out in the source interpreter just
+as they would be for any other command invoked in that interpreter.
+The command procedure for the source command takes its arguments
+and merges them with the \fItargetCmd\fR and \fIarg\fRs for the
+alias to create a new array of arguments.  If the words
+of \fIsrcCmd\fR were ``\fIsrcCmd arg1 arg2 ... argN\fR'',
+the new set of words will be
+``\fItargetCmd arg arg ... arg arg1 arg2 ... argN\fR'',
+where \fItargetCmd\fR and \fIarg\fRs are the values supplied when the
+alias was created.  \fITargetCmd\fR is then used to locate a command
+procedure in the target interpreter, and that command procedure
+is invoked with the new set of arguments.  An error occurs if
+there is no command named \fItargetCmd\fR in the target interpreter.
+No additional substitutions are performed on the words:  the
+target command procedure is invoked directly, without
+going through the normal Tcl evaluation mechanism.
+Substitutions are thus performed on each word exactly once:
+\fItargetCmd\fR and \fIargs\fR were substituted when parsing the command
+that created the alias, and \fIarg1 - argN\fR are substituted when
+the alias's source command is parsed in the source interpreter.
+.PP
+When writing the \fItargetCmd\fRs for aliases in safe interpreters,
+it is very important that the arguments to that command never be
+evaluated or substituted, since this would provide an escape
+mechanism whereby the slave interpreter could execute arbitrary
+code in the master.  This in turn would compromise the security
+of the system.
+
+.VS
+.SH "HIDDEN COMMANDS"
+.PP
+Safe interpreters greatly restrict the functionality available to Tcl
+programs executing within them.
+Allowing the untrusted Tcl program to have direct access to this
+functionality is unsafe, because it can be used for a variety of
+attacks on the environment.
+However, there are times when there is a legitimate need to use the
+dangerous functionality in the context of the safe interpreter. For
+example, sometimes a program must be \fBsource\fRd into the interpreter.
+Another example is Tk, where windows are bound to the hierarchy of windows
+for a specific interpreter; some potentially dangerous functions, e.g.
+window management, must be performed on these windows within the
+interpreter context.
+.PP
+The \fBinterp\fR command provides a solution to this problem in the form of
+\fIhidden commands\fR. Instead of removing the dangerous commands entirely
+from a safe interpreter, these commands are hidden so they become
+unavailable to Tcl scripts executing in the interpreter. However, such
+hidden commands can be invoked by any trusted ancestor of the safe
+interpreter, in the context of the safe interpreter, using \fBinterp
+invoke\fR. Hidden commands and exposed commands reside in separate name
+spaces. It is possible to define a hidden command and an exposed command by
+the same name within one interpreter.
+.PP
+Hidden commands in a slave interpreter can be invoked in the body of
+procedures called in the master during alias invocation. For example, an
+alias for \fBsource\fR could be created in a slave interpreter. When it is
+invoked in the slave interpreter, a procedure is called in the master
+interpreter to check that the operation is allowable (e.g. it asks to
+source a file that the slave interpreter is allowed to access). The
+procedure then it invokes the hidden \fBsource\fR command in the slave
+interpreter to actually source in the contents of the file. Note that two
+commands named \fBsource\fR exist in the slave interpreter: the alias, and
+the hidden command.
+.PP
+Because a master interpreter may invoke a hidden command as part of
+handling an alias invocation, great care must be taken to avoid evaluating
+any arguments passed in through the alias invocation.
+Otherwise, malicious slave interpreters could cause a trusted master
+interpreter to execute dangerous commands on their behalf. See the section
+on ALIAS INVOCATION for a more complete discussion of this topic.
+To help avoid this problem, no substitutions or evaluations are
+applied to arguments of \fBinterp invokehidden\fR.
+.PP
+Safe interpreters are not allowed to invoke hidden commands in themselves
+or in their descendants. This prevents safe slaves from gaining access to
+hidden functionality in themselves or their descendants.
+.PP
+The set of hidden commands in an interpreter can be manipulated by a trusted
+interpreter using \fBinterp expose\fR and \fBinterp hide\fR. The \fBinterp
+expose\fR command moves a hidden command to the
+set of exposed commands in the interpreter identified by \fIpath\fR,
+potentially renaming the command in the process. If an exposed command by
+the targetted name already exists, the operation fails. Similarly,
+\fBinterp hide\fR moves an exposed command to the set of hidden commands in
+that interpreter. Safe interpreters are not allowed to move commands
+between the set of hidden and exposed commands, in either themselves or
+their descendants.
+.PP
+Currently, the names of hidden commands cannot contain namespace
+qualifiers, and you must first rename a command in a namespace to the
+global namespace before you can hide it.
+Commands to be hidden by \fBinterp hide\fR are looked up in the global
+namespace even if the current namespace is not the global one. This
+prevents slaves from fooling a master interpreter into hiding the wrong
+command, by making the current namespace be different from the global one.

+.SH INTRODUCTION
+.PP
+Tcl includes a library of Tcl procedures for commonly-needed functions.
+The procedures defined in the Tcl library are generic ones suitable
+for use by many different applications.
+The location of the Tcl library is returned by the \fBinfo library\fR
+command.
+In addition to the Tcl library, each application will normally have
+its own library of support procedures as well;  the location of this
+library is normally given by the value of the \fB$\fIapp\fB_library\fR
+global variable, where \fIapp\fR is the name of the application.
+For example, the location of the Tk library is kept in the variable
+\fB$tk_library\fR.
+.PP
+To access the procedures in the Tcl library, an application should
+source the file \fBinit.tcl\fR in the library, for example with
+the Tcl command
+.CS
+\fBsource [file join [info library] init.tcl]\fR
+.CE
+If the library procedure \fBTcl_Init\fR is invoked from an application's
+\fBTcl_AppInit\fR procedure, this happens automatically.
+The code in \fBinit.tcl\fR will define the \fBunknown\fR procedure
+and arrange for the other procedures to be loaded on-demand using
+the auto-load mechanism defined below.
+
+.SH "COMMAND PROCEDURES"
+.PP
+The following procedures are provided in the Tcl library:
+.TP
+\fBauto_execok \fIcmd\fR
+Determines whether there is an executable file by the name \fIcmd\fR.
+This command examines the directories in the current search path
+(given by the PATH environment variable) to see if there is an
+executable file named \fIcmd\fR in any of those directories.
+If so, it returns 1;  if not it returns 0.  \fBAuto_exec\fR
+remembers information about previous searches in an array
+named \fBauto_execs\fR;  this avoids the path search in
+future calls for the same \fIcmd\fR.  The command \fBauto_reset\fR
+may be used to force \fBauto_execok\fR to forget its cached
+information.
+.TP
+\fBauto_load \fIcmd\fR
+This command attempts to load the definition for a Tcl command named
+\fIcmd\fR.
+To do this, it searches an \fIauto-load path\fR, which is a list of
+one or more directories.
+The auto-load path is given by the global variable \fB$auto_path\fR
+if it exists.
+If there is no \fB$auto_path\fR variable, then the TCLLIBPATH environment
+variable is used, if it exists.
+Otherwise the auto-load path consists of just the Tcl library directory.
+Within each directory in the auto-load path there must be a file
+\fBtclIndex\fR that describes one
+or more commands defined in that directory
+and a script to evaluate to load each of the commands.
+The \fBtclIndex\fR file should be generated with the
+\fBauto_mkindex\fR command.
+If \fIcmd\fR is found in an index file, then the appropriate
+script is evaluated to create the command.
+The \fBauto_load\fR command returns 1 if \fIcmd\fR was successfully
+created.
+The command returns 0 if there was no index entry for \fIcmd\fR
+or if the script didn't actually define \fIcmd\fR (e.g. because
+index information is out of date).
+If an error occurs while processing the script, then that error
+is returned.
+\fBAuto_load\fR only reads the index information once and saves it
+in the array \fBauto_index\fR;  future calls to \fBauto_load\fR
+check for \fIcmd\fR in the array rather than re-reading the index
+files.
+The cached index information may be deleted with the command
+\fBauto_reset\fR.
+This will force the next \fBauto_load\fR command to reload the
+index database from disk.
+.TP
+\fBauto_mkindex \fIdir pattern pattern ...\fR
+Generates an index suitable for use by \fBauto_load\fR.
+The command searches \fIdir\fR for all files whose names match
+any of the \fIpattern\fR arguments
+(matching is done with the \fBglob\fR command),
+generates an index of all the Tcl command
+procedures defined in all the matching files, and stores the
+index information in a file named \fBtclIndex\fR in \fIdir\fR.
+If no pattern is given a pattern of \fB*.tcl\fR will be assumed.  
+For example, the command
+.RS
+.CS
+\fBauto_mkindex foo *.tcl\fR
+.CE
+.LP
+will read all the \fB.tcl\fR files in subdirectory \fBfoo\fR
+and generate a new index file \fBfoo/tclIndex\fR.
+.PP
+\fBAuto_mkindex\fR parses the Tcl scripts in a relatively
+unsophisticated way:  if any line contains the word \fBproc\fR
+as its first characters then it is assumed to be a procedure
+definition and the next word of the line is taken as the
+procedure's name.
+Procedure definitions that don't appear in this way (e.g. they
+have spaces before the \fBproc\fR) will not be indexed.
+.RE
+.TP
+\fBauto_reset\fR
+Destroys all the information cached by \fBauto_execok\fR and
+\fBauto_load\fR.
+This information will be re-read from disk the next time it is
+needed.
+\fBAuto_reset\fR also deletes any procedures listed in the auto-load
+index, so that fresh copies of them will be loaded the next time
+that they're used.
+.TP
+\fBparray \fIarrayName\fR
+Prints on standard output the names and values of all the elements
+in the array \fIarrayName\fR.
+\fBArrayName\fR must be an array accessible to the caller of \fBparray\fR.
+It may be either local or global.
+.TP
+\fBtcl_endOfWord \fIstr start\fR
+.VS
+Returns the index of the first end-of-word location that occurs after
+a starting index \fIstart\fR in the string \fIstr\fR.  An end-of-word
+location is defined to be the first non-word character following the
+first word character after the starting point.  Returns -1 if there
+are no more end-of-word locations after the starting point.  See the
+description of \fBtcl_wordchars\fR and \fBtcl_nonwordchars\fR below
+for more details on how Tcl determines which characters are word
+characters.
+.TP
+\fBtcl_startOfNextWord \fIstr start\fR
+Returns the index of the first start-of-word location that occurs
+after a starting index \fIstart\fR in the string \fIstr\fR.  A
+start-of-word location is defined to be the first word character
+following a non-word character.  Returns \-1 if there are no more
+start-of-word locations after the starting point.
+.TP
+\fBtcl_startOfPreviousWord \fIstr start\fR
+Returns the index of the first start-of-word location that occurs
+before a starting index \fIstart\fR in the string \fIstr\fR.  Returns
+\-1 if there are no more start-of-word locations before the starting
+point.
+.TP
+\fBtcl_wordBreakAfter \fIstr start\fR
+Returns the index of the first word boundary after the starting index
+\fIstart\fR in the string \fIstr\fR.  Returns \-1 if there are no more
+boundaries after the starting point in the given string.  The index
+returned refers to the second character of the pair that comprises a
+boundary.
+.TP
+\fBtcl_wordBreakBefore \fIstr start\fR
+Returns the index of the first word boundary before the starting index
+\fIstart\fR in the string \fIstr\fR.  Returns \-1 if there are no more
+boundaries before the starting point in the given string.  The index
+returned refers to the second character of the pair that comprises a
+boundary.
+.VE
+
+.SH "VARIABLES"
+.PP
+The following global variables are defined or used by the procedures in
+the Tcl library:
+.TP
+\fBauto_execs\fR
+Used by \fBauto_execok\fR to record information about whether
+particular commands exist as executable files.
+.TP
+\fBauto_index\fR
+Used by \fBauto_load\fR to save the index information read from
+disk.
+.TP
+\fBauto_noexec\fR
+If set to any value, then \fBunknown\fR will not attempt to auto-exec
+any commands.
+.TP
+\fBauto_noload\fR
+If set to any value, then \fBunknown\fR will not attempt to auto-load
+any commands.
+.TP
+\fBauto_path\fR
+If set, then it must contain a valid Tcl list giving directories to
+search during auto-load operations.
+.TP
+\fBenv(TCL_LIBRARY)\fR
+If set, then it specifies the location of the directory containing
+library scripts (the value of this variable will be returned by
+the command \fBinfo library\fR).  If this variable isn't set then
+a default value is used.
+.TP
+\fBenv(TCLLIBPATH)\fR
+If set, then it must contain a valid Tcl list giving directories to
+search during auto-load operations.
+This variable is only used if \fBauto_path\fR is not defined.
+.TP
+\fBtcl_nonwordchars\fR
+.VS
+This variable contains a regular expression that is used by routines
+like \fBtcl_endOfWord\fR to identify whether a character is part of a
+word or not.  If the pattern matches a character, the character is
+considered to be a non-word character.  On Windows platforms, spaces,
+tabs, and newlines are considered non-word characters.  Under Unix,
+everything but numbers, letters and underscores are considered

+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fBload \fIfileName\fR
+.br
+\fBload \fIfileName packageName\fR
+.br
+\fBload \fIfileName packageName interp\fR
+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+This command loads binary code from a file into the
+application's address space and calls an initialization procedure
+in the package to incorporate it into an interpreter.  \fIfileName\fR
+is the name of the file containing the code;  its exact form varies
+from system to system but on most systems it is a shared library,
+such as a \fB.so\fR file under Solaris or a DLL under Windows.
+\fIpackageName\fR is the name of the package, and is used to
+compute the name of an initialization procedure.
+\fIinterp\fR is the path name of the interpreter into which to load
+the package (see the \fBinterp\fR manual entry for details);
+if \fIinterp\fR is omitted, it defaults to the
+interpreter in which the \fBload\fR command was invoked.
+.PP
+Once the file has been loaded into the application's address space,
+one of two initialization procedures will be invoked in the new code.
+Typically the initialization procedure will add new commands to a
+Tcl interpreter.
+The name of the initialization procedure is determined by
+\fIpackageName\fR and whether or not the target interpreter
+is a safe one.  For normal interpreters the name of the initialization
+procedure will have the form \fIpkg\fB_Init\fR, where \fIpkg\fR
+is the same as \fIpackageName\fR except that the first letter is
+converted to upper case and all other letters
+are converted to lower case.  For example, if \fIpackageName\fR is
+\fBfoo\fR or \fBFOo\fR, the initialization procedure's name will
+be \fBFoo_Init\fR.
+.PP
+If the target interpreter is a safe interpreter, then the name
+of the initialization procedure will be \fIpkg\fB_SafeInit\fR
+instead of \fIpkg\fB_Init\fR.
+The \fIpkg\fB_SafeInit\fR function should be written carefully, so that it
+initializes the safe interpreter only with partial functionality provided
+by the package that is safe for use by untrusted code. For more information
+on Safe\-Tcl, see the \fBsafe\fR manual entry.
+.PP
+The initialization procedure must match the following prototype:
+.CS
+typedef int Tcl_PackageInitProc(Tcl_Interp *\fIinterp\fR);
+.CE
+The \fIinterp\fR argument identifies the interpreter in which the
+package is to be loaded.  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 \fIinterp->result\fR
+to point to an error message.  The result of the \fBload\fR command
+will be the result returned by the initialization procedure.
+.PP
+The actual loading of a file will only be done once for each \fIfileName\fR
+in an application.  If a given \fIfileName\fR is loaded into multiple
+interpreters, then the first \fBload\fR will load the code and
+call the initialization procedure;  subsequent \fBload\fRs will
+call the initialization procedure without loading the code again.
+It is not possible to unload or reload a package.
+.PP
+The \fBload\fR command also supports packages that are statically
+linked with the application, if those packages have been registered
+by calling the \fBTcl_StaticPackage\fR procedure.
+If \fIfileName\fR is an empty string, then \fIpackageName\fR must
+be specified.
+.PP
+If \fIpackageName\fR is omitted or specified as an empty string,
+Tcl tries to guess the name of the package.
+This may be done differently on different platforms.
+The default guess, which is used on most UNIX platforms, is to
+take the last element of \fIfileName\fR, strip off the first
+three characters if they are \fBlib\fR, and use any following
+.VS
+alphabetic and underline characters as the module name.
+.VE
+For example, the command \fBload libxyz4.2.so\fR uses the module
+name \fBxyz\fR and the command \fBload bin/last.so {}\fR uses the
+module name \fBlast\fR.
+.VS "" br
+.PP
+If \fIfileName\fR is an empty string, then \fIpackageName\fR must
+be specified.
+The \fBload\fR command first searches for a statically loaded package
+(one that has been registered by calling the \fBTcl_StaticPackage\fR
+procedure) by that name; if one is found, it is used.
+Otherwise, the \fBload\fR command searches for a dynamically loaded
+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.
+.VE
+
+.SH BUGS
+.PP
+If the same file is \fBload\fRed by different \fIfileName\fRs, it will
+be loaded into the process's address space multiple times.  The
+behavior of this varies from system to system (some systems may
+detect the redundant loads, others may not).

+\fBlsort \fR?\fIoptions\fR? \fIlist\fR
+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+This command sorts the elements of \fIlist\fR, returning a new
+list in sorted order.  By default ASCII sorting is used with
+the result returned in increasing order.
+However, any of the
+following options may be specified before \fIlist\fR to
+control the sorting process (unique abbreviations are accepted):
+.TP 20
+\fB\-ascii\fR
+Use string comparison with ASCII collation order.  This is
+the default.
+.VS 8.0 br
+.TP 20
+\fB\-dictionary\fR
+Use dictionary-style comparison.  This is the same as \fB\-ascii\fR
+except (a) case is ignored except as a tie-breaker and (b) if two
+strings contain embedded numbers, the numbers compare as integers,
+not characters.  For example, in \fB\-dictionary\fR mode, \fBbigBoy\fR
+sorts between \fBbigbang\fR and \fBbigboy\fR, and \fBx10y\fR
+sorts between \fBx9y\fR and \fBx11y\fR.
+.VE
+.TP 20
+\fB\-integer\fR
+Convert list elements to integers and use integer comparison.
+.TP 20
+\fB\-real\fR
+Convert list elements to floating-point values and use floating
+comparison.
+.TP 20
+\fB\-command\0\fIcommand\fR
+Use \fIcommand\fR as a comparison command.
+To compare two elements, evaluate a Tcl script consisting of
+\fIcommand\fR with the two elements appended as additional
+arguments.  The script should return an integer less than,
+equal to, or greater than zero if the first element is to
+be considered less than, equal to, or greater than the second,
+respectively.
+.TP 20
+\fB\-increasing\fR
+Sort the list in increasing order (``smallest'' items first).
+This is the default.
+.TP 20
+\fB\-decreasing\fR
+Sort the list in decreasing order (``largest'' items first).
+.VS 8.0 br
+.TP 20
+\fB\-index\0\fIindex\fR
+If this option is specified, each of the elements of \fIlist\fR must
+itself be a proper Tcl sublist.  Instead of sorting based on whole sublists,
+\fBlsort\fR will extract the \fIindex\fR'th element from each sublist
+and sort based on the given element.  The keyword \fBend\fP is allowed
+for the \fIindex\fP to sort on the last sublist element. For example,
+.RS
+.CS
+lsort -integer -index 1 {{First 24} {Second 18} {Third 30}}
+.CE
+returns \fB{Second 18} {First 24} {Third 30}\fR.
+This option is much more efficient than using \fB\-command\fR
+to achieve the same effect.

+.SH NAME
+namespace \- create and manipulate contexts for commands and variables
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fBnamespace \fR?\fIoption\fR? ?\fIarg ...\fR?
+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+The \fBnamespace\fR command lets you create, access, and destroy
+separate contexts for commands and variables.
+See the section \fBWHAT IS A NAMESPACE?\fR below
+for a brief overview of namespaces.
+The legal \fIoption\fR's are listed below.
+Note that you can abbreviate the \fIoption\fR's.
+.TP
+\fBnamespace children \fR?\fInamespace\fR? ?\fIpattern\fR?
+Returns a list of all child namespaces that belong to the
+namespace \fInamespace\fR.
+If \fInamespace\fR is not specified,
+then the children are returned for the current namespace.
+This command returns fully-qualified names,
+which start with \fB::\fR.
+If the optional \fIpattern\fR is given,
+then this command returns only the names that match the glob-style pattern.
+The actual pattern used is determined as follows:
+a pattern that starts with \fB::\fR is used directly,
+otherwise the namespace \fInamespace\fR
+(or the fully-qualified name of the current namespace)
+is prepended onto the the pattern.
+.TP
+\fBnamespace code \fIscript\fR
+Captures the current namespace context for later execution
+of the script \fIscript\fR.
+It returns a new script in which \fIscript\fR has been wrapped
+in a \fBnamespace code\fR command.
+The new script has two important properties.
+First, it can be evaluated in any namespace and will cause
+\fIscript\fR to be evaluated in the current namespace
+(the one where the \fBnamespace code\fR command was invoked).
+Second, additional arguments can be appended to the resulting script
+and they will be passed to \fIscript\fR as additional arguments.
+For example, suppose the command
+\fBset script [namespace code {foo bar}]\fR
+is invoked in namespace \fB::a::b\fR.
+Then \fBeval "$script x y"\fR
+can be executed in any namespace (assuming the value of
+\fBscript\fR has been passed in properly)
+and will have the same effect as the command
+\fBnamespace eval ::a::b {foo bar x y}\fR.
+This command is needed because
+extensions like Tk normally execute callback scripts
+in the global namespace.
+A scoped command captures a command together with its namespace context
+in a way that allows it to be executed properly later.
+See the section \fBSCOPED VALUES\fR for some examples
+of how this is used to create callback scripts.
+.TP
+\fBnamespace current\fR
+Returns the fully-qualified name for the current namespace.
+The actual name of the global namespace is ``''
+(i.e., an empty string),
+but this command returns \fB::\fR for the global namespace
+as a convenience to programmers.
+.TP
+\fBnamespace delete \fR?\fInamespace namespace ...\fR?
+Each namespace \fInamespace\fR is deleted
+and all variables, procedures, and child namespaces
+contained in the namespace are deleted.
+If a procedure is currently executing inside the namespace,
+the namespace will be kept alive until the procedure returns;
+however, the namespace is marked to prevent other code from
+looking it up by name.
+If a namespace doesn't exist, this command returns an error.
+If no namespace names are given, this command does nothing.
+.TP
+\fBnamespace eval\fR \fInamespace arg\fR ?\fIarg ...\fR?
+Activates a namespace called \fInamespace\fR and evaluates some code
+in that context.
+If the namespace does not already exist, it is created.
+If more than one \fIarg\fR argument is specified,
+the arguments are concatenated together with a space between each one
+in the same fashion as the \fBeval\fR command,
+and the result is evaluated.
+.br
+.sp
+If \fInamespace\fR has leading namespace qualifiers
+and any leading namespaces do not exist,
+they are automatically created.
+.TP
+\fBnamespace export \fR?\-\fBclear\fR? ?\fIpattern pattern ...\fR?
+Specifies which commands are exported from a namespace.
+The exported commands are those that can be later imported
+into another namespace using a \fBnamespace import\fR command.
+Both commands defined in a namespace and
+commands the namespace has previously imported
+can be exported by a namespace.
+The commands do not have to be defined
+at the time the \fBnamespace export\fR command is executed.
+Each \fIpattern\fR may contain glob-style special characters,
+but it may not include any namespace qualifiers.
+That is, the pattern can only specify commands
+in the current (exporting) namespace.
+Each \fIpattern\fR is appended onto the namespace's list of export patterns.
+If the \-\fBclear\fR flag is given,
+the namespace's export pattern list is reset to empty before any
+\fIpattern\fR arguments are appended.
+If no \fIpattern\fRs are given and the \-\fBclear\fR flag isn't given,
+this command returns the namespace's current export list.
+.TP
+\fBnamespace forget \fR?\fIpattern pattern ...\fR?
+Removes previously imported commands from a namespace.
+Each \fIpattern\fR is a qualified name such as
+\fBfoo::x\fR or \fBa::b::p*\fR.
+Qualified names contain \fB::\fRs and qualify a name
+with the name of one or more namespaces.
+Each \fIpattern\fR is qualified with the name of an exporting namespace
+and may have glob-style special characters in the command name
+at the end of the qualified name.
+Glob characters may not appear in a namespace name.
+This command first finds the matching exported commands.
+It then checks whether any of those those commands
+were previously imported by the current namespace.
+If so, this command deletes the corresponding imported commands. 
+In effect, this un-does the action of a \fBnamespace import\fR command.
+.TP
+\fBnamespace import \fR?\fB\-force\fR? ?\fIpattern\fR \fIpattern ...\fR?
+Imports commands into a namespace.
+Each \fIpattern\fR is a qualified name like
+\fBfoo::x\fR or \fBa::p*\fR.
+That is, it includes the name of an exporting namespace
+and may have glob-style special characters in the command name
+at the end of the qualified name.
+Glob characters may not appear in a namespace name.
+All the commands that match a \fIpattern\fR string
+and which are currently exported from their namespace
+are added to the current namespace.
+This is done by creating a new command in the current namespace
+that points to the exported command in its original namespace;
+when the new imported command is called, it invokes the exported command.
+This command normally returns an error
+if an imported command conflicts with an existing command.
+However, if the \-\fBforce\fR option is given,
+imported commands will silently replace existing commands.
+The \fBnamespace import\fR command has snapshot semantics:
+that is, only requested commands that are currently defined
+in the exporting namespace are imported.
+In other words, you can import only the commands that are in a namespace
+at the time when the \fBnamespace import\fR command is executed.
+If another command is defined and exported in this namespace later on,
+it will not be imported.
+.TP
+\fBnamespace inscope\fR \fInamespace arg\fR ?\fIarg ...\fR?
+Executes a script in the context of a particular namespace.
+This command is not expected to be used directly by programmers;
+calls to it are generated implicitly when applications
+use \fBnamespace code\fR commands to create callback scripts
+that the applications then register with, e.g., Tk widgets.
+The \fBnamespace inscope\fR command is much like the \fBnamespace eval\fR
+command except that it has \fBlappend\fR semantics
+and the namespace must already exist.
+It treats the first argument as a list,
+and appends any arguments after the first
+onto the end as proper list elements.
+\fBnamespace inscope ::foo a x y z\fR
+is equivalent to
+\fBnamespace eval ::foo [concat a [list x y z]]\fR
+This \fBlappend\fR semantics is important because many callback scripts
+are actually prefixes.
+.TP
+\fBnamespace origin \fIcommand\fR
+Returns the fully-qualified name of the original command
+to which the imported command \fIcommand\fR refers.
+When a command is imported into a namespace,
+a new command is created in that namespace
+that points to the actual command in the exporting namespace.
+If a command is imported into a sequence of namespaces
+\fIa, b,...,n\fR where each successive namespace
+just imports the command from the previous namespace,
+this command returns the fully-qualified name of the original command
+in the first namespace, \fIa\fR.
+If \fIcommand\fR does not refer to an imported command,
+the command's own fully-qualified name is returned.
+.TP
+\fBnamespace parent\fR ?\fInamespace\fR?
+Returns the fully-qualified name of the parent namespace
+for namespace \fInamespace\fR.
+If \fInamespace\fR is not specified,
+the fully-qualified name of the current namespace's parent is returned.
+.TP
+\fBnamespace qualifiers\fR \fIstring\fR
+Returns any leading namespace qualifiers for \fIstring\fR.
+Qualifiers are namespace names separated by \fB::\fRs.
+For the \fIstring\fR \fB::foo::bar::x\fR,
+this command returns \fB::foo::bar\fR,
+and for \fB::\fR it returns \fB``''\fR (an empty string).
+This command is the complement of the \fBnamespace tail\fR command.
+Note that it does not check whether the
+namespace names are, in fact,
+the names of currently defined namespaces.
+.TP
+\fBnamespace tail\fR \fIstring\fR
+Returns the simple name at the end of a qualified string.
+Qualifiers are namespace names separated by \fB::\fRs.
+For the \fIstring\fR \fB::foo::bar::x\fR,
+this command returns \fBx\fR,
+and for \fB::\fR it returns \fB``''\fR (an empty string).
+This command is the complement of the \fBnamespace qualifiers\fR command.
+It does not check whether the namespace names are, in fact,
+the names of currently defined namespaces.
+.TP
+\fBnamespace which\fR ?\-\fBcommand\fR? ?\-\fBvariable\fR? \fIname\fR
+Looks up \fIname\fR as either a command or variable
+and returns its fully-qualified name.
+For example, if \fIname\fR does not exist in the current namespace
+but does exist in the global namespace,
+this command returns a fully-qualified name in the global namespace.
+If the command or variable does not exist,
+this command returns an empty string.
+If no flag is given, \fIname\fR is treated as a command name.
+See the section \fBNAME RESOLUTION\fR below for an explanation of
+the rules regarding name resolution.
+
+.SH "WHAT IS A NAMESPACE?"
+.PP
+A namespace is a collection of commands and variables.
+It encapsulates the commands and variables to ensure that they
+won't interfere with the commands and variables of other namespaces.
+Tcl has always had one such collection,
+which we refer to as the \fIglobal namespace\fR.
+The global namespace holds all global variables and commands.
+The \fBnamespace eval\fR command lets you create new namespaces.
+For example,
+.CS
+\fBnamespace eval Counter {
+    namespace export Bump
+    variable num 0
+
+    proc Bump {} {
+        variable num
+        incr num
+    }
+}\fR
+.CE
+creates a new namespace containing the variable \fBnum\fR and
+the procedure \fBBump\fR.
+The commands and variables in this namespace are separate from
+other commands and variables in the same program.
+If there is a command named \fBBump\fR in the global namespace,
+for example, it will be different from the command \fBBump\fR
+in the \fBCounter\fR namespace.
+.PP
+Namespace variables resemble global variables in Tcl.
+They exist outside of the procedures in a namespace
+but can be accessed in a procedure via the \fBvariable\fR command,
+as shown in the example above.
+.PP
+Namespaces are dynamic.
+You can add and delete commands and variables at any time,
+so you can build up the contents of a
+namespace over time using a series of \fBnamespace eval\fR commands.
+For example, the following series of commands has the same effect
+as the namespace definition shown above:
+.CS
+\fBnamespace eval Counter {
+    variable num 0
+    proc Bump {} {
+        variable num
+        return [incr num]
+    }
+}
+namespace eval Counter {
+    proc test {args} {
+        return $args
+    }
+}
+namespace eval Counter {
+    rename test ""
+}\fR
+.CE
+Note that the \fBtest\fR procedure is added to the \fBCounter\fR namespace,
+and later removed via the \fBrename\fR command.
+.PP
+Namespaces can have other namespaces within them,
+so they nest hierarchically.
+A nested namespace is encapsulated inside its parent namespace
+and can not interfere with other namespaces.
+
+.SH "QUALIFIED NAMES"
+.PP
+Each namespace has a textual name such as
+\fBhistory\fR or \fB::safe::interp\fR.
+Since namespaces may nest,
+qualified names are used to refer to
+commands, variables, and child namespaces contained inside namespaces.
+Qualified names are similar to the hierarchical path names for
+Unix files or Tk widgets,
+except that \fB::\fR is used as the separator
+instead of \fB/\fR or \fB.\fR.
+The topmost or global namespace has the name ``'' (i.e., an empty string),
+although \fB::\fR is a synonym.
+As an example, the name \fB::safe::interp::create\fR
+refers to the command \fBcreate\fR in the namespace \fBinterp\fR
+that is a child of of namespace \fB::safe\fR,
+which in turn is a child of the global namespace \fB::\fR.
+.PP
+If you want to access commands and variables from another namespace,
+you must use some extra syntax.
+Names must be qualified by the namespace that contains them.
+From the global namespace,
+we might access the \fBCounter\fR procedures like this:
+.CS
+\fBCounter::Bump 5
+Counter::Reset\fR
+.CE
+We could access the current count like this:
+.CS
+\fBputs "count = $Counter::num"\fR
+.CE
+When one namespace contains another, you may need more than one
+qualifier to reach its elements.
+If we had a namespace \fBFoo\fR that contained the namespace \fBCounter\fR,
+you could invoke its \fBBump\fR procedure
+from the global namespace like this:
+.CS
+\fBFoo::Counter::Bump 3\fR
+.CE
+.PP
+You can also use qualified names when you create and rename commands.
+For example, you could add a procedure to the \fBFoo\fR
+namespace like this:
+.CS
+\fBproc Foo::Test {args} {return $args}\fR
+.CE
+And you could move the same procedure to another namespace like this:
+.CS
+\fBrename Foo::Test Bar::Test\fR
+.CE
+.PP
+There are a few remaining points about qualified names
+that we should cover.
+Namespaces have nonempty names except for the global namespace.
+\fB::\fR is disallowed in simple command, variable, and namespace names
+except as a namespace separator.
+Extra \fB:\fRs in a qualified name are ignored;
+that is, two or more \fB:\fRs are treated as a namespace separator.
+A trailing \fB::\fR in a qualified variable or command name
+refers to the variable or command named {}.
+However, a trailing \fB::\fR in a qualified namespace name is ignored.
+
+.SH "NAME RESOLUTION"
+.PP
+In general, all Tcl commands that take variable and command names
+support qualified names.
+This means you can give qualified names to such commands as
+\fBset\fR, \fBproc\fR, \fBrename\fR, and \fBinterp alias\fR.
+If you provide a fully-qualified name that starts with a \fB::\fR,
+there is no question about what command, variable, or namespace
+you mean.
+However, if the name does not start with a \fB::\fR
+(i.e., is \fIrelative\fR), 
+Tcl follows a fixed rule for looking it up:
+Command and variable names are always resolved
+by looking first in the current namespace,
+and then in the global namespace.
+Namespace names, on the other hand, are always resolved
+by looking in only the current namespace.
+.PP
+In the following example,
+.CS
+\fBset traceLevel 0
+namespace eval Debug {
+    printTrace $traceLevel
+}\fR
+.CE
+Tcl looks for \fBtraceLevel\fR in the namespace \fBDebug\fR
+and then in the global namespace.
+It looks up the command \fBprintTrace\fR in the same way.
+If a variable or command name is not found in either context,
+the name is undefined.
+To make this point absolutely clear, consider the following example:
+.CS
+\fBset traceLevel 0
+namespace eval Foo {
+    variable traceLevel 3
+
+    namespace eval Debug {
+        printTrace $traceLevel
+    }
+}\fR
+.CE
+Here Tcl looks for \fBtraceLevel\fR first in the namespace \fBFoo::Debug\fR.
+Since it is not found there, Tcl then looks for it 
+in the global namespace.
+The variable \fBFoo::traceLevel\fR is completely ignored
+during the name resolution process.
+.PP
+You can use the \fBnamespace which\fR command to clear up any question
+about name resolution.
+For example, the command:
+.CS
+\fBnamespace eval Foo::Debug {namespace which \-variable traceLevel}\fR
+.CE
+returns \fB::traceLevel\fR.
+On the other hand, the command,
+.CS
+\fBnamespace eval Foo {namespace which \-variable traceLevel}\fR
+.CE
+returns \fB::Foo::traceLevel\fR.
+.PP
+As mentioned above,
+namespace names are looked up differently
+than the names of variables and commands.
+Namespace names are always resolved in the current namespace.
+This means, for example,
+that a \fBnamespace eval\fR command that creates a new namespace
+always creates a child of the current namespace
+unless the new namespace name begins with a \fB::\fR.
+.PP
+Tcl has no access control to limit what variables, commands,
+or namespaces you can reference.
+If you provide a qualified name that resolves to an element
+by the name resolution rule above,
+you can access the element.
+.PP
+You can access a namespace variable
+from a procedure in the same namespace
+by using the \fBvariable\fR command.
+Much like the \fBglobal\fR command,
+this creates a local link to the namespace variable.
+If necessary, it also creates the variable in the current namespace
+and initializes it.
+Note that the \fBglobal\fR command only creates links
+to variables in the global namespace.
+It is not necessary to use a \fBvariable\fR command
+if you always refer to the namespace variable using an
+appropriate qualified name.
+
+.SH "IMPORTING COMMANDS"
+.PP
+Namespaces are often used to represent libraries.
+Some library commands are used so frequently
+that it is a nuisance to type their qualified names.
+For example, suppose that all of the commands in a package
+like BLT are contained in a namespace called \fBBlt\fR.
+Then you might access these commands like this:
+.CS
+\fBBlt::graph .g \-background red
+Blt::table . .g 0,0\fR
+.CE
+If you use the \fBgraph\fR and \fBtable\fR commands frequently,
+you may want to access them without the \fBBlt::\fR prefix.
+You can do this by importing the commands into the current namespace,
+like this:
+.CS
+\fBnamespace import Blt::*\fR
+.CE
+This adds all exported commands from the \fBBlt\fR namespace
+into the current namespace context, so you can write code like this:
+.CS
+\fBgraph .g \-background red
+table . .g 0,0\fR
+.CE
+The \fBnamespace import\fR command only imports commands
+from a namespace that that namespace exported
+with a \fBnamespace export\fR command.
+.PP
+Importing \fIevery\fR command from a namespace is generally
+a bad idea since you don't know what you will get.
+It is better to import just the specific commands you need.
+For example, the command
+.CS
+\fBnamespace import Blt::graph Blt::table\fR
+.CE
+imports only the \fBgraph\fR and \fBtable\fR commands into the
+current context.
+.PP
+If you try to import a command that already exists, you will get an
+error.  This prevents you from importing the same command from two
+different packages.  But from time to time (perhaps when debugging),
+you may want to get around this restriction.  You may want to
+reissue the \fBnamespace import\fR command to pick up new commands
+that have appeared in a namespace.  In that case, you can use the
+\fB\-force\fR option, and existing commands will be silently overwritten:
+.CS
+\fBnamespace import \-force Blt::graph Blt::table\fR
+.CE
+If for some reason, you want to stop using the imported commands,
+you can remove them with an \fBnamespace forget\fR command, like this:
+.CS
+\fBnamespace forget Blt::*\fR
+.CE
+This searches the current namespace for any commands imported from \fBBlt\fR.
+If it finds any, it removes them.  Otherwise, it does nothing.
+After this, the \fBBlt\fR commands must be accessed with the \fBBlt::\fR
+prefix.
+.PP
+When you delete a command from the exporting namespace like this:
+.CS
+\fBrename Blt::graph ""\fR
+.CE
+the command is automatically removed from all namespaces that import it.
+
+.SH "EXPORTING COMMANDS"
+You can export commands from a namespace like this:
+.CS
+\fBnamespace eval Counter {
+    namespace export Bump Reset
+    variable num 0
+    variable max 100
+
+    proc Bump {{by 1}} {
+        variable num
+        incr num $by
+        check
+        return $num
+    }
+    proc Reset {} {
+        variable num
+        set num 0
+    }
+    proc check {} {
+        variable num
+        variable max
+        if {$num > $max} {
+            error "too high!"
+        }
+    }
+}\fR
+.CE
+The procedures \fBBump\fR and \fBReset\fR are exported,
+so they are included when you import from the \fBCounter\fR namespace,
+like this:
+.CS
+\fBnamespace import Counter::*\fR
+.CE
+However, the \fBcheck\fR procedure is not exported,
+so it is ignored by the import operation.
+.PP
+The \fBnamespace import\fR command only imports commands
+that were declared as exported by their namespace.
+The \fBnamespace export\fR command specifies what commands
+may be imported by other namespaces.
+If a \fBnamespace import\fR command specifies a command
+that is not exported, the command is not imported.

+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.sp
+\fBopen \fIfileName\fR
+.br
+\fBopen \fIfileName access\fR
+.br
+\fBopen \fIfileName access permissions\fR
+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+.VS
+This command opens a file, serial port, or command pipeline and returns a
+.VE
+channel identifier that may be used in future invocations of commands like
+\fBread\fR, \fBputs\fR, and \fBclose\fR.
+If the first character of \fIfileName\fR is not \fB|\fR then
+the command opens a file:
+\fIfileName\fR gives the name of the file to open, and it must conform to the
+conventions described in the \fBfilename\fR manual entry.
+.PP
+The \fIaccess\fR argument, if present, indicates the way in which the file
+(or command pipeline) is to be accessed.
+In the first form \fIaccess\fR may have any of the following values:
+.TP 15
+\fBr\fR
+Open the file for reading only; the file must already exist. This is the
+default value if \fIaccess\fR is not specified.
+.TP 15
+\fBr+\fR
+Open the file for both reading and writing; the file must
+already exist.
+.TP 15
+\fBw\fR
+Open the file for writing only.  Truncate it if it exists.  If it doesn't
+exist, create a new file.
+.TP 15
+\fBw+\fR
+Open the file for reading and writing.  Truncate it if it exists.
+If it doesn't exist, create a new file.
+.TP 15
+\fBa\fR
+Open the file for writing only.  The file must already exist, and the file
+is positioned so that new data is appended to the file.
+.TP 15
+\fBa+\fR
+Open the file for reading and writing.  If the file doesn't exist,
+create a new empty file.
+Set the initial access position  to the end of the file.
+.PP
+In the second form, \fIaccess\fR consists of a list of any of the
+following flags, all of which have the standard POSIX meanings.
+One of the flags must be either \fBRDONLY\fR, \fBWRONLY\fR or \fBRDWR\fR.
+.TP 15
+\fBRDONLY\fR
+Open the file for reading only.
+.TP 15
+\fBWRONLY\fR
+Open the file for writing only.
+.TP 15
+\fBRDWR\fR
+Open the file for both reading and writing.
+.TP 15
+\fBAPPEND\fR
+Set the file pointer to the end of the file prior to each write.
+.TP 15
+\fBCREAT\fR
+Create the file if it doesn't already exist (without this flag it
+is an error for the file not to exist).
+.TP 15
+\fBEXCL\fR
+If \fBCREAT\fR is also specified, an error is returned if the
+file already exists.
+.TP 15
+\fBNOCTTY\fR
+If the file is a terminal device, this flag prevents the file from
+becoming the controlling terminal of the process.
+.TP 15
+\fBNONBLOCK\fR
+Prevents the process from blocking while opening the file, and
+possibly in subsequent I/O operations.  The exact behavior of
+this flag is system- and device-dependent;  its use is discouraged
+(it is better to use the \fBfconfigure\fR command to put a file
+in nonblocking mode).
+For details refer to your system documentation on the \fBopen\fR system
+call's \fBO_NONBLOCK\fR flag.
+.TP 15
+\fBTRUNC\fR
+If the file exists it is truncated to zero length.
+.PP
+If a new file is created as part of opening it, \fIpermissions\fR
+(an integer) is used to set the permissions for the new file in
+conjunction with the process's file mode creation mask.
+\fIPermissions\fR defaults to 0666.
+.SH "COMMAND PIPELINES"
+.PP
+If the first character of \fIfileName\fR is ``|'' then the
+remaining characters of \fIfileName\fR are treated as a list of arguments
+that describe a command pipeline to invoke, in the same style as the
+arguments for \fBexec\fR.
+In this case, the channel identifier returned by \fBopen\fR may be used
+to write to the command's input pipe or read from its output pipe,
+depending on the value of \fIaccess\fR.
+If write-only access is used (e.g. \fIaccess\fR is \fBw\fR), then
+standard output for the pipeline is directed to the current standard
+output unless overridden by the command.
+If read-only access is used (e.g. \fIaccess\fR is \fBr\fR),
+standard input for the pipeline is taken from the current standard
+input unless overridden by the command.
+.SH "SERIAL COMMUNICATIONS"
+.VS
+.PP
+If \fIfileName\fR refers to a serial port, then the specified serial port
+is opened and initialized in a platform-dependent manner.  Acceptable
+values for the \fIfileName\fR to use to open a serial port are described in
+the PORTABILITY ISSUES section.
+
+.SH "CONFIGURATION OPTIONS"
+The \fBfconfigure\fR command can be used to query and set the following
+configuration option for open serial ports:
+.TP
+\fB\-mode \fIbaud\fB,\fIparity\fB,\fIdata\fB,\fIstop\fR
+.
+This option is a set of 4 comma-separated values: the baud rate, parity,
+number of data bits, and number of stop bits for this serial port.  The
+\fIbaud\fR rate is a simple integer that specifies the connection speed.
+\fIParity\fR is one of the following letters: \fBn\fR, \fBo\fR, \fBe\fR,
+\fBm\fR, \fBs\fR; respectively signifying the parity options of ``none'',
+``odd'', ``even'', ``mark'', or ``space''.  \fIData\fR is the number of
+data bits and should be an integer from 5 to 8, while \fIstop\fR is the
+number of stop bits and should be the integer 1 or 2.
+.VE
+
+.VS
+.SH "PORTABILITY ISSUES"
+.sp
+.TP
+\fBWindows \fR(all versions)
+.
+Valid values for \fIfileName\fR to open a serial port are of the form
+\fBcom\fIX\fB:\fR, where \fIX\fR is a number, generally from 1 to 4.  An
+attempt to open a serial port that does not exist will fail.
+.TP
+\fBWindows NT\fR
+.
+When running Tcl interactively, there may be some strange interactions
+between the real console, if one is present, and a command pipeline that uses
+standard input or output.  If a command pipeline is opened for reading, some
+of the lines entered at the console will be sent to the command pipeline and
+some will be sent to the Tcl evaluator.  If a command pipeline is opened for
+writing, keystrokes entered into the console are not visible until the the
+pipe is closed.  This behavior occurs whether the command pipeline is
+executing 16-bit or 32-bit applications.  These problems only occur because
+both Tcl and the child application are competing for the console at
+the same time.  If the command pipeline is started from a script, so that Tcl
+is not accessing the console, or if the command pipeline does not use
+standard input or output, but is redirected from or to a file, then the
+above problems do not occur.  
+.TP
+\fBWindows 95\fR 
+.
+A command pipeline that executes a 16-bit DOS application cannot be opened
+for both reading and writing, since 16-bit DOS applications that receive
+standard input from a pipe and send standard output to a pipe run
+synchronously.  Command pipelines that do not execute 16-bit DOS
+applications run asynchronously and can be opened for both reading and
+writing.  
+.sp
+When running Tcl interactively, there may be some strange interactions
+between the real console, if one is present, and a command pipeline that uses
+standard input or output.  If a command pipeline is opened for reading from
+a 32-bit application, some of the keystrokes entered at the console will be
+sent to the command pipeline and some will be sent to the Tcl evaluator.  If
+a command pipeline is opened for writing to a 32-bit application, no output
+is visible on the console until the the pipe is closed.  These problems only
+occur because both Tcl and the child application are competing for the
+console at the same time.  If the command pipeline is started from a script,
+so that Tcl is not accessing the console, or if the command pipeline does
+not use standard input or output, but is redirected from or to a file, then
+the above problems do not occur.  
+.sp
+Whether or not Tcl is running interactively, if a command pipeline is opened
+for reading from a 16-bit DOS application, the call to \fBopen\fR will not
+return until end-of-file has been received from the command pipeline's
+standard output.  If a command pipeline is opened for writing to a 16-bit DOS
+application, no data will be sent to the command pipeline's standard output
+until the pipe is actually closed.  This problem occurs because 16-bit DOS
+applications are run synchronously, as described above.  
+.TP
+\fBWindows 3.X\fR 
+.
+A command pipeline can execute 16-bit or 32-bit DOS or Windows
+applications, but the call to \fBopen\fR will not return until the last
+program in the pipeline has finished executing; command pipelines run
+synchronously.  If the pipeline is opened with write access (either just
+writing or both reading and writing) the first application in the
+pipeline will instead see an immediate end-of-file; any data the caller
+writes to the open pipe will instead be discarded.
+.sp
+Since Tcl cannot be run with a real console under Windows 3.X, there are
+no interactions between command pipelines and the console.
+.TP
+\fBMacintosh\fR
+.
+Opening a serial port is not currently implemented under Macintosh.
+.sp
+Opening a command pipeline is not supported under Macintosh, since 
+applications do not support the concept of standard input or output.
+.TP
+\fBUnix\fR\0\0\0\0\0\0\0
+.
+Valid values for \fIfileName\fR to open a serial port are generally of the
+form \fB/dev/tty\fIX\fR, where \fIX\fR is \fBa\fR or \fBb\fR, but the name
+of any pseudo-file that maps to a serial port may be used.
+.sp
+When running Tcl interactively, there may be some strange interactions
+between the console, if one is present, and a command pipeline that uses
+standard input.  If a command pipeline is opened for reading, some
+of the lines entered at the console will be sent to the command pipeline and
+some will be sent to the Tcl evaluator.  This problem only occurs because
+both Tcl and the child application are competing for the console at the
+same time.  If the command pipeline is started from a script, so that Tcl is
+not accessing the console, or if the command pipeline does not use standard
+input, but is redirected from a file, then the above problem does not occur.

+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+This command keeps a simple database of the packages available for
+use by the current interpreter and how to load them into the
+interpreter.
+It supports multiple versions of each package and arranges
+for the correct version of a package to be loaded based on what
+is needed by the application.
+This command also detects and reports version clashes.
+Typically, only the \fBpackage require\fR and \fBpackage provide\fR
+commands are invoked in normal Tcl scripts;  the other commands are used
+primarily by system scripts that maintain the package database.
+.PP
+The behavior of the \fBpackage\fR command is determined by its first argument.
+The following forms are permitted:
+.TP
+\fBpackage forget \fIpackage\fR
+Removes all information about \fIpackage\fR from this interpreter,
+including information provided by both \fBpackage ifneeded\fR and
+\fBpackage provide\fR.
+.TP
+\fBpackage ifneeded \fIpackage version\fR ?\fIscript\fR?
+This command typically appears only in system configuration
+scripts to set up the package database.
+It indicates that a particular version of
+a particular package is available if needed, and that the package
+can be added to the interpreter by executing \fIscript\fR.
+The script is saved in a database for use by subsequent
+\fBpackage require\fR commands;  typically, \fIscript\fR
+sets up auto-loading for the commands in the package (or calls
+\fBload\fR and/or \fBsource\fR directly), then invokes
+\fBpackage provide\fR to indicate that the package is present.
+There may be information in the database for several different
+versions of a single package.
+If the database already contains information for \fIpackage\fR
+and \fIversion\fR, the new \fIscript\fR replaces the existing
+one.
+If the \fIscript\fR argument is omitted, the current script for
+version \fIversion\fR of package \fIpackage\fR is returned,
+or an empty string if no \fBpackage ifneeded\fR command has
+been invoked for this \fIpackage\fR and \fIversion\fR.
+.TP
+\fBpackage names\fR
+Returns a list of the names of all packages in the
+interpreter for which a version has been provided (via
+\fBpackage provide\fR) or for which a \fBpackage ifneeded\fR
+script is available.
+The order of elements in the list is arbitrary.
+.TP
+\fBpackage provide \fIpackage \fR?\fIversion\fR?
+This command is invoked to indicate that version \fIversion\fR
+of package \fIpackage\fR is now present in the interpreter.
+It is typically invoked once as part of an \fBifneeded\fR script,
+and again by the package itself when it is finally loaded.
+An error occurs if a different version of \fIpackage\fR has been
+provided by a previous \fBpackage provide\fR command.
+If the \fIversion\fR argument is omitted, then the command
+returns the version number that is currently provided, or an
+empty string if no \fBpackage provide\fR command has been
+invoked for \fIpackage\fR in this interpreter.
+.TP
+\fBpackage require \fR?\fB\-exact\fR? \fIpackage \fR?\fIversion\fR?
+This command is typically invoked by Tcl code that wishes to use
+a particular version of a particular package.  The arguments
+indicate which package is wanted, and the command ensures that
+a suitable version of the package is loaded into the interpreter.
+If the command succeeds, it returns the version number that is
+loaded;  otherwise it generates an error.
+If both the \fB\-exact\fR
+switch and the \fIversion\fR argument are specified then only the
+given version is acceptable.  If \fB\-exact\fR is omitted but
+\fIversion\fR is specified, then versions later than \fIversion\fR
+are also acceptable as long as they have the same major version
+number as \fIversion\fR.
+If both \fB\-exact\fR and \fIversion\fR are omitted then any
+version whatsoever is acceptable.
+If a version of \fIpackage\fR has already been provided (by invoking
+the \fBpackage provide\fR command), then its version number must
+satisfy the criteria given by \fB\-exact\fR and \fIversion\fR and
+the command returns immediately.
+Otherwise, the command searches the database of information provided by
+previous \fBpackage ifneeded\fR commands to see if an acceptable
+version of the package is available.
+If so, the script for the highest acceptable version number is invoked;
+it must do whatever is necessary to load the package,
+including calling \fBpackage provide\fR for the package.
+If the \fBpackage ifneeded\fR database does not contain an acceptable
+version of the package and a \fBpackage unknown\fR command has been
+specified for the interpreter then that command is invoked;  when
+it completes, Tcl checks again to see if the package is now provided
+or if there is a \fBpackage ifneeded\fR script for it.
+If all of these steps fail to provide an acceptable version of the
+package, then the command returns an error.
+.TP
+\fBpackage unknown \fR?\fIcommand\fR?
+This command supplies a ``last resort'' command to invoke during
+\fBpackage require\fR if no suitable version of a package can be found
+in the \fBpackage ifneeded\fR database.
+If the \fIcommand\fR argument is supplied, it contains the first part
+of a command;  when the command is invoked during a \fBpackage require\fR
+command, Tcl appends two additional arguments giving the desired package
+name and version.
+For example, if \fIcommand\fR is \fBfoo bar\fR and later the command
+\fBpackage require test 2.4\fR is invoked, then Tcl will execute
+the command \fBfoo bar test 2.4\fR to load the package.
+If no version number is supplied to the \fBpackage require\fR command,
+then the version argument for the invoked command will be an empty string.
+If the \fBpackage unknown\fR command is invoked without a \fIcommand\fR
+argument, then the current \fBpackage unknown\fR script is returned,
+or an empty string if there is none.
+If \fIcommand\fR is specified as an empty string, then the current
+\fBpackage unknown\fR script is removed, if there is one.
+.TP
+\fBpackage vcompare \fIversion1 version2\fR
+Compares the two version numbers given by \fIversion1\fR and \fIversion2\fR.
+Returns -1 if \fIversion1\fR is an earlier version than \fIversion2\fR,
+0 if they are equal, and 1 if \fIversion1\fR is later than \fBversion2\fR.
+.TP
+\fBpackage versions \fIpackage\fR
+Returns a list of all the version numbers of \fIpackage\fR
+for which information has been provided by \fBpackage ifneeded\fR
+commands.
+.TP
+\fBpackage vsatisfies \fIversion1 version2\fR
+Returns 1 if scripts written for \fIversion2\fR will work unchanged
+with \fIversion1\fR (i.e. \fIversion1\fR is equal to or greater
+than \fIversion2\fR and they both have the same major version
+number), 0 otherwise.
+
+.SH "VERSION NUMBERS"
+.PP
+Version numbers consist of one or more decimal numbers separated
+by dots, such as 2 or 1.162 or 3.1.13.1.
+The first number is called the major version number.
+Larger numbers correspond to later versions of a package, with
+leftmost numbers having greater significance.
+For example, version 2.1 is later than 1.3 and version
+3.4.6 is later than 3.3.5.
+Missing fields are equivalent to zeroes:  version 1.3 is the
+same as version 1.3.0 and 1.3.0.0, so it is earlier than 1.3.1 or 1.3.0.2.
+A later version number is assumed to be upwards compatible with
+an earlier version number as long as both versions have the same
+major version number.
+For example, Tcl scripts written for version 2.3 of a package should
+work unchanged under versions 2.3.2, 2.4, and 2.5.1.
+Changes in the major version number signify incompatible changes:
+if code is written to use version 2.1 of a package, it is not guaranteed
+to work unmodified with either version 1.7.3 or version 3.1.
+
+.SH "PACKAGE INDICES"
+.PP
+The recommended way to use packages in Tcl is to invoke \fBpackage require\fR
+and \fBpackage provide\fR commands in scripts, and use the procedure
+\fBpkg_mkIndex\fR to create package index files.
+Once you've done this, packages will be loaded automatically
+in response to \fBpackage require\fR commands.
+See the documentation for \fBpkg_mkIndex\fR for details.

+\fBpkg_mkIndex \fIdir\fR \fIpattern \fR?\fIpattern pattern ...\fR?
+.fi
+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+\fBPkg_mkIndex\fR is a utility procedure that is part of the standard
+Tcl library.
+It is used to create index files that allow packages to be loaded
+automatically when \fBpackage require\fR commands are executed.
+To use \fBpkg_mkIndex\fR, follow these steps:
+.IP [1]
+Create the package(s).
+Each package may consist of one or more Tcl script files or binary files.
+Binary files must be suitable for loading with the \fBload\fR command
+with a single argument;  for example, if the file is \fBtest.so\fR it must
+be possible to load this file with the command \fBload test.so\fR.
+Each script file must contain a \fBpackage provide\fR command to declare
+the package and version number, and each binary file must contain
+a call to \fBTcl_PkgProvide\fR.
+.IP [2]
+Create the index by invoking \fBpkg_mkIndex\fR.
+The \fIdir\fR argument gives the name of a directory and each
+\fIpattern\fR argument is a \fBglob\fR-style pattern that selects
+script or binary files in \fIdir\fR.
+\fBPkg_mkIndex\fR will create a file \fBpkgIndex.tcl\fR in \fIdir\fR
+with package information about all the files given by the \fIpattern\fR
+arguments.
+It does this by loading each file and seeing what packages
+and new commands appear (this is why it is essential to have
+\fBpackage provide\fR commands or \fBTcl_PkgProvide\fR calls
+in the files, as described above).
+.VS "" br
+.IP [3]
+Install the package as a subdirectory of one of the directories given by
+the \fBtcl_pkgPath\fR variable.  If \fB$tcl_pkgPath\fR contains more
+than one directory, machine-dependent packages (e.g., those that
+contain binary shared libraries) should normally be installed
+under the first directory and machine-independent packages (e.g.,
+those that contain only Tcl scripts) should be installed under the
+second directory.
+The subdirectory should include
+the package's script and/or binary files as well as the \fBpkgIndex.tcl\fR
+file.  As long as the package is installed as a subdirectory of a
+directory in \fB$tcl_pkgPath\fR it will automatically be found during
+\fBpackage require\fR commands.
+.RS
+.LP
+If you install the package anywhere else, then you must ensure that
+the directory contaiingn the package is in the \fBauto_path\fR global variable
+or an immediate subdirectory of one of the directories in \fBauto_path\fR.
+\fBAuto_path\fR contains a list of directories that are searched
+by both the auto-loader and the package loader; by default it
+includes \fB$tcl_pkgPath\fR.
+The package loader also checks all of the subdirectories of the
+directories in \fBauto_path\fR.
+.VE
+You can add a directory to \fBauto_path\fR explicitly in your
+application, or you can add the directory to your \fBTCLLIBPATH\fR
+environment variable:  if this environment variable is present,
+Tcl initializes \fBauto_path\fR from it during application startup.
+.RE
+.IP [4]
+Once the above steps have been taken, all you need to do to use a
+package is to invoke \fBpackage require\fR.
+For example, if versions 2.1, 2.3, and 3.1 of package \fBTest\fR
+have been indexed by \fBpkg_mkIndex\fR, the command
+\fBpackage require Test\fR will make version 3.1 available
+and the command \fBpackage require \-exact Test 2.1\fR will
+make version 2.1 available.
+There may be many versions of a package in the various index files
+in \fBauto_path\fR, but only one will actually be loaded in a given
+interpreter, based on the first call to \fBpackage require\fR.
+Different versions of a package may be loaded in different
+interpreters.
+
+.SH "PACKAGES AND THE AUTO-LOADER"
+.PP
+The package management facilities overlap somewhat with the auto-loader,
+in that both arrange for files to be loaded on-demand.
+However, package management is a higher-level mechanism that uses
+the auto-loader for the last step in the loading process.
+It is generally better to index a package with \fBpkg_mkIndex\fR
+rather than \fBauto_mkindex\fR because the package mechanism provides
+version control:  several versions of a package can be made available
+in the index files, with different applications using different
+versions based on \fBpackage require\fR commands.
+In contrast, \fBauto_mkindex\fR does not understand versions so
+it can only handle a single version of each package. 
+It is probably not a good idea to index a given package with both
+\fBpkg_mkIndex\fR and \fBauto_mkindex\fR.
+If you use \fBpkg_mkIndex\fR to index a package, its commands cannot
+be invoked until \fBpackage require\fR has been used to select a
+version;  in contrast, packages indexed with \fBauto_mkindex\fR
+can be used immediately since there is no version control.
+
+.SH "HOW IT WORKS"
+.PP
+\fBPkg_mkIndex\fR depends on the \fBpackage unknown\fR command,
+the \fBpackage ifneeded\fR command, and the auto-loader.
+The first time a \fBpackage require\fR command is invoked,
+the \fBpackage unknown\fR script is invoked.
+This is set by Tcl initialization to a script that
+evaluates all of the \fBpkgIndex.tcl\fR files in the
+\fBauto_path\fR.
+The \fBpkgIndex.tcl\fR files contain \fBpackage ifneeded\fR
+commands for each version of each available package;  these commands
+invoke \fBpackage provide\fR commands to announce the
+availability of the package, and they setup auto-loader
+information to load the files of the package.
+A given file of a given version of a given package isn't
+actually loaded until the first time one of its commands
+is invoked.
+Thus, after invoking \fBpackage require\fR you won't see
+the package's commands in the interpreter, but you will be able
+to invoke the commands and they will be auto-loaded.

+.SH NAME
+proc \- Create a Tcl procedure
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fBproc \fIname args body\fR
+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+The \fBproc\fR command creates a new Tcl procedure named
+\fIname\fR, replacing
+any existing command or procedure there may have been by that name.
+Whenever the new command is invoked, the contents of \fIbody\fR will
+be executed by the Tcl interpreter.
+Normally, \fIname\fR is unqualified
+(does not include the names of any containing namespaces),
+and the new procedure is created in the current namespace.
+If \fIname\fR includes any namespace qualifiers,
+the procedure is created in the specified namespace.
+\fIArgs\fR specifies the formal arguments to the
+procedure.  It consists of a list, possibly empty, each of whose
+elements specifies
+one argument.  Each argument specifier is also a list with either
+one or two fields.  If there is only a single field in the specifier
+then it is the name of the argument; if there are two fields, then
+the first is the argument name and the second is its default value.
+.PP
+When \fIname\fR is invoked a local variable
+will be created for each of the formal arguments to the procedure; its
+value will be the value of corresponding argument in the invoking command
+or the argument's default value.
+Arguments with default values need not be
+specified in a procedure invocation.  However, there must be enough
+actual arguments for all the
+formal arguments that don't have defaults, and there must not be any extra
+actual arguments.  There is one special case to permit procedures with
+variable numbers of arguments.  If the last formal argument has the name
+\fBargs\fR, then a call to the procedure may contain more actual arguments
+than the procedure has formals.  In this case, all of the actual arguments
+starting at the one that would be assigned to \fBargs\fR are combined into
+a list (as if the \fBlist\fR command had been used); this combined value
+is assigned to the local variable \fBargs\fR.
+.PP
+When \fIbody\fR is being executed, variable names normally refer to
+local variables, which are created automatically when referenced and
+deleted when the procedure returns.  One local variable is automatically
+created for each of the procedure's arguments.
+Global variables can only be accessed by invoking
+the \fBglobal\fR command or the \fBupvar\fR command.
+Namespace variables can only be accessed by invoking
+the \fBvariable\fR command or the \fBupvar\fR command.
+.PP
+The \fBproc\fR command returns an empty string.  When a procedure is
+invoked, the procedure's return value is the value specified in a
+\fBreturn\fR command.  If the procedure doesn't execute an explicit
+\fBreturn\fR, then its return value is the value of the last command
+executed in the procedure's body.
+If an error occurs while executing the procedure
+body, then the procedure-as-a-whole will return that same error.

+puts \- Write to a channel
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fBputs \fR?\fB\-nonewline\fR? ?\fIchannelId\fR? \fIstring\fR
+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+Writes the characters given by \fIstring\fR to the channel given
+by \fIchannelId\fR.
+\fIChannelId\fR must be a channel identifier such as returned from a
+previous invocation of \fBopen\fR or \fBsocket\fR. It must have been opened
+for output. If no \fIchannelId\fR is specified then it defaults to
+\fBstdout\fR. \fBPuts\fR normally outputs a newline character after
+\fIstring\fR, but this feature may be suppressed by specifying the
+\fB\-nonewline\fR switch.
+.PP
+Newline characters in the output are translated by \fBputs\fR to
+platform-specific end-of-line sequences according to the current
+value of the \fB\-translation\fR option for the channel (for example,
+on PCs newlines are normally replaced with carriage-return-linefeed
+sequences;  on Macintoshes newlines are normally replaced with
+carriage-returns).
+See the \fBfconfigure\fR manual entry for a discussion of end-of-line
+translations.
+.PP
+Tcl buffers output internally, so characters written with \fBputs\fR
+may not appear immediately on the output file or device;  Tcl will
+normally delay output until the buffer is full or the channel is
+closed.
+You can force output to appear immediately with the \fBflush\fR
+command.
+.PP
+When the output buffer fills up, the \fBputs\fR command will normally
+block until all the buffered data has been accepted for output by the
+operating system.
+If \fIchannelId\fR is in nonblocking mode then the \fBputs\fR command
+will not block even if the operating system cannot accept the data.
+Instead, Tcl continues to buffer the data and writes it in the
+background as fast as the underlying file or device can accept it.
+The application must use the Tcl event loop for nonblocking output
+to work;  otherwise Tcl never finds out that the file or device is
+ready for more output data.
+It is possible for an arbitrarily large amount of data to be
+buffered for a channel in nonblocking mode, which could consume a
+large amount of memory.
+To avoid wasting memory, nonblocking I/O should normally
+be used in an event-driven fashion with the \fBfileevent\fR command
+(don't invoke \fBputs\fR unless you have recently been notified
+via a file event that the channel is ready for more output data).

+.PP
+In the first form, the \fBread\fR command reads all of the data from
+\fIchannelId\fR up to the end of the file.
+If the \fB\-nonewline\fR switch is specified then the last character
+of the file is discarded if it is a newline.

+there are fewer than \fInumBytes\fR left in the file;  in this case
+all the remaining bytes are returned.
+.PP
+If \fIchannelId\fR is in nonblocking mode, the command may not read
+as many bytes as requested:  once all available input has been read,
+the command will return the data that is available rather than blocking
+for more input.
+The \fB\-nonewline\fR switch is ignored if the command returns
+before reaching the end of the file.
+.PP
+\fBRead\fR translates end-of-line sequences in the input into

+Determines whether the regular expression \fIexp\fR matches part or

+.LP
+If additional arguments are specified after \fIstring\fR then they

+information about which part(s) of \fIstring\fR matched \fIexp\fR.
+\fIMatchVar\fR will be set to the range of \fIstring\fR that
+matched all of \fIexp\fR.  The first \fIsubMatchVar\fR will contain
+the characters in \fIstring\fR that matched the leftmost parenthesized

+subexpressions within \fIexp\fR, or if a particular subexpression
+in \fIexp\fR doesn't match the string (e.g. because it was in a
+portion of the expression that wasn't matched), then the corresponding
+\fIsubMatchVar\fR will be set to ``\fB\-1 \-1\fR'' if \fB\-indices\fR
+has been specified or to an empty string otherwise.
+
+.SH "REGULAR EXPRESSIONS"
+.PP
+Regular expressions are implemented using Henry Spencer's package
+(thanks, Henry!),
+and much of the description of regular expressions below is copied verbatim
+from his manual entry.
+.PP
+A regular expression is zero or more \fIbranches\fR, separated by ``|''.
+It matches anything that matches one of the branches.
+.PP
+A branch is zero or more \fIpieces\fR, concatenated.
+It matches a match for the first, followed by a match for the second, etc.
+.PP
+A piece is an \fIatom\fR possibly followed by ``*'', ``+'', or ``?''.
+An atom followed by ``*'' matches a sequence of 0 or more matches of the atom.
+An atom followed by ``+'' matches a sequence of 1 or more matches of the atom.
+An atom followed by ``?'' matches a match of the atom, or the null string.
+.PP
+An atom is a regular expression in parentheses (matching a match for the
+regular expression), a \fIrange\fR (see below), ``.''
+(matching any single character), ``^'' (matching the null string at the
+beginning of the input string), ``$'' (matching the null string at the
+end of the input string), a ``\e'' followed by a single character (matching
+that character), or a single character with no other significance
+(matching that character).
+.PP
+A \fIrange\fR is a sequence of characters enclosed in ``[]''.
+It normally matches any single character from the sequence.
+If the sequence begins with ``^'',
+it matches any single character \fInot\fR from the rest of the sequence.
+If two characters in the sequence are separated by ``\-'', this is shorthand
+for the full list of ASCII characters between them
+(e.g. ``[0-9]'' matches any decimal digit).
+To include a literal ``]'' in the sequence, make it the first character
+(following a possible ``^'').
+To include a literal ``\-'', make it the first or last character.
+
+.SH "CHOOSING AMONG ALTERNATIVE MATCHES"
+.PP
+In general there may be more than one way to match a regular expression
+to an input string.  For example, consider the command
+.CS
+\fBregexp  (a*)b*  aabaaabb  x  y\fR
+.CE
+Considering only the rules given so far, \fBx\fR and \fBy\fR could
+end up with the values \fBaabb\fR and \fBaa\fR, \fBaaab\fR and \fBaaa\fR,
+\fBab\fR and \fBa\fR, or any of several other combinations.
+To resolve this potential ambiguity \fBregexp\fR chooses among
+alternatives using the rule ``first then longest''.
+In other words, it considers the possible matches in order working
+from left to right across the input string and the pattern, and it
+attempts to match longer pieces of the input string before shorter
+ones.  More specifically, the following rules apply in decreasing
+order of priority:
+.IP [1]
+If a regular expression could match two different parts of an input string
+then it will match the one that begins earliest.
+.IP [2]
+If a regular expression contains \fB|\fR operators then the leftmost
+matching sub-expression is chosen.
+.IP [3]
+In \fB*\fR, \fB+\fR, and \fB?\fR constructs, longer matches are chosen
+in preference to shorter ones.
+.IP [4]
+In sequences of expression components the components are considered
+from left to right.
+.LP
+In the example from above, \fB(a*)b*\fR matches \fBaab\fR:  the \fB(a*)\fR
+portion of the pattern is matched first and it consumes the leading
+\fBaa\fR; then the \fBb*\fR portion of the pattern consumes the
+next \fBb\fR.  Or, consider the following example:
+.CS
+\fBregexp  (ab|a)(b*)c  abc  x  y  z\fR
+.CE
+After this command \fBx\fR will be \fBabc\fR, \fBy\fR will be
+\fBab\fR, and \fBz\fR will be an empty string.
+Rule 4 specifies that \fB(ab|a)\fR gets first shot at the input
+string and Rule 2 specifies that the \fBab\fR sub-expression
+is checked before the \fBa\fR sub-expression.
+Thus the \fBb\fR has already been claimed before the \fB(b*)\fR
+component is checked and \fB(b*)\fR must match an empty string.

+\fBregistry\fR Tcl command.  This command is only supported on the
+Windows platform.  Warning: this command should be used with caution
+as a corrupted registry can leave your system in an unusable state.
+.PP
+\fIKeyName\fR is the name of a registry key.  Registry keys must be
+one of the following forms:
+.IP
+\fB\e\e\fIhostname\fB\e\fIrootname\fB\e\fIkeypath\fR
+.IP
+\fIrootname\fB\e\fIkeypath\fR
+.IP
+\fIrootname\fR
+.PP
+\fIHostname\fR specifies the name of any valid Windows
+host that exports its registry.  The \fIrootname\fR component must be
+one of \fBHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\fR, \fBHKEY_USERS\fR,
+\fBHKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\fR, \fBHKEY_CURRENT_USER\fR, or
+\fBHKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG\fR.  The \fIkeypath\fR can be one or more
+registry key names separated by backslash (\fB\e\fR) characters.
+.PP
+\fIOption\fR indicates what to do with the registry key name.  Any
+unique abbreviation for \fIoption\fR is acceptable.  The valid options
+are:
+.TP
+\fBregistry delete \fIkeyName\fR ?\fIvalueName\fR?
+.
+If the optional \fIvalueName\fR argument is present, the specified
+value under \fIkeyName\fR will be deleted from the registry.  If the
+optional \fIvalueName\fR is omitted, the specified key and any subkeys
+or values beneath it in the registry heirarchy will be deleted.  If
+the key could not be deleted then an error is generated.  If the key
+did not exist, the command has no effect.
+.TP
+\fBregistry get \fIkeyName valueName\fR
+.
+Returns the data associated with the value \fIvalueName\fR under the key
+\fIkeyName\fR.  If either the key or the value does not exist, then an
+error is generated.  For more details on the format of the returned
+data, see SUPPORTED TYPES, below.
+.TP
+\fBregistry keys \fIkeyName\fR ?\fIpattern\fR?
+.
+If \fIpattern\fR isn't specified, returns a list of names of all the
+subkeys of \fIkeyName\fR.  If \fIpattern\fR is specified, only those
+names matching \fIpattern\fR are returned.  Matching is determined
+using the same rules as for \fBstring\fR \fBmatch\fR.  If the
+specified \fIkeyName\fR does not exist, then an error is generated.
+.TP
+\fBregistry set \fIkeyName\fR ?\fIvalueName data \fR?\fItype\fR??
+.
+If \fIvalueName\fR isn't specified, creates the key \fIkeyName\fR if
+it doesn't already exist.  If \fIvalueName\fR is specified, creates
+the key \fIkeyName\fR and value \fIvalueName\fR if necessary.  The
+contents of \fIvalueName\fR are set to \fIdata\fR with the type
+indicated by \fItype\fR.  If \fItype\fR isn't specified, the type
+\fBsz\fR is assumed.  For more details on the data and type arguments,
+see SUPPORTED TYPES below.
+.TP
+\fBregistry type \fIkeyName valueName\fR
+.
+Returns the type of the value \fIvalueName\fR in the key
+\fIkeyName\fR.  For more information on the possible types, see
+SUPPORTED TYPES, below.
+.TP
+\fBregistry values \fIkeyName\fR ?\fIpattern\fR?
+.
+If \fIpattern\fR isn't specified, returns a list of names of all the
+values of \fIkeyName\fR.  If \fIpattern\fR is specified, only those
+names matching \fIpattern\fR are returned.  Matching is determined
+using the same rules as for \fBstring\fR \fBmatch\fR.
+
+.SH "SUPPORTED TYPES"
+Each value under a key in the registry contains some data of a
+particular type in a type-specific representation.  The \fBregistry\fR
+command converts between this internal representation and one that can
+be manipulated by Tcl scripts.  In most cases, the data is simply
+returned as a Tcl string.  The type indicates the intended use for the
+data, but does not actually change the representation.  For some
+types, the \fBregistry\fR command returns the data in a different form to
+make it easier to manipulate.  The following types are recognized by the
+registry command:
+.TP 17
+\fBbinary\fR
+.
+The registry value contains arbitrary binary data.  The data is represented
+exactly in Tcl, including any embedded nulls.
+Tcl 
+.TP
+\fBnone\fR
+.
+The registry value contains arbitrary binary data with no defined
+type.  The data is represented exactly in Tcl, including any embedded
+nulls.
+.TP
+\fBsz\fR
+.
+The registry value contains a null-terminated string.  The data is 
+represented in Tcl as a string.
+.TP
+\fBexpand_sz\fR
+.
+The registry value contains a null-terminated string that contains
+unexpanded references to environment variables in the normal Windows
+style (for example, "%PATH%").  The data is represented in Tcl as a
+string.
+.TP
+\fBdword\fR
+.
+The registry value contains a little-endian 32-bit number.  The data is
+represented in Tcl as a decimal string.
+.TP
+\fBdword_big_endian\fR
+.
+The registry value contains a big-endian 32-bit number.  The data is
+represented in Tcl as a decimal string.
+.TP
+\fBlink\fR
+.
+The registry value contains a symbolic link.  The data is represented
+exactly in Tcl, including any embedded nulls.
+.TP
+\fBmulti_sz\fR
+.
+The registry value contains an array of null-terminated strings.  The
+data is represented in Tcl as a list of strings.
+.TP
+\fBresource_list\fR
+.
+The registry value contains a device-driver resource list.  The data
+is represented exactly in Tcl, including any embedded nulls.
+.PP
+In addition to the symbolically named types listed above, unknown
+types are identified using a 32-bit integer that corresponds to the
+type code returned by the system interfaces.  In this case, the data
+is represented exactly in Tcl, including any embedded nulls.

+.SH NAME
+regsub \- Perform substitutions based on regular expression pattern matching
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fBregsub \fR?\fIswitches\fR? \fIexp string subSpec varName\fR
+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+This command matches the regular expression \fIexp\fR against
+\fIstring\fR,
+and it copies \fIstring\fR to the variable whose name is
+given by \fIvarName\fR.
+If there is a match, then while copying \fIstring\fR to \fIvarName\fR
+the portion of \fIstring\fR that
+matched \fIexp\fR is replaced with \fIsubSpec\fR.
+If \fIsubSpec\fR contains a ``&'' or ``\e0'', then it is replaced
+in the substitution with the portion of \fIstring\fR that
+matched \fIexp\fR.
+If \fIsubSpec\fR contains a ``\e\fIn\fR'', where \fIn\fR is a digit
+between 1 and 9, then it is replaced in the substitution with
+the portion of \fIstring\fR that matched the \fIn\fR-th
+parenthesized subexpression of \fIexp\fR.
+Additional backslashes may be used in \fIsubSpec\fR to prevent special
+interpretation of ``&'' or ``\e0'' or ``\e\fIn\fR'' or
+backslash.
+The use of backslashes in \fIsubSpec\fR tends to interact badly
+with the Tcl parser's use of backslashes, so it's generally
+safest to enclose \fIsubSpec\fR in braces if it includes
+backslashes.
+.LP
+If the initial arguments to \fBregexp\fR start with \fB\-\fR then
+they are treated as switches.  The following switches are
+currently supported:
+.TP 10
+\fB\-all\fR
+All ranges in \fIstring\fR that match \fIexp\fR are found and
+substitution is performed for each of these ranges.
+Without this switch only the first
+matching range is found and substituted.
+If \fB\-all\fR is specified, then ``&'' and ``\e\fIn\fR''
+sequences are handled for each substitution using the information
+from the corresponding match.
+.TP 10
+\fB\-nocase\fR
+Upper-case characters in \fIstring\fR will be converted to lower-case
+before matching against \fIexp\fR;  however, substitutions specified
+by \fIsubSpec\fR use the original unconverted form of \fIstring\fR.
+.TP 10
+\fB\-\|\-\fR
+Marks the end of switches.  The argument following this one will
+be treated as \fIexp\fR even if it starts with a \fB\-\fR.
+.PP
+The command returns a count of the number of matching ranges that
+were found and replaced.
+See the manual entry for \fBregexp\fR for details on the interpretation
+of regular expressions.
+

+.SH NAME
+resource \- Manipulate Macintosh resources
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fBresource \fIoption\fR ?\fIarg arg ...\fR?
+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+The \fBresource\fR command provides some generic operations for
+dealing with Macintosh resources.  This command is only supported on
+the Macintosh platform.  Each Macintosh file consists of two
+\fIforks\fR: a \fIdata\fR fork and a \fIresource\fR fork.  You use the
+normal open, puts, close, etc. commands to manipulate the data fork.
+You must use this command, however, to interact with the resource
+fork.  \fIOption\fR indicates what resource command to perform.  Any
+unique abbreviation for \fIoption\fR is acceptable.  The valid options
+are:
+.TP
+\fBresource close \fIrsrcRef\fR
+Closes the given resource reference (obtained from \fBresource
+open\fR).  Resources from that resource file will no longer be
+available.
+.TP
+\fBresource delete\fR ?\fIoptions\fR? \fIresourceType\fR
+This command will delete the resource specified by \fIoptions\fR and
+type \fIresourceType\fR (see RESOURCE TYPES below).  The options
+give you several ways to specify the resource to be deleted.
+.RS
+.TP
+\fB\-id\fR \fIresourceId\fR
+If the \fB-id\fR option is given the id \fIresourceId\fR (see RESOURCE
+IDS below) is used to specify the resource to be deleted.  The id must 
+be a number - to specify a name use the \fB\-name\fR option.
+.TP
+\fB\-name\fR \fIresourceName\fR
+If \fB-name\fR is specified, the resource named
+\fIresourceName\fR will be deleted.  If the \fB-id\fR is also
+provided, then there must be a resource with BOTH this name and
+this id.  If no name is provided, then the id will be used regardless
+of the name of the actual resource.
+.TP
+\fB\-file\fR \fIresourceRef\fR
+If the \fB-file\fR option is specified then the resource will be
+deleted from the file pointed to by \fIresourceRef\fR.  Otherwise the
+first resource with the given \fIresourceName\fR and or
+\fIresourceId\fR which is found on the resource file path will be 
+deleted.  To inspect the file path, use the \fIresource files\fB command.
+.RE
+.TP
+\fBresource files ?\fIresourceRef\fR?
+If \fIresourceRef\fRis not provided, this command returns a Tcl list
+of the resource references for all the currently open resource files.
+The list is in the normal Macintosh search order for resources.  If 
+\fIresourceRef\fR is specified, the command will
+return the path to the file whose resource fork is represented by that
+token.
+.TP
+\fBresource list \fIresourceType\fR ?\fIresourceRef\fR?
+List all of the resources ids of type \fIresourceType\fR (see RESOURCE
+TYPES below).  If \fIresourceRef\fR is specified then the command will
+limit the search to that particular resource file.  Otherwise, all
+resource files currently opened by the application will be searched.
+A Tcl list of either the resource name's or resource id's of the found
+resources will be returned.  See the RESOURCE IDS section below for
+more details about what a resource id is.
+.TP
+\fBresource open \fIfileName\fR ?\fIpermissions\fR?
+Open the resource for the file \fIfileName\fR.  Standard file
+permissions may also be specified (see the manual entry for \fBopen\fR
+for details).  A resource reference (\fIresourceRef\fR) is returned
+that can be used by the other resource commands.  An error can occur
+if the file doesn't exist or the file does not have a resource fork.
+However, if you open the file with write permissions the file and/or
+resource fork will be created instead of generating an error.
+.TP
+\fBresource read \fIresourceType\fR \fIresourceId\fR ?\fIresourceRef\fR?
+Read the entire resource of type \fIresourceType\fR (see RESOURCE
+TYPES below) and the name or id of \fIresourceId\fR (see RESOURCE IDS
+below) into memory and return the result.  If \fIresourceRef\fR is
+specified we limit our search to that resource file, otherwise we
+search all open resource forks in the application.  It is important to
+note that most Macintosh resource use a binary format and the data
+returned from this command may have embedded NULLs or other non-ASCII
+data.
+.TP
+\fBresource types ?\fIresourceRef\fR?
+This command returns a Tcl list of all resource types (see RESOURCE
+TYPES below) found in the resource file pointed to by
+\fIresourceRef\fR.  If \fIresourceRef\fR is not specified it will
+return all the resource types found in every resource file currently
+opened by the application.
+.TP
+\fBresource write\fR ?\fIoptions\fR? \fIresourceType\fR \fIdata\fR
+This command will write the passed in \fIdata\fR as a new resource of
+type \fIresourceType\fR (see RESOURCE TYPES below).  Several options
+are available that describe where and how the resource is stored.
+.RS
+.TP
+\fB\-id\fR \fIresourceId\fR
+If the \fB-id\fR option is given the id \fIresourceId\fR (see RESOURCE
+IDS below) is used for the new resource, otherwise a unique id will be
+generated that will not conflict with any existing resource.  However,
+the id must be a number - to specify a name use the \fB\-name\fR option.
+.TP
+\fB\-name\fR \fIresourceName\fR
+If \fB-name\fR is specified the resource will be named
+\fIresourceName\fR, otherwise it will have the empty string as the
+name.
+.TP
+\fB\-file\fR \fIresourceRef\fR
+If the \fB-file\fR option is specified then the resource will be
+written in the file pointed to by \fIresourceRef\fR, otherwise the
+most resently open resource will be used.
+.TP
+\fB\-force\fR
+If the target resource already exists, then by default Tcl will not
+overwrite it, but raise an error instead.  Use the -force flag to
+force overwriting the extant resource.
+.RE
+
+.SH "RESOURCE TYPES"
+Resource types are defined as a four character string that is then
+mapped to an underlying id.  For example, \fBTEXT\fR refers to the
+Macintosh resource type for text.  The type \fBSTR#\fR is a list of
+counted strings.  All Macintosh resources must be of some type.  See
+Macintosh documentation for a more complete list of resource types
+that are commonly used.
+
+.SH "RESOURCE IDS"
+For this command the notion of a resource id actually refers to two
+ideas in Macintosh resources.  Every place you can use a resource Id
+you can use either the resource name or a resource number.  Names are
+always searched or returned in preference to numbers.  For example,
+the \fBresource list\fR command will return names if they exist or
+numbers if the name is NULL.
+
+.SH "SEE ALSO"
+open
+
+.SH "PORTABILITY ISSUES"
+The resource command is only available on Macintosh.

+\fBreturn \fR?\fB\-code \fIcode\fR? ?\fB\-errorinfo \fIinfo\fR? ?\fB\-errorcode\fI code\fR? ?\fIstring\fR?
+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+Return immediately from the current procedure
+(or top-level command or \fBsource\fR command),
+with \fIstring\fR as the return value.  If \fIstring\fR is not specified then
+an empty string will be returned as result.
+
+.SH "EXCEPTIONAL RETURNS"
+.PP
+In the usual case where the \fB\-code\fR option isn't
+specified the procedure will return normally (its completion
+code will be TCL_OK).
+However, the \fB\-code\fR option may be used to generate an
+exceptional return from the procedure.
+\fICode\fR may have any of the following values:
+.TP 10
+\fBok\fR
+Normal return:  same as if the option is omitted.
+.TP 10
+\fBerror\fR
+Error return: same as if the \fBerror\fR command were used to
+terminate the procedure, except for handling of \fBerrorInfo\fR
+and \fBerrorCode\fR variables (see below).
+.TP 10
+\fBreturn\fR
+The current procedure will return with a completion code of
+TCL_RETURN, so that the procedure that invoked it will return
+also.
+.TP 10
+\fBbreak\fR
+The current procedure will return with a completion code of
+TCL_BREAK, which will terminate the innermost nested loop in
+the code that invoked the current procedure.
+.TP 10
+\fBcontinue\fR
+The current procedure will return with a completion code of
+TCL_CONTINUE, which will terminate the current iteration of
+the innermost nested loop in the code that invoked the current
+procedure.
+.TP 10
+\fIvalue\fR
+\fIValue\fR must be an integer;  it will be returned as the
+completion code for the current procedure.
+.LP
+The \fB\-code\fR option is rarely used.
+It is provided so that procedures that implement
+new control structures can reflect exceptional conditions back to
+their callers.
+.PP
+Two additional options, \fB\-errorinfo\fR and \fB\-errorcode\fR,
+may be used to provide additional information during error
+returns.
+These options are ignored unless \fIcode\fR is \fBerror\fR.
+.PP
+The \fB\-errorinfo\fR option specifies an initial stack
+trace for the \fBerrorInfo\fR variable;  if it is not specified then
+the stack trace left in \fBerrorInfo\fR will include the call to
+the procedure and higher levels on the stack but it will not include
+any information about the context of the error within the procedure.
+Typically the \fIinfo\fR value is supplied from the value left
+in \fBerrorInfo\fR after a \fBcatch\fR command trapped an error within
+the procedure.
+.PP
+If the \fB\-errorcode\fR option is specified then \fIcode\fR provides
+a value for the \fBerrorCode\fR variable.
+If the option is not specified then \fBerrorCode\fR will
+default to \fBNONE\fR.

+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Safe Tcl is a mechanism for executing untrusted Tcl scripts
+safely and for providing mediated access by such scripts to
+potentially dangerous functionality.
+.PP
+The Safe Base ensures that untrusted Tcl scripts cannot harm the
+hosting application.
+The Safe Base prevents integrity and privacy attacks. Untrusted Tcl
+scripts are prevented from corrupting the state of the hosting
+application or computer. Untrusted scripts are also prevented from
+disclosing information stored on the hosting computer or in the
+hosting application to any party.
+.PP
+The Safe Base allows a master interpreter to create safe, restricted
+interpreters that contain a set of predefined aliases for the \fBsource\fR,
+\fBload\fR, \fBfile\fR and \fBexit\fR commands and
+are able to use the auto-loading and package mechanisms.
+.PP
+No knowledge of the file system structure is leaked to the
+safe interpreter, because it has access only to a virtualized path
+containing tokens. When the safe interpreter requests to source a file, it
+uses the token in the virtual path as part of the file name to source; the
+master interpreter transparently 
+translates the token into a real directory name and executes the 
+requested operation (see the section \fBSECURITY\fR below for details).
+Different levels of security can be selected by using the optional flags
+of the commands described below.
+.PP
+All commands provided in the master interpreter by the Safe Base reside in
+the \fBsafe\fR namespace:
+
+.SH COMMANDS
+The following commands are provided in the master interpreter:
+.TP
+\fB::safe::interpCreate\fR ?\fIslave\fR? ?\fIoptions...\fR?
+Creates a safe interpreter, installs the aliases described in the section
+\fBALIASES\fR and initializes the auto-loading and package mechanism as
+specified by the supplied \fBoptions\fR.
+See the \fBOPTIONS\fR section below for a description of the
+optional arguments.
+If the \fIslave\fR argument is omitted, a name will be generated.
+\fB::safe::interpCreate\fR always returns the interpreter name.
+.TP
+\fB::safe::interpInit\fR \fIslave\fR ?\fIoptions...\fR?
+This command is similar to \fBinterpCreate\fR except it that does not
+create the safe interpreter. \fIslave\fR must have been created by some
+other means, like \fBinterp create \-safe\fR.
+.TP
+\fB::safe::interpConfigure\fR \fIslave\fR ?\fIoptions...\fR?
+If no \fIoptions\fR are given, returns the settings for all options for the
+named safe interpreter as a list of options and their current values
+for that \fIslave\fR. 
+If a single additional argument is provided,
+it will return a list of 2 elements \fIname\fR and \fIvalue\fR where
+\fIname\fR is the full name of that option and \fIvalue\fR the current value
+for that option and the \fIslave\fR.
+If more than two additional arguments are provided, it will reconfigure the
+safe interpreter and change each and only the provided options.
+See the section on \fBOPTIONS\fR below for options description.
+Example of use:
+.RS
+.CS
+# Create a new interp with the same configuration as "$i0" :
+set i1 [eval safe::interpCreate [safe::interpConfigure $i0]]
+# Get the current deleteHook
+set dh [safe::interpConfigure $i0  \-del]
+# Change (only) the statics loading ok attribute of an interp
+# and its deleteHook (leaving the rest unchanged) :
+safe::interpConfigure $i0  \-delete {foo bar} \-statics 0 ;
+.CE
+.RE
+.TP
+\fB::safe::interpDelete\fR \fIslave\fR
+Deletes the safe interpreter and cleans up the corresponding  
+master interpreter data structures.
+If a \fIdeleteHook\fR script was specified for this interpreter it is
+evaluated before the interpreter is deleted, with the name of the
+interpreter as an additional argument.
+.TP
+\fB::safe::interpFindInAccessPath\fR \fIslave\fR \fIdirectory\fR
+This command finds and returns the token for the real directory
+\fIdirectory\fR in the safe interpreter's current virtual access path.
+It generates an error if the directory is not found.
+Example of use:
+.RS
+.CS
+$slave eval [list set tk_library [::safe::interpFindInAccessPath $name $tk_library]]
+.CE
+.RE
+.TP
+\fB::safe::interpAddToAccessPath\fR \fIslave\fR \fIdirectory\fR
+This command adds \fIdirectory\fR to the virtual path maintained for the
+safe interpreter in the master, and returns the token that can be used in
+the safe interpreter to obtain access to files in that directory.
+If the directory is already in the virtual path, it only returns the token
+without adding the directory to the virtual path again.
+Example of use:
+.RS
+.CS
+$slave eval [list set tk_library [::safe::interpAddToAccessPath $name $tk_library]]
+.CE
+.RE
+.TP
+\fB::safe::setLogCmd\fR ?\fIcmd arg...\fR?
+This command installs a script that will be called when interesting
+life cycle events occur for a safe interpreter.
+When called with no arguments, it returns the currently installed script.
+When called with one argument, an empty string, the currently installed
+script is removed and logging is turned off.
+The script will be invoked with one additional argument, a string
+describing the event of interest.
+The main purpose is to help in debugging safe interpreters.
+Using this facility you can get complete error messages while the safe
+interpreter gets only generic error messages.
+This prevents a safe interpreter from seeing messages about failures
+and other events that might contain sensitive information such as real
+directory names.
+.RS
+Example of use:
+.CS
+::safe::setLogCmd puts stderr
+.CE
+Below is the output of a sample session in which a safe interpreter
+attempted to source a file not found in its virtual access path.
+Note that the safe interpreter only received an error message saying that
+the file was not found:
+.CS
+NOTICE for slave interp10 : Created
+NOTICE for slave interp10 : Setting accessPath=(/foo/bar) staticsok=1 nestedok=0 deletehook=()
+NOTICE for slave interp10 : auto_path in interp10 has been set to {$p(:0:)}
+ERROR for slave interp10 : /foo/bar/init.tcl: no such file or directory
+.CE
+.RE
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+The following options are common to 
+\fB::safe::interpCreate\fR, \fB::safe::interpInit\fR, 
+and \fB::safe::interpConfigure\fR.
+Any option name can be abbreviated to its minimal 
+non-ambiguous name.
+Option names are not case sensitive.
+.TP 
+\fB\-accessPath\fR \fIdirectoryList\fR
+This option sets the list of directories from which the safe interpreter
+can \fBsource\fR and \fBload\fR files.
+If this option is not specified, or if it is given as the
+empty list, the safe interpreter will use the same directories as its
+master for auto-loading.
+See the section \fBSECURITY\fR below for more detail about virtual paths, 
+tokens and access control.
+.TP
+\fB\-statics\fR \fIboolean\fR
+This option specifies if the safe interpreter will be allowed
+to load statically linked packages (like \fBload {} Tk\fR).
+The default value is \fBtrue\fR : 
+safe interpreters are allowed to load statically linked packages.
+.TP
+\fB\-noStatics\fR
+This option is a convenience shortcut for \fB-statics false\fR and
+thus specifies that the safe interpreter will not be allowed
+to load statically linked packages.
+.TP
+\fB\-nested\fR \fIboolean\fR
+This option specifies if the safe interpreter will be allowed
+to load packages into its own sub-interpreters.
+The default value is \fBfalse\fR : 
+safe interpreters are not allowed to load packages into
+their own sub-interpreters.
+.TP
+\fB\-nestedLoadOk\fR
+This option is a convenience shortcut for \fB-nested true\fR and
+thus specifies the safe interpreter will be allowed
+to load packages into its own sub-interpreters.
+.TP 
+\fB\-deleteHook\fR \fIscript\fR
+When this option is given an non empty \fIscript\fR, it will be
+evaluated in the master with the name of
+the safe interpreter as an additional argument
+just before actually deleting the safe interpreter.
+Giving an empty value removes any currently installed deletion hook
+script for that safe interpreter.
+The default value (\fB{}\fR) is not to have any deletion call back.
+.SH ALIASES
+The following aliases are provided in a safe interpreter:
+.TP
+\fBsource\fR \fIfileName\fR
+The requested file, a Tcl source file, is sourced into the safe interpreter
+if it is found.
+The \fBsource\fR alias can only source files from directories in
+the virtual path for the safe interpreter. The \fBsource\fR alias requires
+the safe interpreter to
+use one of the token names in its virtual path to denote the directory in
+which the file to be sourced can be found.
+See the section on \fBSECURITY\fR for more discussion of restrictions on
+valid filenames.
+.TP
+\fBload\fR \fIfileName\fR
+The requested file, a shared object file, is dynamically loaded into the
+safe interpreter if it is found.
+The filename must contain a token name mentioned in the virtual path for
+the safe interpreter for it to be found successfully.
+Additionally, the shared object file must contain a safe entry point; see
+the manual page for the \fBload\fR command for more details.
+.TP
+\fBfile\fR ?\fIsubCmd args...\fR?
+The \fBfile\fR alias provides access to a safe subset of the subcommands of
+the \fBfile\fR command; it allows only \fBdirname\fR, \fBjoin\fR,
+\fBextension\fR, \fBroot\fR, \fBtail\fR, \fBpathname\fR and \fBsplit\fR
+subcommands. For more details on what these subcommands do see the manual
+page for the \fBfile\fR command.
+.TP
+\fBexit\fR
+The calling interpreter is deleted and its computation is stopped, but the
+Tcl process in which this interpreter exists is not terminated.
+
+.SH SECURITY
+The Safe Base does not attempt to completely prevent annoyance and
+denial of service attacks. These forms of attack prevent the
+application or user from temporarily using the computer to perform
+useful work, for example by consuming all available CPU time or
+all available screen real estate.
+These attacks, while aggravating, are deemed to be of lesser importance
+in general than integrity and privacy attacks that the Safe Base
+is to prevent.
+.PP
+The commands available in a safe interpreter, in addition to
+the safe set as defined in \fBinterp\fR manual page, are mediated aliases
+for \fBsource\fR, \fBload\fR, \fBexit\fR, and a safe subset of \fBfile\fR.
+The safe interpreter can also auto-load code and it can request that
+packages be loaded.
+.PP
+Because some of these commands access the local file system, there is a
+potential for information leakage about its directory structure.
+To prevent this, commands that take file names as arguments in a safe
+interpreter use tokens instead of the real directory names.
+These tokens are translated to the real directory name while a request to,
+e.g., source a file is mediated by the master interpreter.
+This virtual path system is maintained in the master interpreter for each safe
+interpreter created by \fB::safe::interpCreate\fR or initialized by
+\fB::safe::interpInit\fR and
+the path maps tokens accessible in the safe interpreter into real path
+names on the local file system thus preventing safe interpreters 
+from gaining knowledge about the
+structure of the file system of the host on which the interpreter is
+executing.
+The only valid file names arguments
+for the \fBsource\fR and \fBload\fR aliases provided to the slave
+are path in the form of 
+\fB[file join \fR\fItoken filename\fR\fB]\fR (ie, when using the
+native file path formats: \fItoken\fR\fB/\fR\fIfilename\fR
+on Unix, \fItoken\fR\fB\\\fIfilename\fR on Windows, 
+and \fItoken\fR\fB:\fR\fIfilename\fR on the Mac),
+where \fItoken\fR is representing one of the directories 
+of the \fIaccessPath\fR list and \fIfilename\fR is
+one file in that directory (no sub directories access are allowed).
+.PP
+When a token is used in a safe interpreter in a request to source or
+load a file, the token is checked and
+translated to a real path name and the file to be
+sourced or loaded is located on the file system.
+The safe interpreter never gains knowledge of the actual path name under
+which the file is stored on the file system.
+.PP
+To further prevent potential information leakage from sensitive files that
+are accidentally included in the set of files that can be sourced by a safe
+interpreter, the \fBsource\fR alias restricts access to files
+meeting the following constraints: the file name must
+fourteen characters or shorter, must not contain more than one dot ("\fB.\fR"),
+must end up with the extension \fB.tcl\fR or be called \fBtclIndex\fR.
+.PP
+Each element of the initial access path
+list will be assigned a token that will be set in
+the slave \fBauto_path\fR and the first element of that list will be set as
+the \fBtcl_library\fR for that slave.
+.PP
+If the access path argument is not given or is the empty list, 
+the default behavior is to let the slave access the same packages
+as the master has access to (Or to be more precise: 
+only packages written in Tcl (which by definition can't be dangerous
+as they run in the slave interpreter) and C extensions that
+provides a Safe_Init entry point). For that purpose, the master's 
+\fBauto_path\fR will be used to construct the slave access path. 
+In order that the slave successfully loads the Tcl library files
+(which includes the auto-loading mechanism itself) the \fBtcl_library\fR will be
+added or moved to the first position if necessary, in the 
+slave access path, so the slave
+\fBtcl_library\fR will be the same as the master's (its real
+path will still be invisible to the slave though). 
+In order that auto-loading works the same for the slave and
+the master in this by default case, the first-level
+sub directories of each directory in the master \fBauto_path\fR will
+also be added (if not already included) to the slave access path.
+You can always specify a more
+restrictive path for which sub directories will never be searched by 
+explicitly specifying your directory list with the \fB\-accessPath\fR flag
+instead of relying on this default mechanism.
+.PP
+When the \fIaccessPath\fR is changed after the first creation or
+initialization (ie through \fBinterpConfigure -accessPath \fR\fIlist\fR),
+an \fBauto_reset\fR is automatically evaluated in the safe interpreter
+to synchronize its \fBauto_index\fR with the new token list.

+.SH NAME
+scan \- Parse string using conversion specifiers in the style of sscanf
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fBscan \fIstring format varName \fR?\fIvarName ...\fR?
+.BE
+
+.SH INTRODUCTION
+.PP
+This command parses fields from an input string in the same fashion
+as the ANSI C \fBsscanf\fR procedure and returns a count of the number
+of conversions performed, or -1 if the end of the input string is
+reached before any conversions have been performed.
+\fIString\fR gives the input to be parsed and \fIformat\fR indicates
+how to parse it, using \fB%\fR conversion specifiers as in \fBsscanf\fR.
+Each \fIvarName\fR gives the name of a variable; when a field is
+scanned from \fIstring\fR the result is converted back into a string
+and assigned to the corresponding variable.
+
+.SH "DETAILS ON SCANNING"
+.PP
+\fBScan\fR operates by scanning \fIstring\fR and \fIformatString\fR together.
+If the next character in \fIformatString\fR is a blank or tab then it
+matches any number of white space characters in \fIstring\fR (including
+zero).
+Otherwise, if it isn't a \fB%\fR character then it 
+must match the next character of \fIstring\fR.
+When a \fB%\fR is encountered in \fIformatString\fR, it indicates
+the start of a conversion specifier.
+A conversion specifier contains three fields after the \fB%\fR:
+a \fB*\fR, which indicates that the converted value is to be discarded 
+instead of assigned to a variable; a number indicating a maximum field
+width; and a conversion character.
+All of these fields are optional except for the conversion character.
+.PP
+When \fBscan\fR finds a conversion specifier in \fIformatString\fR, it
+first skips any white-space characters in \fIstring\fR.
+Then it converts the next input characters according to the 
+conversion specifier and stores the result in the variable given
+by the next argument to \fBscan\fR.
+The following conversion characters are supported:
+.TP 10
+\fBd\fR
+The input field must be a decimal integer.
+It is read in and the value is stored in the variable as a decimal string.
+.TP 10
+\fBo\fR
+The input field must be an octal integer. It is read in and the 
+value is stored in the variable as a decimal string.
+.TP 10
+\fBx\fR
+The input field must be a hexadecimal integer. It is read in 
+and the value is stored in the variable as a decimal string.
+.TP 10
+\fBc\fR
+A single character is read in and its binary value is stored in 
+the variable as a decimal string.
+Initial white space is not skipped in this case, so the input
+field may be a white-space character.
+This conversion is different from the ANSI standard in that the
+input field always consists of a single character and no field
+width may be specified.
+.TP 10
+\fBs\fR
+The input field consists of all the characters up to the next 
+white-space character; the characters are copied to the variable.
+.TP 10
+\fBe\fR or \fBf\fR or \fBg\fR
+The input field must be a floating-point number consisting 
+of an optional sign, a string of decimal digits possibly
+containing a decimal point, and an optional exponent consisting 
+of an \fBe\fR or \fBE\fR followed by an optional sign and a string of 
+decimal digits.
+It is read in and stored in the variable as a floating-point string.
+.TP 10
+\fB[\fIchars\fB]\fR
+The input field consists of any number of characters in 
+\fIchars\fR.
+The matching string is stored in the variable.
+If the first character between the brackets is a \fB]\fR then
+it is treated as part of \fIchars\fR rather than the closing
+bracket for the set.
+.TP 10
+\fB[^\fIchars\fB]\fR
+The input field consists of any number of characters not in 
+\fIchars\fR.
+The matching string is stored in the variable.
+If the character immediately following the \fB^\fR is a \fB]\fR then it is 
+treated as part of the set rather than the closing bracket for 
+the set.
+.LP
+The number of characters read from the input for a conversion is the
+largest number that makes sense for that particular conversion (e.g.
+as many decimal digits as possible for \fB%d\fR, as 
+many octal digits as possible for \fB%o\fR, and so on).
+The input field for a given conversion terminates either when a
+white-space character is encountered or when the maximum field 
+width has been reached, whichever comes first.
+If a \fB*\fR is present in the conversion specifier 
+then no variable is assigned and the next scan argument is not consumed.
+
+.SH "DIFFERENCES FROM ANSI SSCANF"
+.PP
+The behavior of the \fBscan\fR command is the same as the behavior of
+the ANSI C \fBsscanf\fR procedure except for the following differences:
+.IP [1]
+\fB%p\fR and \fB%n\fR conversion specifiers are not currently
+supported.
+.IP [2]
+For \fB%c\fR conversions a single character value is
+converted to a decimal string, which is then assigned to the
+corresponding \fIvarName\fR;
+no field width may be specified for this conversion.
+.IP [3]
+The \fBl\fR, \fBh\fR, and \fBL\fR modifiers are ignored;  integer
+values are always converted as if there were no modifier present
+and real values are always converted as if the \fBl\fR modifier
+were present (i.e. type \fBdouble\fR is used for the internal
+representation).

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+Changes the current access position for \fIchannelId\fR.
+\fIChannelId\fR must be a channel identifier such as returned from a
+previous invocation of \fBopen\fR or \fBsocket\fR.
+The \fIoffset\fR and \fIorigin\fR
+arguments specify the position at which the next read or write will occur
+for \fIchannelId\fR. \fIOffset\fR must be an integer (which may be
+negative) and \fIorigin\fR must be one of the following:
+.TP 10
+\fBstart\fR
+The new access position will be \fIoffset\fR bytes from the start
+of the underlying file or device.
+.TP 10
+\fBcurrent\fR
+The new access position will be \fIoffset\fR bytes from the current
+access position; a negative \fIoffset\fR moves the access position
+backwards in the underlying file or device.
+.TP 10
+\fBend\fR
+The new access position will be \fIoffset\fR bytes from the end of
+the file or device.  A negative \fIoffset\fR places the access position
+before the end of file, and a positive \fIoffset\fR places the access
+position after the end of file.
+.LP
+The \fIorigin\fR argument defaults to \fBstart\fR.
+.PP
+The command flushes all buffered output for the channel before the command
+returns, even if the channel is in nonblocking mode.
+It also discards any buffered and unread input.
+This command returns an empty string.
+An error occurs if this command is applied to channels whose underlying
+file or device does not support seeking.

+\fBsocket\fR \fB\-server \fIcommand\fR ?\fIoptions\fR? \fIport\fR
+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+This command opens a network socket and returns a channel
+identifier that may be used in future invocations of commands like
+\fBread\fR, \fBputs\fR and \fBflush\fR.
+At present only the TCP network protocol is supported;  future
+releases may include support for additional protocols.
+The \fBsocket\fR command may be used to open either the client or
+server side of a connection, depending on whether the \fB\-server\fR
+switch is specified.
+
+.SH "CLIENT SOCKETS"
+.PP
+If the \fB\-server\fR option is not specified, then the client side of a
+connection is opened and the command returns a channel identifier
+that can be used for both reading and writing.
+\fIPort\fR and \fIhost\fR specify a port
+to connect to;  there must be a server accepting connections on
+this port.  \fIPort\fR is an integer port number and \fIhost\fR
+is either a domain-style name such as \fBwww.sunlabs.com\fR or
+a numerical IP address such as \fB127.0.0.1\fR.
+Use \fIlocalhost\fR to refer to the host on which the command is invoked.
+.PP
+The following options may also be present before \fIhost\fR
+to specify additional information about the connection:
+.TP
+\fB\-myaddr\fI addr\fR
+\fIAddr\fR gives the domain-style name or numerical IP address of
+the client-side network interface to use for the connection.
+This option may be useful if the client machine has multiple network
+interfaces.  If the option is omitted then the client-side interface
+will be chosen by the system software.
+.TP
+\fB\-myport\fI port\fR
+\fIPort\fR specifies an integer port number to use for the client's
+side of the connection.  If this option is omitted, the client's
+port number will be chosen at random by the system software.
+.TP
+\fB\-async\fR
+The \fB\-async\fR option will cause the client socket to be connected
+asynchronously. This means that the socket will be created immediately but
+may not yet be connected to the server, when the call to \fBsocket\fR
+returns. When a \fBgets\fR or \fBflush\fR is done on the socket before the
+connection attempt succeeds or fails, if the socket is in blocking mode, the
+operation will wait until the connection is completed or fails. If the
+socket is in nonblocking mode and a \fBgets\fR or \fBflush\fR is done on
+the socket before the connection attempt succeeds or fails, the operation
+returns immediately and \fBfblocked\fR on the socket returns 1.
+
+.SH "SERVER SOCKETS"
+.PP
+If the \fB\-server\fR option is specified then the new socket
+will be a server for the port given by \fIport\fR.
+Tcl will automatically accept connections to the given port.
+For each connection Tcl will create a new channel that may be used to
+communicate with the client.  Tcl then invokes \fIcommand\fR
+with three additional arguments: the name of the new channel, the
+address, in network address notation, of the client's host, and
+the client's port number.
+.PP
+The following additional option may also be specified before \fIhost\fR:
+.TP
+\fB\-myaddr\fI addr\fR
+\fIAddr\fR gives the domain-style name or numerical IP address of
+the server-side network interface to use for the connection.
+This option may be useful if the server machine has multiple network
+interfaces.  If the option is omitted then the server socket is bound
+to the special address INADDR_ANY so that it can accept connections from
+any interface.
+.PP
+Server channels cannot be used for input or output; their sole use is to
+accept new client connections. The channels created for each incoming
+client connection are opened for input and output. Closing the server
+channel shuts down the server so that no new connections will be
+accepted;  however, existing connections will be unaffected.
+.PP
+Server sockets depend on the Tcl event mechanism to find out when
+new connections are opened.  If the application doesn't enter the
+event loop, for example by invoking the \fBvwait\fR command or
+calling the C procedure \fBTcl_DoOneEvent\fR, then no connections
+will be accepted.
+
+.SH CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
+The \fBfconfigure\fR command can be used to query several readonly
+configuration options for socket channels:
+.TP
+\fB\-sockname\fR
+This option returns a list of three elements, the address, the host name
+and the port number for the socket. If the host name cannot be computed,
+the second element is identical to the address, the first element of the
+list.
+.TP
+\fB\-peername\fR
+This option is not supported by server sockets. For client and accepted
+sockets, this option returns a list of three elements; these are the
+address, the host name and the port to which the peer socket is connected
+or bound. If the host name cannot be computed, the second element of the
+list is identical to the address, its first element.

+.TP
+\fBstring index \fIstring charIndex\fR
+Returns the \fIcharIndex\fR'th character of the \fIstring\fR
+argument.  A \fIcharIndex\fR of 0 corresponds to the first
+character of the string.
+If \fIcharIndex\fR is less than 0 or greater than

+\fBstring length \fIstring\fR
+Returns a decimal string giving the number of characters in \fIstring\fR.
+.TP
+\fBstring match \fIpattern\fR \fIstring\fR
+See if \fIpattern\fR matches \fIstring\fR; return 1 if it does, 0
+if it doesn't.  Matching is done in a fashion similar to that
+used by the C-shell.  For the two strings to match, their contents
+must be identical except that the following special sequences
+may appear in \fIpattern\fR:

+Matches any sequence of characters in \fIstring\fR,
+including a null string.
+.IP \fB?\fR 10
+Matches any single character in \fIstring\fR.
+.IP \fB[\fIchars\fB]\fR 10
+Matches any character in the set given by \fIchars\fR.  If a sequence
+of the form
+\fIx\fB\-\fIy\fR appears in \fIchars\fR, then any character
+between \fIx\fR and \fIy\fR, inclusive, will match.
+.IP \fB\e\fIx\fR 10
+Matches the single character \fIx\fR.  This provides a way of
+avoiding the special interpretation of the characters
+\fB*?[]\e\fR in \fIpattern\fR.
+.RE
+.TP
+\fBstring range \fIstring first last\fR
+Returns a range of consecutive characters from \fIstring\fR, starting
+with the character whose index is \fIfirst\fR and ending with the
+character whose index is \fIlast\fR. An index of 0 refers to the
+first character of the string.  
+An index of \fBend\fR (or any
+abbreviation of it) refers to the last character of the string.
+If \fIfirst\fR is less than zero then it is treated as if it were zero, and
+if \fIlast\fR is greater than or equal to the length of the string then
+it is treated as if it were \fBend\fR.  If \fIfirst\fR is greater than
+\fIlast\fR then an empty string is returned.
+.TP
+\fBstring tolower \fIstring\fR
+Returns a value equal to \fIstring\fR except that all upper case
+letters have been converted to lower case.

+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+This command performs variable substitutions, command substitutions,
+and backslash substitutions on its \fIstring\fR argument and
+returns the fully-substituted result.
+The substitutions are performed in exactly the same way as for
+Tcl commands.
+As a result, the \fIstring\fR argument is actually substituted twice,
+once by the Tcl parser in the usual fashion for Tcl commands, and
+again by the \fIsubst\fR command.
+.PP
+If any of the \fB\-nobackslashes\fR, \fB\-nocommands\fR, or
+\fB\-novariables\fR are specified, then the corresponding substitutions
+are not performed.
+For example, if \fB\-nocommands\fR is specified, no command substitution
+is performed:  open and close brackets are treated as ordinary characters
+with no special interpretation.
+.PP
+Note: when it performs its substitutions, \fIsubst\fR does not
+give any special treatment to double quotes or curly braces.  For
+example, the script
+.CS
+\fBset a 44

+\fBswitch \fR?\fIoptions\fR?\fI string \fR{\fIpattern body \fR?\fIpattern body \fR...?}
+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+The \fBswitch\fR command matches its \fIstring\fR argument against each of
+the \fIpattern\fR arguments in order.
+As soon as it finds a \fIpattern\fR that matches \fIstring\fR it
+evaluates the following \fIbody\fR argument by passing it recursively
+to the Tcl interpreter and returns the result of that evaluation.
+If the last \fIpattern\fR argument is \fBdefault\fR then it matches
+anything.
+If no \fIpattern\fR argument
+matches \fIstring\fR and no default is given, then the \fBswitch\fR
+command returns an empty string.
+.PP
+If the initial arguments to \fBswitch\fR start with \fB\-\fR then
+they are treated as options.  The following options are
+currently supported:
+.TP 10
+\fB\-exact\fR
+Use exact matching when comparing \fIstring\fR to a pattern.  This
+is the default.
+.TP 10
+\fB\-glob\fR
+When matching \fIstring\fR to the patterns, use glob-style matching
+(i.e. the same as implemented by the \fBstring match\fR command).
+.TP 10
+\fB\-regexp\fR
+When matching \fIstring\fR to the patterns, use regular
+expression matching
+(i.e. the same as implemented by the \fBregexp\fR command).
+.TP 10
+\fB\-\|\-\fR
+Marks the end of options.  The argument following this one will
+be treated as \fIstring\fR even if it starts with a \fB\-\fR.
+.PP
+Two syntaxes are provided for the \fIpattern\fR and \fIbody\fR arguments.
+The first uses a separate argument for each of the patterns and commands;
+this form is convenient if substitutions are desired on some of the
+patterns or commands.
+The second form places all of the patterns and commands together into
+a single argument; the argument must have proper list structure, with
+the elements of the list being the patterns and commands.
+The second form makes it easy to construct multi-line switch commands,
+since the braces around the whole list make it unnecessary to include a
+backslash at the end of each line.
+Since the \fIpattern\fR arguments are in braces in the second form,
+no command or variable substitutions are performed on them;  this makes
+the behavior of the second form different than the first form in some
+cases.
+.PP
+If a \fIbody\fR is specified as ``\fB\-\fR'' it means that the \fIbody\fR
+for the next pattern should also be used as the body for this
+pattern (if the next pattern also has a body of ``\fB\-\fR''
+then the body after that is used, and so on).
+This feature makes it possible to share a single \fIbody\fR among
+several patterns.
+.PP
+Below are some examples of \fBswitch\fR commands:
+.CS
+\fBswitch\0abc\0a\0\-\0b\0{format 1}\0abc\0{format 2}\0default\0{format 3}\fR
+.CE
+will return \fB2\fR,

+		\-
+	b
+		{format 1}

+.SH NAME
+tclsh \- Simple shell containing Tcl interpreter
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fBtclsh\fR ?\fIfileName arg arg ...\fR?
+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+\fBTclsh\fR is a shell-like application that reads Tcl commands
+from its standard input or from a file and evaluates them.
+If invoked with no arguments then it runs interactively, reading
+Tcl commands from standard input and printing command results and
+error messages to standard output.
+It runs until the \fBexit\fR command is invoked or until it
+reaches end-of-file on its standard input.
+If there exists a file \fB.tclshrc\fR in the home directory of
+the user, \fBtclsh\fR evaluates the file as a Tcl script
+just before reading the first command from standard input.
+
+.SH "SCRIPT FILES"
+.PP
+If \fBtclsh\fR is invoked with arguments then the first argument
+is the name of a script file and any additional arguments
+are made available to the script as variables (see below).
+Instead of reading commands from standard input \fBtclsh\fR will
+read Tcl commands from the named file;  \fBtclsh\fR will exit
+when it reaches the end of the file.
+There is no automatic evaluation of \fB.tclshrc\fR in this
+case, but the script file can always \fBsource\fR it if desired.
+.PP
+If you create a Tcl script in a file whose first line is
+.CS
+\fB#!/usr/local/bin/tclsh\fR
+.CE
+then you can invoke the script file directly from your shell if
+you mark the file as executable.
+This assumes that \fBtclsh\fR has been installed in the default
+location in /usr/local/bin;  if it's installed somewhere else
+then you'll have to modify the above line to match.
+Many UNIX systems do not allow the \fB#!\fR line to exceed about
+30 characters in length, so be sure that the \fBtclsh\fR
+executable can be accessed with a short file name.
+.PP
+An even better approach is to start your script files with the
+following three lines:
+.CS
+\fB#!/bin/sh
+# the next line restarts using tclsh \e
+exec tclsh "$0" "$@"\fR
+.CE
+This approach has three advantages over the approach in the previous
+paragraph.  First, the location of the \fBtclsh\fR binary doesn't have
+to be hard-wired into the script:  it can be anywhere in your shell
+search path.  Second, it gets around the 30-character file name limit
+in the previous approach.
+Third, this approach will work even if \fBtclsh\fR is
+itself a shell script (this is done on some systems in order to
+handle multiple architectures or operating systems:  the \fBtclsh\fR
+script selects one of several binaries to run).  The three lines
+cause both \fBsh\fR and \fBtclsh\fR to process the script, but the
+\fBexec\fR is only executed by \fBsh\fR.
+\fBsh\fR processes the script first;  it treats the second
+line as a comment and executes the third line.
+The \fBexec\fR statement cause the shell to stop processing and
+instead to start up \fBtclsh\fR to reprocess the entire script.
+When \fBtclsh\fR starts up, it treats all three lines as comments,
+since the backslash at the end of the second line causes the third
+line to be treated as part of the comment on the second line.
+
+.SH "VARIABLES"
+.PP
+\fBTclsh\fR sets the following Tcl variables:
+.TP 15
+\fBargc\fR
+Contains a count of the number of \fIarg\fR arguments (0 if none),
+not including the name of the script file.
+.TP 15
+\fBargv\fR
+Contains a Tcl list whose elements are the \fIarg\fR arguments,
+in order, or an empty string if there are no \fIarg\fR arguments.
+.TP 15
+\fBargv0\fR
+Contains \fIfileName\fR if it was specified.
+Otherwise, contains the name by which \fBtclsh\fR was invoked.
+.TP 15
+\fBtcl_interactive\fR
+Contains 1 if \fBtclsh\fR is running interactively (no
+\fIfileName\fR was specified and standard input is a terminal-like
+device), 0 otherwise.
+
+.SH PROMPTS
+.PP
+When \fBtclsh\fR is invoked interactively it normally prompts for each
+command with ``\fB% \fR''.  You can change the prompt by setting the
+variables \fBtcl_prompt1\fR and \fBtcl_prompt2\fR.  If variable
+\fBtcl_prompt1\fR exists then it must consist of a Tcl script
+to output a prompt;  instead of outputting a prompt \fBtclsh\fR
+will evaluate the script in \fBtcl_prompt1\fR.
+The variable \fBtcl_prompt2\fR is used in a similar way when
+a newline is typed but the current command isn't yet complete;
+if \fBtcl_prompt2\fR isn't set then no prompt is output for
+incomplete commands.

+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+The following global variables are created and managed automatically
+by the Tcl library.  Except where noted below, these variables should
+normally be treated as read-only by application-specific code and by users.
+.TP
+\fBenv\fR
+This variable is maintained by Tcl as an array
+whose elements are the environment variables for the process.
+Reading an element will return the value of the corresponding
+environment variable.
+Setting an element of the array will modify the corresponding
+environment variable or create a new one if it doesn't already
+exist.
+Unsetting an element of \fBenv\fR will remove the corresponding
+environment variable.
+Changes to the \fBenv\fR array will affect the environment
+passed to children by commands like \fBexec\fR.
+If the entire \fBenv\fR array is unset then Tcl will stop
+monitoring \fBenv\fR accesses and will not update environment
+variables.
+.RS
+.VS 8.0 
+Under Windows, the environment variables PATH and COMSPEC in any
+capitalization are converted automatically to upper case.  For instance, the
+PATH variable could be exported by the operating system as ``path'',
+``Path'', ``PaTh'', etc., causing otherwise simple Tcl code to have to
+support many special cases.  All other environment variables inherited by
+Tcl are left unmodified.
+.VE
+.RE
+.RS
+On the Macintosh, the environment variable is constructed by Tcl as no
+global environment variable exists.  The environment variables that
+are created for Tcl include:
+.TP
+\fBLOGIN\fR
+This holds the Chooser name of the Macintosh.
+.TP
+\fBUSER\fR
+This also holds the Chooser name of the Macintosh.
+.TP
+\fBSYS_FOLDER\fR
+The path to the system directory.
+.TP
+\fBAPPLE_M_FOLDER\fR
+The path to the Apple Menu directory.
+.TP
+\fBCP_FOLDER\fR
+The path to the control panels directory.
+.TP
+\fBDESK_FOLDER\fR
+The path to the desk top directory.
+.TP
+\fBEXT_FOLDER\fR
+The path to the system extensions directory.
+.TP
+\fBPREF_FOLDER\fR
+The path to the preferences directory.
+.TP
+\fBPRINT_MON_FOLDER\fR
+The path to the print monitor directory.
+.TP
+\fBSHARED_TRASH_FOLDER\fR
+The path to the network trash directory.
+.TP
+\fBTRASH_FOLDER\fR
+The path to the trash directory.
+.TP
+\fBSTART_UP_FOLDER\fR
+The path to the start up directory.
+.TP
+\fBPWD\fR
+The path to the application's default directory.
+.PP
+You can also create your own environment variables for the Macintosh.
+A file named  \fITcl Environment Variables\fR may be placed in the
+preferences folder in the Mac system folder.  Each line of this file
+should be of the form \fIVAR_NAME=var_data\fR.
+.PP
+The last alternative is to place environment variables in a 'STR#' 
+resource named \fITcl Environment Variables\fR of the application.  This
+is considered a little more ``Mac like'' than a Unix style Environment
+Variable file.  Each entry in the 'STR#' resource has the same format
+as above.  The source code file \fItclMacEnv.c\fR contains the
+implementation of the env mechanisms.  This file contains many
+#define's that allow customization of the env mechanisms to fit your
+applications needs.
+.RE
+.TP
+\fBerrorCode\fR
+After an error has occurred, this variable will be set to hold
+additional information about the error in a form that is easy
+to process with programs.
+\fBerrorCode\fR consists of a Tcl list with one or more elements.
+The first element of the list identifies a general class of
+errors, and determines the format of the rest of the list.
+The following formats for \fBerrorCode\fR are used by the
+Tcl core; individual applications may define additional formats.
+.RS
+.TP
+\fBARITH\fI code msg\fR
+This format is used when an arithmetic error occurs (e.g. an attempt
+to divide by zero in the \fBexpr\fR command).
+\fICode\fR identifies the precise error and \fImsg\fR provides a
+human-readable description of the error.  \fICode\fR will be either
+DIVZERO (for an attempt to divide by zero),
+DOMAIN (if an argument is outside the domain of a function, such as acos(\-3)),
+IOVERFLOW (for integer overflow),
+OVERFLOW (for a floating-point overflow),
+or UNKNOWN (if the cause of the error cannot be determined).
+.TP
+\fBCHILDKILLED\fI pid sigName msg\fR
+This format is used when a child process has been killed because of
+a signal.  The second element of \fBerrorCode\fR will be the
+process's identifier (in decimal).
+The third element will be the symbolic name of the signal that caused
+the process to terminate; it will be one of the names from the
+include file signal.h, such as \fBSIGPIPE\fR.
+The fourth element will be a short human-readable message
+describing the signal, such as ``write on pipe with no readers''
+for \fBSIGPIPE\fR.
+.TP
+\fBCHILDSTATUS\fI pid code\fR
+This format is used when a child process has exited with a non-zero
+exit status.  The second element of \fBerrorCode\fR will be the
+process's identifier (in decimal) and the third element will be the exit
+code returned by the process (also in decimal).
+.TP
+\fBCHILDSUSP\fI pid sigName msg\fR
+This format is used when a child process has been suspended because
+of a signal.
+The second element of \fBerrorCode\fR will be the process's identifier,
+in decimal.
+The third element will be the symbolic name of the signal that caused
+the process to suspend; this will be one of the names from the
+include file signal.h, such as \fBSIGTTIN\fR.
+The fourth element will be a short human-readable message
+describing the signal, such as ``background tty read''
+for \fBSIGTTIN\fR.
+.TP
+\fBNONE\fR
+This format is used for errors where no additional information is
+available for an error besides the message returned with the
+error.  In these cases \fBerrorCode\fR will consist of a list
+containing a single element whose contents are \fBNONE\fR.
+.TP
+\fBPOSIX \fIerrName msg\fR
+If the first element of \fBerrorCode\fR is \fBPOSIX\fR, then
+the error occurred during a POSIX kernel call.
+The second element of the list will contain the symbolic name
+of the error that occurred, such as \fBENOENT\fR; this will
+be one of the values defined in the include file errno.h.
+The third element of the list will be a human-readable
+message corresponding to \fIerrName\fR, such as
+``no such file or directory'' for the \fBENOENT\fR case.
+.PP
+To set \fBerrorCode\fR, applications should use library
+procedures such as \fBTcl_SetErrorCode\fR and \fBTcl_PosixError\fR,
+or they may invoke the \fBerror\fR command.
+If one of these methods hasn't been used, then the Tcl
+interpreter will reset the variable to \fBNONE\fR after
+the next error.
+.RE
+.TP
+\fBerrorInfo\fR
+After an error has occurred, this string will contain one or more lines
+identifying the Tcl commands and procedures that were being executed
+when the most recent error occurred.
+Its contents take the form of a stack trace showing the various
+nested Tcl commands that had been invoked at the time of the error.
+.TP
+\fBtcl_library\fR
+This variable holds the name of a directory containing the
+system library of Tcl scripts, such as those used for auto-loading.
+The value of this variable is returned by the \fBinfo library\fR command.
+See the \fBlibrary\fR manual entry for details of the facilities 
+provided by the Tcl script library.
+Normally each application or package will have its own application-specific
+script library in addition to the Tcl script library;
+each application should set a global variable with a name like
+\fB$\fIapp\fB_library\fR (where \fIapp\fR is the application's name)
+to hold the network file name for that application's library directory.
+The initial value of \fBtcl_library\fR is set when an interpreter
+is created by searching several different directories until one is
+found that contains an appropriate Tcl startup script.
+If the \fBTCL_LIBRARY\fR environment variable exists, then
+the directory it names is checked first.
+If \fBTCL_LIBRARY\fR isn't set or doesn't refer to an appropriate
+directory, then Tcl checks several other directories based on a
+compiled-in default location, the location of the binary containing
+the application, and the current working directory.
+.TP
+\fBtcl_patchLevel\fR
+When an interpreter is created Tcl initializes this variable to
+hold a string giving the current patch level for Tcl, such as
+\fB7.3p2\fR for Tcl 7.3 with the first two official patches, or
+\fB7.4b4\fR for the fourth beta release of Tcl 7.4.
+The value of this variable is returned by the \fBinfo patchlevel\fR
+command.
+.VS 8.0 br
+.TP
+\fBtcl_pkgPath\fR
+This variable holds a list of directories indicating where packages are
+normally installed.  It typically contains either one or two entries; 
+if it contains two entries, the first is normally a directory for
+platform-dependent packages (e.g., shared library binaries) and the
+second is normally a directory for platform-independent packages (e.g.,
+script files). Typically a package is installed as a subdirectory of one
+of the entries in \fB$tcl_pkgPath\fR. The directories in

+\fBtcl_platform\fR
+This is an associative array whose elements contain information about
+the platform on which the application is running, such as the name of
+the operating system, its current release number, and the machine's
+instruction set.  The elements listed below will always
+be defined, but they may have empty strings as values if Tcl couldn't
+retrieve any relevant information.  In addition, extensions
+and applications may add additional values to the array.  The
+predefined elements are:
+.RS
+.VS
+.TP
+\fBbyteOrder\fR
+The native byte order of this machine: either \fBlittleEndian\fR or
+\fBbigEndian\fR. 
+.VE
+.TP
+\fBmachine\fR
+The instruction set executed by this machine, such as
+\fBintel\fR, \fBPPC\fR, \fB68k\fR, or \fBsun4m\fR.  On UNIX machines, this
+is the value returned by \fBuname -m\fR.
+.TP
+\fBos\fR 
+The name of the operating system running on this machine,
+such as \fBWin32s\fR, \fBWindows NT\fR, \fBMacOS\fR, or \fBSunOS\fR.
+On UNIX machines, this is the value returned by \fBuname -s\fR.
+.TP
+\fBosVersion\fR
+The version number for the operating system running on this machine.
+On UNIX machines, this is the value returned by \fBuname -r\fR.
+.TP
+\fBplatform\fR
+Either \fBwindows\fR, \fBmacintosh\fR, or \fBunix\fR.  This identifies the
+general operating environment of the machine.
+.RE
+.TP
+\fBtcl_precision\fR
+.VS
+This variable controls the number of digits to generate
+when converting floating-point values to strings.  It defaults
+to 12.
+17 digits is ``perfect'' for IEEE floating-point in that it allows
+double-precision values to be converted to strings and back to
+binary with no loss of information.  However, using 17 digits prevents
+any rounding, which produces longer, less intuitive results.  For example,
+\fBexpr 1.4\fR returns 1.3999999999999999 with \fBtcl_precision\fR
+set to 17, vs. 1.4 if \fBtcl_precision\fR is 12.
+.RS
+All interpreters in a process share a single \fBtcl_precision\fR value:
+changing it in one interpreter will affect all other interpreters as
+well.  However, safe interpreters are not allowed to modify the
+variable.
+.RE
+.VE
+.TP
+\fBtcl_rcFileName\fR
+This variable is used during initialization to indicate the name of a
+user-specific startup file.  If it is set by application-specific
+initialization, then the Tcl startup code will check for the existence
+of this file and \fBsource\fR it if it exists.  For example, for \fBwish\fR
+the variable is set to \fB~/.wishrc\fR for Unix and \fB~/wishrc.tcl\fR
+for Windows.
+.TP
+\fBtcl_rcRsrcName\fR
+This variable is only used on Macintosh systems.  The variable is used
+during initialization to indicate the name of a user-specific
+\fBTEXT\fR resource located in the application or extension resource
+forks.  If it is set by application-specific initialization, then the
+Tcl startup code will check for the existence of this resource and
+\fBsource\fR it if it exists.  For example, the Macintosh \fBwish\fR
+application has the variable is set to \fBtclshrc\fR.
+.TP
+\fBtcl_traceCompile\fR
+The value of this variable can be set to control
+how much tracing information
+is displayed during bytecode compilation.
+By default, tcl_traceCompile is zero and no information is displayed.
+Setting tcl_traceCompile to 1 generates a one line summary in stdout
+whenever a procedure or top level command is compiled.
+Setting it to 2 generates a detailed listing in stdout of the
+bytecode instructions emitted during every compilation.
+This variable is useful in
+tracking down suspected problems with the Tcl compiler.
+It is also occasionally useful when converting
+existing code to use Tcl8.0.
+.TP
+\fBtcl_traceExec\fR
+The value of this variable can be set to control
+how much tracing information
+is displayed during bytecode execution.
+By default, tcl_traceExec is zero and no information is displayed.
+Setting tcl_traceExec to 1 generates a one line trace in stdout
+on each call to a Tcl procedure.
+Setting it to 2 generates a line of output
+whenever any Tcl command is invoked
+that contains the name of the command and its arguments.
+Setting it to 3 produces a detailed trace showing the result of
+executing each bytecode instruction.
+Note that when tcl_traceExec is 2 or 3,
+commands such as set and incr
+that have been entirely replaced by a sequence
+of bytecode instructions are not shown.
+Setting this variable is useful in
+tracking down suspected problems with the bytecode compiler
+and interpreter.
+It is also occasionally useful when converting
+code to use Tcl8.0.
+.TP
+\fBtcl_version\fR
+When an interpreter is created Tcl initializes this variable to
+hold the version number for this version of Tcl in the form \fIx.y\fR.
+Changes to \fIx\fR represent major changes with probable
+incompatibilities and changes to \fIy\fR represent small enhancements and
+bug fixes that retain backward compatibility.
+The value of this variable is returned by the \fBinfo tclversion\fR
+command.

+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fBtrace \fIoption\fR ?\fIarg arg ...\fR?
+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+This command causes Tcl commands to be executed whenever certain operations are
+invoked.  At present, only variable tracing is implemented. The
+legal \fIoption\fR's (which may be abbreviated) are:
+.TP
+\fBtrace variable \fIname ops command\fR
+Arrange for \fIcommand\fR to be executed whenever variable \fIname\fR
+is accessed in one of the ways given by \fIops\fR.  \fIName\fR may
+refer to a normal variable, an element of an array, or to an array
+as a whole (i.e. \fIname\fR may be just the name of an array, with no
+parenthesized index).  If \fIname\fR refers to a whole array, then
+\fIcommand\fR is invoked whenever any element of the array is
+manipulated.
+.RS
+.PP
+\fIOps\fR indicates which operations are of interest, and consists of
+one or more of the following letters:
+.TP
+\fBr\fR
+Invoke \fIcommand\fR whenever the variable is read.
+.TP
+\fBw\fR
+Invoke \fIcommand\fR whenever the variable is written.
+.TP
+\fBu\fR
+Invoke \fIcommand\fR whenever the variable is unset.  Variables
+can be unset explicitly with the \fBunset\fR command, or
+implicitly when procedures return (all of their local variables
+are unset).  Variables are also unset when interpreters are
+deleted, but traces will not be invoked because there is no
+interpreter in which to execute them.
+.PP
+When the trace triggers, three arguments are appended to
+\fIcommand\fR so that the actual command is as follows:
+.CS
+\fIcommand name1 name2 op\fR
+.CE
+\fIName1\fR and \fIname2\fR give the name(s) for the variable
+being accessed:  if the variable is a scalar then \fIname1\fR
+gives the variable's name and \fIname2\fR is an empty string;
+if the variable is an array element then \fIname1\fR gives the
+name of the array and name2 gives the index into the array;
+if an entire array is being deleted and the trace was registered
+on the overall array, rather than a single element, then \fIname1\fR
+gives the array name and \fIname2\fR is an empty string.
+\fIName1\fR and \fIname2\fR are not necessarily the same as the
+name used in the \fBtrace variable\fR command:  the \fBupvar\fR
+command allows a procedure to reference a variable under a
+different name.
+\fIOp\fR indicates what operation is being performed on the
+variable, and is one of \fBr\fR, \fBw\fR, or \fBu\fR as
+defined above.
+.PP
+\fICommand\fR executes in the same context as the code that invoked
+the traced operation:  if the variable was accessed as part of a
+Tcl procedure, then \fIcommand\fR will have access to the same
+local variables as code in the procedure.  This context may be
+different than the context in which the trace was created.
+If \fIcommand\fR invokes a procedure (which it normally does) then
+the procedure will have to use \fBupvar\fR or \fBuplevel\fR if it
+wishes to access the traced variable.
+Note also that \fIname1\fR may not necessarily be the same as the name
+used to set the trace on the variable;  differences can occur if
+the access is made through a variable defined with the \fBupvar\fR
+command.
+.PP
+For read and write traces, \fIcommand\fR can modify
+the variable to affect the result of the traced operation.
+If \fIcommand\fR modifies the value of a variable during a
+read or write trace, then the new value will be returned as the
+result of the traced operation.
+The return value from  \fIcommand\fR is ignored except that
+if it returns an error of any sort then the traced operation
+also returns an error with
+the same error message returned by the trace command
+(this mechanism can be used to implement read-only variables, for
+example).
+For write traces, \fIcommand\fR is invoked after the variable's
+value has been changed; it can write a new value into the variable
+to override the original value specified in the write operation.
+To implement read-only variables, \fIcommand\fR will have to restore
+the old value of the variable.
+.PP
+While \fIcommand\fR is executing during a read or write trace, traces
+on the variable are temporarily disabled.
+This means that reads and writes invoked by
+\fIcommand\fR will occur directly, without invoking \fIcommand\fR
+(or any other traces) again.
+However, if \fIcommand\fR unsets the variable then unset traces
+will be invoked.
+.PP
+When an unset trace is invoked, the variable has already been
+deleted:  it will appear to be undefined with no traces.
+If an unset occurs because of a procedure return, then the
+trace will be invoked in the variable context of the procedure
+being returned to:  the stack frame of the returning procedure
+will no longer exist.
+Traces are not disabled during unset traces, so if an unset trace
+command creates a new trace and accesses the variable, the
+trace will be invoked.
+Any errors in unset traces are ignored.
+.PP
+If there are multiple traces on a variable they are invoked
+in order of creation, most-recent first.
+If one trace returns an error, then no further traces are
+invoked for the variable.
+If an array element has a trace set, and there is also a trace
+set on the array as a whole, the trace on the overall array
+is invoked before the one on the element.
+.PP
+Once created, the trace remains in effect either until the
+trace is removed with the \fBtrace vdelete\fR command described
+below, until the variable is unset, or until the interpreter
+is deleted.
+Unsetting an element of array will remove any traces on that
+element, but will not remove traces on the overall array.
+.PP
+This command returns an empty string.
+.RE
+.TP
+\fBtrace vdelete \fIname ops command\fR
+If there is a trace set on variable \fIname\fR with the
+operations and command given by \fIops\fR and \fIcommand\fR,
+then the trace is removed, so that \fIcommand\fR will never
+again be invoked.
+Returns an empty string.
+.TP
+\fBtrace vinfo \fIname\fR
+Returns a list containing one element for each trace
+currently set on variable \fIname\fR.
+Each element of the list is itself a list containing two
+elements, which are the \fIops\fR and \fIcommand\fR associated
+with the trace.
+If \fIname\fR doesn't exist or doesn't have any traces set, then
+the result of the command will be an empty string.

+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fBunknown \fIcmdName \fR?\fIarg arg ...\fR?
+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+This command is invoked by the Tcl interpreter whenever a script
+tries to invoke a command that doesn't exist.  The implementation
+of \fBunknown\fR isn't part of the Tcl core;  instead, it is a
+library procedure defined by default when Tcl starts up.  You
+can override the default \fBunknown\fR to change its functionality.
+.PP
+If the Tcl interpreter encounters a command name for which there
+is not a defined command, then Tcl checks for the existence of
+a command named \fBunknown\fR.
+If there is no such command, then the interpreter returns an
+error.
+If the \fBunknown\fR command exists, then it is invoked with
+arguments consisting of the fully-substituted name and arguments
+for the original non-existent command.
+The \fBunknown\fR command typically does things like searching
+through library directories for a command procedure with the name
+\fIcmdName\fR, or expanding abbreviated command names to full-length,
+or automatically executing unknown commands as sub-processes.
+In some cases (such as expanding abbreviations) \fBunknown\fR will
+change the original command slightly and then (re-)execute it.
+The result of the \fBunknown\fR command is used as the result for
+the original non-existent command.
+.PP
+The default implementation of \fBunknown\fR behaves as follows.
+It first calls the \fBauto_load\fR library procedure to load the command.
+If this succeeds, then it executes the original command with its
+original arguments.
+If the auto-load fails then \fBunknown\fR calls \fBauto_execok\fR
+to see if there is an executable file by the name \fIcmd\fR.
+If so, it invokes the Tcl \fBexec\fR command
+with \fIcmd\fR and all the \fIargs\fR as arguments.
+If \fIcmd\fR can't be auto-executed, \fBunknown\fR checks to
+see if the command was invoked at top-level and outside of any
+script.  If so, then \fBunknown\fR takes two additional steps.
+First, it sees if \fIcmd\fR has one of the following three forms:
+\fB!!\fR, \fB!\fIevent\fR, or \fB^\fIold\fB^\fInew\fR?\fB^\fR?.
+If so, then \fBunknown\fR carries out history substitution
+in the same way that \fBcsh\fR would for these constructs.
+Finally, \fBunknown\fR checks to see if \fIcmd\fR is
+a unique abbreviation for an existing Tcl command.
+If so, it expands the command name and executes the command with
+the original arguments.
+If none of the above efforts has been able to execute
+the command, \fBunknown\fR generates an error return.
+If the global variable \fBauto_noload\fR is defined, then the auto-load
+step is skipped.
+If the global variable \fBauto_noexec\fR is defined then the
+auto-exec step is skipped.
+Under normal circumstances the return value from \fBunknown\fR
+is the return value from the command that was eventually
+executed.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+This command is used to bring the application ``up to date''
+by entering the event loop repeated until all pending events
+(including idle callbacks) have been processed.
+.PP
+If the \fBidletasks\fR keyword is specified as an argument to the
+command, then no new events or errors are processed;  only idle
+callbacks are invoked.
+This causes operations that are normally deferred, such as display
+updates and window layout calculations, to be performed immediately.
+.PP
+The \fBupdate idletasks\fR command is useful in scripts where
+changes have been made to the application's state and you want those
+changes to appear on the display immediately, rather than waiting
+for the script to complete.  Most display updates are performed as
+idle callbacks, so \fBupdate idletasks\fR will cause them to run.
+However, there are some kinds of updates that only happen in
+response to events, such as those triggered by window size changes;
+these updates will not occur in \fBupdate idletasks\fR.
+.PP
+The \fBupdate\fR command with no options is useful in scripts where
+you are performing a long-running computation but you still want
+the application to respond to events such as user interactions;  if
+you occasionally call \fBupdate\fR then user input will be processed
+during the next call to \fBupdate\fR.

+\fBuplevel \fR?\fIlevel\fR?\fI arg \fR?\fIarg ...\fR?
+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+All of the \fIarg\fR arguments are concatenated as if they had
+been passed to \fBconcat\fR; the result is then evaluated in the
+variable context indicated by \fIlevel\fR.  \fBUplevel\fR returns
+the result of that evaluation.
+.PP
+If \fIlevel\fR is an integer then
+it gives a distance (up the procedure calling stack) to move before
+executing the command.  If \fIlevel\fR consists of \fB#\fR followed by
+a number then the number gives an absolute level number.  If \fIlevel\fR
+is omitted then it defaults to \fB1\fR.  \fILevel\fR cannot be
+defaulted if the first \fIcommand\fR argument starts with a digit or \fB#\fR.
+.PP
+For example, suppose that procedure \fBa\fR was invoked
+from top-level, and that it called \fBb\fR, and that \fBb\fR called \fBc\fR.
+Suppose that \fBc\fR invokes the \fBuplevel\fR command.  If \fIlevel\fR
+is \fB1\fR or \fB#2\fR  or omitted, then the command will be executed
+in the variable context of \fBb\fR.  If \fIlevel\fR is \fB2\fR or \fB#1\fR
+then the command will be executed in the variable context of \fBa\fR.
+If \fIlevel\fR is \fB3\fR or \fB#0\fR then the command will be executed
+at top-level (only global variables will be visible).
+.PP
+The \fBuplevel\fR command causes the invoking procedure to disappear
+from the procedure calling stack while the command is being executed.
+In the above example, suppose \fBc\fR invokes the command
+.CS
+\fBuplevel 1 {set x 43; d}\fR
+.CE
+where \fBd\fR is another Tcl procedure.  The \fBset\fR command will
+modify the variable \fBx\fR in \fBb\fR's context, and \fBd\fR will execute
+at level 3, as if called from \fBb\fR.  If it in turn executes
+the command
+.CS
+\fBuplevel {set x 42}\fR
+.CE
+then the \fBset\fR command will modify the same variable \fBx\fR in \fBb\fR's
+context:  the procedure \fBc\fR does not appear to be on the call stack
+when \fBd\fR is executing.  The command ``\fBinfo level\fR'' may
+be used to obtain the level of the current procedure.
+.PP
+\fBUplevel\fR makes it possible to implement new control
+constructs as Tcl procedures (for example, \fBuplevel\fR could
+be used to implement the \fBwhile\fR construct as a Tcl procedure).
+.PP
+\fBnamespace eval\fR is another way (besides procedure calls)
+that the Tcl naming context can change.
+It adds a call frame to the stack to represent the namespace context.

+.SH NAME
+upvar \- Create link to variable in a different stack frame
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fBupvar \fR?\fIlevel\fR? \fIotherVar myVar \fR?\fIotherVar myVar \fR...?
+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+This command arranges for one or more local variables in the current
+procedure to refer to variables in an enclosing procedure call or
+to global variables.
+\fILevel\fR may have any of the forms permitted for the \fBuplevel\fR
+command, and may be omitted if the first letter of the first \fIotherVar\fR
+isn't \fB#\fR or a digit (it defaults to \fB1\fR).
+For each \fIotherVar\fR argument, \fBupvar\fR makes the variable
+by that name in the procedure frame given by \fIlevel\fR (or at
+global level, if \fIlevel\fR is \fB#0\fR) accessible
+in the current procedure by the name given in the corresponding
+\fImyVar\fR argument.
+The variable named by \fIotherVar\fR need not exist at the time of the
+call;  it will be created the first time \fImyVar\fR is referenced, just like
+an ordinary variable.  There must not exist a variable by the
+name \fImyVar\fR at the time \fBupvar\fR is invoked.
+\fIMyVar\fR is always treated as the name of a variable, not an
+array element.  Even if the name looks like an array element,
+such as \fBa(b)\fR, a regular variable is created.
+\fIOtherVar\fR may refer to a scalar variable, an array,
+or an array element.
+\fBUpvar\fR returns an empty string.
+.PP
+The \fBupvar\fR command simplifies the implementation of call-by-name
+procedure calling and also makes it easier to build new control constructs
+as Tcl procedures.
+For example, consider the following procedure:
+.CS
+\fBproc add2 name {
+	upvar $name x
+	set x [expr $x+2]
+}\fR
+.CE
+\fBAdd2\fR is invoked with an argument giving the name of a variable,
+and it adds two to the value of that variable.
+Although \fBadd2\fR could have been implemented using \fBuplevel\fR
+instead of \fBupvar\fR, \fBupvar\fR makes it simpler for \fBadd2\fR
+to access the variable in the caller's procedure frame.
+.PP
+\fBnamespace eval\fR is another way (besides procedure calls)
+that the Tcl naming context can change.
+It adds a call frame to the stack to represent the namespace context.
+This means each \fBnamespace eval\fR command
+counts as another call level for \fBuplevel\fR and \fBupvar\fR commands.
+For example, \fBinfo level 1\fR will return a list
+describing a command that is either
+the outermost procedure call or the outermost \fBnamespace eval\fR command.
+Also, \fBuplevel #0\fR evaluates a script
+at top-level in the outermost namespace (the global namespace).
+.PP
+.VS
+If an upvar variable is unset (e.g. \fBx\fR in \fBadd2\fR above), the
+\fBunset\fR operation affects the variable it is linked to, not the
+upvar variable.  There is no way to unset an upvar variable except
+by exiting the procedure in which it is defined.  However, it is
+possible to retarget an upvar variable by executing another \fBupvar\fR
+command.
+
+.SH BUGS
+.PP
+If \fIotherVar\fR refers to an element of an array, then variable
+traces set for the entire array will not be invoked when \fImyVar\fR
+is accessed (but traces on the particular element will still be
+invoked).  In particular, if the array is \fBenv\fR, then changes
+made to \fImyVar\fR will not be passed to subprocesses correctly.

+.SH NAME
+variable \- create and initialize a namespace variable
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fBvariable \fR?\fIname value...\fR? \fIname \fR?\fIvalue\fR?
+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+This command is normally used within a
+\fBnamespace eval\fR command to create one or more variables
+within a namespace.
+Each variable \fIname\fR is initialized with \fIvalue\fR.
+The \fIvalue\fR for the last variable is optional.
+.PP
+If a variable \fIname\fR does not exist, it is created.
+In this case, if \fIvalue\fR is specified,
+it is assigned to the newly created variable.
+If no \fIvalue\fR is specified, the new variable is left undefined.
+If the variable already exists,
+it is set to \fIvalue\fR if \fIvalue\fR is specified
+or left unchanged if no \fIvalue\fR is given.
+Normally, \fIname\fR is unqualified
+(does not include the names of any containing namespaces),
+and the variable is created in the current namespace.
+If \fIname\fR includes any namespace qualifiers,
+the variable is created in the specified namespace.
+.PP
+If the \fBvariable\fR command is executed inside a Tcl procedure,
+it creates local variables
+linked to the corresponding namespace variables.
+In this way the \fBvariable\fR command resembles the \fBglobal\fR command,
+although the \fBglobal\fR command
+only links to variables in the global namespace.
+If any \fIvalue\fRs are given,
+they are used to modify the values of the associated namespace variables.
+If a namespace variable does not exist,
+it is created and optionally initialized.
+.PP
+A \fIname\fR argument cannot reference an element within an array.
+Instead, \fIname\fR should reference the entire array,
+and the initialization \fIvalue\fR should be left off.
+After the variable has been declared,
+elements within the array can be set using ordinary
+\fBset\fR or \fBarray\fR commands.

+vwait \- Process events until a variable is written
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fBvwait\fR \fIvarName\fR
+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+This command enters the Tcl event loop to process events, blocking
+the application if no events are ready.  It continues processing
+events until some event handler sets the value of variable
+\fIvarName\fR.  Once \fIvarName\fR has been set, the \fBvwait\fR
+command will return as soon as the event handler that modified
+\fIvarName\fR completes.
+.PP
+In some cases the \fBvwait\fR command may not return immediately
+after \fIvarName\fR is set.  This can happen if the event handler
+that sets \fIvarName\fR does not complete immediately.  For example,
+if an event handler sets \fIvarName\fR and then itself calls
+\fBvwait\fR to wait for a different variable, then it may not return
+for a long time.  During this time the top-level \fBvwait\fR is
+blocked waiting for the event handler to complete, so it cannot
+return either.

+.SH NAME
+while \- Execute script repeatedly as long as a condition is met
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fBwhile \fItest body\fR
+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+The \fBwhile\fR command evaluates \fItest\fR as an expression
+(in the same way that \fBexpr\fR evaluates its argument).
+The value of the expression must a proper boolean
+value; if it is a true value
+then \fIbody\fR is executed by passing it to the Tcl interpreter.
+Once \fIbody\fR has been executed then \fItest\fR is evaluated
+again, and the process repeats until eventually \fItest\fR
+evaluates to a false boolean value.  \fBContinue\fR
+commands may be executed inside \fIbody\fR to terminate the current
+iteration of the loop, and \fBbreak\fR
+commands may be executed inside \fIbody\fR to cause immediate
+termination of the \fBwhile\fR command.  The \fBwhile\fR command
+always returns an empty string.
+.PP
+Note: \fItest\fR should almost always be enclosed in braces.  If not,
+variable substitutions will be made before the \fBwhile\fR
+command starts executing, which means that variable changes
+made by the loop body will not be considered in the expression.
+This is likely to result in an infinite loop.  If \fItest\fR is
+enclosed in braces, variable substitutions are delayed until the
+expression is evaluated (before
+each loop iteration), so changes in the variables will be visible.
+For an example, try the following script with and without the braces
+around \fB$x<10\fR:
+.CS
+set x 0
+while {$x<10} {
+	puts "x is $x"
+	incr x
+}
