-\fBtcltest::threadReap\fR
-\fBtcltest::threadReap\fR only works if \fItestthread\fR is
-defined, generally by compiling tcltest. If \fItestthread\fR is
-defined, \fBtcltest::threadReap\fR kills all threads except for the
-main thread. It gets the ID of the main thread by calling
-\fItestthread names\fR during initialization. This value is stored in
-\fItcltest::mainThread\fR. \fBtcltest::threadReap\fR returns the
-number of existing threads at completion.
-.TP
-\fBtcltest::mainThread\fR
-Sets or returns the main thread ID. This defaults to 1. This is the
-only thread that is not killed by tcltest::threadReap and is set
-according to the return value of \fItestthread names\fR at
-initialization.
.SH TESTS
The \fBtest\fR procedure runs a test script and prints an error
message if the script's result does not match the expected result.
