+.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 interpreter's result 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
+.QW safe
+slave in which Tcl code has access only to set of Tcl commands defined as
+.QW "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
+.QW safe
+(was created with the \fBTCL_SAFE_INTERPRETER\fR flag specified),
+\fB0\fR otherwise.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_MakeSafe\fR marks \fIinterp\fR as
+.QW safe ,
+so that future
+calls to \fBTcl_IsSafe\fR will return 1.  It also removes all known
+potentially-unsafe core functionality (both commands and variables)
+from \fIinterp\fR.  However, it cannot know what parts of an extension
+or application are safe and does not make any attempt to remove those
+parts, so safety is not guaranteed after calling \fBTcl_MakeSafe\fR.
+Callers will want to take care with their use of \fBTcl_MakeSafe\fR
+to avoid false claims of safety.  For many situations, \fBTcl_CreateSlave\fR
+may be a better choice, since it creates interpreters in a known-safe state.
+.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 stores in the result of \fIaskingInterp\fR
+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 an error message is stored as the
+result of \fIaskingInterp\fR.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_CreateAlias\fR creates a command named \fIslaveCmd\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 \fIslaveCmd\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 value 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_CreateAlias\fR except
+that it takes a vector of values to pass as additional arguments instead
+of a vector of strings.
+.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.
+.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 as the result of \fIinterp\fR.
+If an exposed command named \fIcmdName\fR already exists,
+the operation returns \fBTCL_ERROR\fR and leaves an error message as
+the result of \fIinterp\fR.
+If the operation succeeds, it returns \fBTCL_OK\fR.
+After executing this command, attempts to use \fIcmdName\fR in any
+script evaluation mechanism 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 as the 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 as the 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 an error
+message is left as the result of \fIinterp\fR.
+If the operation succeeds, it returns \fBTCL_OK\fR.
+After executing this command, attempts to use \fIcmdName\fR in
+any script evaluation mechanism will fail.
