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. +.PP +.SH "SEE ALSO" +For a description of the Tcl interface to multiple interpreters, see +\fIinterp(n)\fR. + +.SH KEYWORDS +alias, command, exposed commands, hidden commands, interpreter, invoke, +master, slave, + |
