.SH DESCRIPTION
.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 \fIstr\fR argument,
+integers). Each of the procedures takes a \fIsrc\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
-\fBTCL_OK\fR. If \fIstr\fR doesn't have the proper syntax for the
+\fBTCL_OK\fR. If \fIsrc\fR doesn't have the proper syntax for the
desired type then \fBTCL_ERROR\fR is returned, an error message is left
in the interpreter's result, and nothing is stored at *\fIintPtr\fR
or *\fIdoublePtr\fR or *\fIboolPtr\fR.
