Each of the procedures takes a \fIstring\fR argument, +integers). Each of the procedures takes a \fIstr\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 \fIstring\fR doesn't have the proper syntax for the +\fBTCL_OK\fR. If \fIstr\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. .PP -\fBTcl_GetInt\fR expects \fIstring\fR to consist of a collection +\fBTcl_GetInt\fR expects \fIstr\fR to consist of a collection of integer digits, optionally signed and optionally preceded by -white space.
