-.BE
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.PP
-Tcl allows a number of mathematical functions to be used in
-expressions, such as \fBsin\fR, \fBcos\fR, and \fBhypot\fR.
-These functions are represented by commands in the namespace,
-\fBtcl::mathfunc\fR. The \fBTcl_CreateMathFunc\fR function is
-an obsolete way for applications to add additional functions
-to those already provided by Tcl or to replace existing functions.
-It should not be used by new applications, which should create
-math functions using \fBTcl_CreateObjCommand\fR to create a command
-in the \fBtcl::mathfunc\fR namespace.
-.PP
-In the \fBTcl_CreateMathFunc\fR interface,
-\fIName\fR is the name of the function as it will appear in expressions.
-If \fIname\fR does not already exist in the \fB::tcl::mathfunc\fR
-namespace, then a new command is created in that namespace.
-If \fIname\fR does exist, then the existing function is replaced.
-\fINumArgs\fR and \fIargTypes\fR describe the arguments to the function.
-Each entry in the \fIargTypes\fR array must be
-one of \fBTCL_INT\fR, \fBTCL_DOUBLE\fR, \fBTCL_WIDE_INT\fR,
-or \fBTCL_EITHER\fR to indicate whether the corresponding argument must be an
-integer, a double-precision floating value, a wide (64-bit) integer,
-or any, respectively.
-.PP
-Whenever the function is invoked in an expression Tcl will invoke
-\fIproc\fR. \fIProc\fR should have arguments and result that match
-the type \fBTcl_MathProc\fR:
-.PP
-.CS
-typedef int \fBTcl_MathProc\fR(
- ClientData \fIclientData\fR,
- Tcl_Interp *\fIinterp\fR,
- Tcl_Value *\fIargs\fR,
- Tcl_Value *\fIresultPtr\fR);
-.CE
-.PP
-When \fIproc\fR is invoked the \fIclientData\fR and \fIinterp\fR
-arguments will be the same as those passed to \fBTcl_CreateMathFunc\fR.
-\fIArgs\fR will point to an array of \fInumArgs\fR Tcl_Value structures,
-which describe the actual arguments to the function:
-.PP
-.CS
-typedef struct Tcl_Value {
- Tcl_ValueType \fItype\fR;
- long \fIintValue\fR;
- double \fIdoubleValue\fR;
- Tcl_WideInt \fIwideValue\fR;
-} \fBTcl_Value\fR;
-.CE
-.PP
-The \fItype\fR field indicates the type of the argument and is
-one of \fBTCL_INT\fR, \fBTCL_DOUBLE\fR or \fBTCL_WIDE_INT\fR.
-It will match the \fIargTypes\fR value specified for the function unless
-the \fIargTypes\fR value was \fBTCL_EITHER\fR. Tcl converts
-the argument supplied in the expression to the type requested in
-\fIargTypes\fR, if that is necessary.
-Depending on the value of the \fItype\fR field, the \fIintValue\fR,
-\fIdoubleValue\fR or \fIwideValue\fR
-field will contain the actual value of the argument.
-.PP
-\fIProc\fR should compute its result and store it either as an integer
-in \fIresultPtr->intValue\fR or as a floating value in
-\fIresultPtr->doubleValue\fR.
-It should set also \fIresultPtr->type\fR to one of
-\fBTCL_INT\fR, \fBTCL_DOUBLE\fR or \fBTCL_WIDE_INT\fR
-to indicate which value was set.
-Under normal circumstances \fIproc\fR should return \fBTCL_OK\fR.
-If an error occurs while executing the function, \fIproc\fR should
-return \fBTCL_ERROR\fR and leave an error message in the interpreter's result.
-.PP
-\fBTcl_GetMathFuncInfo\fR retrieves the values associated with
-function \fIname\fR that were passed to a preceding
-\fBTcl_CreateMathFunc\fR call. Normally, the return code is
-\fBTCL_OK\fR but if the named function does not exist, \fBTCL_ERROR\fR
-is returned and an error message is placed in the interpreter's
-result.
-.PP
-If an error did not occur, the array reference placed in the variable
-pointed to by \fIargTypesPtr\fR is newly allocated, and should be
-released by passing it to \fBTcl_Free\fR. Some functions (the
-standard set implemented in the core, and those defined by placing
-commands in the \fBtcl::mathfunc\fR namespace) do not have
-argument type information; attempting to retrieve values for
-them causes a NULL to be stored in the variable pointed to by
-\fIprocPtr\fR and the variable pointed to by \fIclientDataPtr\fR
-will not be modified. The variable pointed to by \fInumArgsPointer\fR
-will contain -1, and no argument types will be stored in the variable
-pointed to by \fIargTypesPointer\fR.
-.PP
-\fBTcl_ListMathFuncs\fR returns a Tcl value containing a list of all
-the math functions defined in the interpreter whose name matches
-\fIpattern\fR. The returned value has a reference count of zero.
-.SH "REFERENCE COUNT MANAGEMENT"
-.PP

.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
-The procedures described here are utilities for manipulating the
-result value in a Tcl interpreter.
-The interpreter result may be either a Tcl value or a string.
-For example, \fBTcl_SetObjResult\fR and \fBTcl_SetResult\fR
-set the interpreter result to, respectively, a value and a string.
-Similarly, \fBTcl_GetObjResult\fR and \fBTcl_GetStringResult\fR
-return the interpreter result as a value and as a string.
-The procedures always keep the string and value forms
-of the interpreter result consistent.
-For example, if \fBTcl_SetObjResult\fR is called to set
-the result to a value,
-then \fBTcl_GetStringResult\fR is called,
-it will return the value's string representation.
+These procedures manipulate the result of an interpreter. Some procedures
+provide a Tcl_Obj interface while others provide a string interface. For
+example, \fBTcl_SetObjResult\fR accepts a Tcl_Obj and \fBTcl_SetResult\fR
+accepts a char *. Similarly, \fBTcl_GetObjResult\fR produces a Tcl_Obj * and
+\fBTcl_GetStringResult\fR produces a char *. The procedures can be mixed and
+matched. For example, if \fBTcl_SetObjResult\fR is called to set the result to
+a Tcl_Obj value, and then \fBTcl_GetStringResult\fR is called, it returns a
+char * (but see caveats below).

-\fBTcl_ResetResult\fR clears the result for \fIinterp\fR

-If the result is a dynamically allocated string, its memory is free*d

-and \fBTcl_SetErrorCode\fR.
-.PP
-\fBTcl_AppendResult\fR makes it easy to build up Tcl results in pieces.
-It takes each of its \fIresult\fR arguments and appends them in order
-to the current result associated with \fIinterp\fR.
-If the result is in its initialized empty state (e.g. a command procedure
-was just invoked or \fBTcl_ResetResult\fR was just called),
-then \fBTcl_AppendResult\fR sets the result to the concatenation of
-its \fIresult\fR arguments.
-\fBTcl_AppendResult\fR may be called repeatedly as additional pieces
-of the result are produced.
-\fBTcl_AppendResult\fR takes care of all the

-result, such as allocating a larger result area if necessary.
-It also manages conversion to and from the \fIresult\fR field of the

+\fBTcl_GetObjResult\fR returns the result for \fIinterp\fR, without

+\fBNULL\fR, ignores \fIfreeProc\fR and sets the result for \fIinterp\fR to
+point to the empty string.

+\fBTcl_GetStringResult\fR returns the result for \fIinterp\fR as a string, i.e.
+the bytes of the Tcl_Obj for the result, which can be decoded using
+\fBTcl_UtfToExternal\fR. This value is freed when its corresponding Tcl_Obj is
+freed.Programmers are encouraged to use the newer Tcl_Obj API procedures, e.g.
+to call \fBTcl_GetObjResult\fR instead.

+clears the error state managed by \fBTcl_AddErrorInfo\fR,

+\fBTcl_AppendResult\fR builds up a result from smaller pieces, appending each
+\fIresult\fR in order to the current result for \fIinterp\fR. It may be called
+repeatedly as additional pieces of the result are produced, and manages the

-(see the \fBTcl_Interp\fR manual entry for details on this).
-.PP
-If \fIfreeProc\fR is \fBTCL_STATIC\fR it means that \fIresult\fR
-refers to an area of static storage that is guaranteed not to be

-If \fIfreeProc\fR
-is \fBTCL_DYNAMIC\fR it means that \fIresult\fR was allocated with a call
-to \fBTcl_Alloc\fR and is now the property of the Tcl system.
-\fBTcl_SetResult\fR will arrange for the string's storage to be
-released by calling \fBTcl_Free\fR when it is no longer needed.
-If \fIfreeProc\fR is \fBTCL_VOLATILE\fR it means that \fIresult\fR

-values, along with the bytecode execution stack, argument lists, variables,
-and the list and dictionary collection values.
-.PP
-\fBTcl_SetObjResult\fR takes a value with an arbitrary reference count
-\fI(specifically including zero)\fR and guarantees to increment the reference
-count. If code wishes to continue using the value after setting it as the
-result, it should add its own reference to it with \fBTcl_IncrRefCount\fR.
-.PP
-\fBTcl_GetObjResult\fR returns the current interpreter result value. This will
-have a reference count of at least 1. If the caller wishes to keep the
-interpreter result value, it should increment its reference count.
-.PP
-\fBTcl_GetStringResult\fR does not manipulate reference counts, but the string
-it returns is owned by (and has a lifetime controlled by) the current
-interpreter result value; it should be copied instead of being relied upon to
-persist after the next Tcl API call, as most Tcl operations can modify the
-interpreter result.
-.PP
-\fBTcl_SetResult\fR, \fBTcl_AppendResult\fR, \fBTcl_AppendResultVA\fR,
-\fBTcl_AppendElement\fR, and \fBTcl_ResetResult\fR all modify the interpreter

-\fINote: the \fBcase\fI command is obsolete and is supported only
-for backward compatibility. At some point in the future it may be
-removed entirely. You should use the \fBswitch\fI command instead.\fR
-.PP
-The \fBcase\fR command matches \fIstring\fR against each of
-the \fIpatList\fR arguments in order.
-Each \fIpatList\fR argument is a list of one or
-more patterns. If any of these patterns matches \fIstring\fR then
-\fBcase\fR evaluates the following \fIbody\fR argument
-by passing it recursively to the Tcl interpreter and returns the result
-of that evaluation.
-Each \fIpatList\fR argument consists of a single
-pattern or list of patterns. Each pattern may contain any of the wild-cards
-described under \fBstring match\fR. If a \fIpatList\fR
-argument is \fBdefault\fR, the corresponding body will be evaluated
-if no \fIpatList\fR matches \fIstring\fR. If no \fIpatList\fR argument
-matches \fIstring\fR and no default is given, then the \fBcase\fR
-command returns an empty string.
-.PP
-Two syntaxes are provided for the \fIpatList\fR and \fIbody\fR arguments.
-The first uses a separate argument for each of the patterns and commands;
-this form is convenient if substitutions are desired on some of the
-patterns or commands.
-The second form places all of the patterns and commands together into
-a single argument; the argument must have proper list structure, with
-the elements of the list being the patterns and commands.
-The second form makes it easy to construct multi-line case commands,
-since the braces around the whole list make it unnecessary to include a
-backslash at the end of each line.
-Since the \fIpatList\fR arguments are in braces in the second form,
-no command or variable substitutions are performed on them; this makes
-the behavior of the second form different than the first form in some
-cases.

.PP
-The \fBfcopy\fR command copies data from one I/O channel, \fIinchan\fR to another I/O channel, \fIoutchan\fR.
-The \fBfcopy\fR command leverages the buffering in the Tcl I/O system to
-avoid extra copies and to avoid buffering too much data in
-main memory when copying large files to slow destinations like
-network sockets.
-.PP
-The \fBfcopy\fR
-command transfers data from \fIinchan\fR until end of file
-or \fIsize\fR bytes or characters have been
-transferred; \fIsize\fR is in bytes if the input channel is in binary mode,
-or if the two channels are using the same encoding and -strict is not specified.
-Otherwise, size is in characters.
-If no \fB\-size\fR argument is given,
-then the copy goes until end of file.
-All the data read from \fIinchan\fR is copied to \fIoutchan\fR.
-Without the \fB\-command\fR option, \fBfcopy\fR blocks until the copy is complete
-and returns the number of bytes or characters (using the same rules as
-for the \fB\-size\fR option) written to \fIoutchan\fR.
-.PP
-The \fB\-command\fR argument makes \fBfcopy\fR work in the background.
-In this case it returns immediately and the \fIcallback\fR is invoked
-later when the copy completes.
-The \fIcallback\fR is called with
-one or two additional
-arguments that indicates how many bytes were written to \fIoutchan\fR.
-If an error occurred during the background copy, the second argument is the
-error string associated with the error.
-With a background copy,
-it is not necessary to put \fIinchan\fR or \fIoutchan\fR into
-non-blocking mode; the \fBfcopy\fR command takes care of that automatically.
-However, it is necessary to enter the event loop by using
-the \fBvwait\fR command or by using Tk.
-.PP
-You are not allowed to do other input operations with \fIinchan\fR, or
-output operations with \fIoutchan\fR, during a background
-\fBfcopy\fR. The converse is entirely legitimate, as exhibited by the
-bidirectional fcopy example below.
-.PP
-If either \fIinchan\fR or \fIoutchan\fR get closed
-while the copy is in progress, the current copy is stopped
-and the command callback is \fInot\fR made.
-If \fIinchan\fR is closed,

-.PP
-Note that \fIinchan\fR can become readable during a background copy.
