.SH NAME
lrepeat \- Build a list by repeating elements
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBlrepeat \fInumber element1 \fR?\fIelement2 element3 ...\fR?
.BE
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
The \fBlrepeat\fR command creates a list of size \fInumber\fR \(mu \fInumber
of elements\fR by repeating \fInumber\fR times the sequence of elements
\fIelement1 element2 ...\fR. The \fInumber\fR must be a positive integer, and
each \fIelementN\fR can be any Tcl value.
.PP
Note that
.QW "\fBlrepeat 1 arg ...\fR"
is identical to
.QW "\fBlist arg ...\fR" ,
though the \fIarg\fR is required with \fBlrepeat\fR.
