# command available:
#
#	1. See if the command has the form "namespace inscope ns cmd" and
#	   if so, concatenate its arguments onto the end and evaluate it.
#	2. See if the autoload facility can locate the command in a
#	   Tcl script file.  If so, load it and execute it.
#	3. If the command was invoked interactively at top-level:
#	    (a) see if the command exists as an executable UNIX program.
#		If so, "exec" the command.
#	    (b) see if the command requests csh-like history substitution
#		in one of the common forms !!, !<number>, or ^old^new.  If
#		so, emulate csh's history substitution.
#	    (c) see if the command is a unique abbreviation for another
#		command.  If so, invoke the command.

# ::tcl::CopyDirectory --
#
# This procedure is called by Tcl's core when attempts to call the
# filesystem's copydirectory function fail.  The semantics of the call
# are that 'dest' does not yet exist, i.e. dest should become the exact
# image of src.  If dest does exist, we throw an error.  
# 
# Note that making changes to this procedure can change the results
# of running Tcl's tests.
#

# action -              "renaming" or "copying" 
# src -			source directory
# dest -		destination directory
