.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 * number of
elements\fR by repeating \fInumber\fR times the sequence of elements
\fIelement1 element2 ...\fR.  \fInumber\fR must be a positive integer,
\fIelementn\fR can be any Tcl value.  Note that \fBlrepeat 1 arg ...\fR
is identical to \fBlist arg ...\fR, though the \fIarg\fR is required
with \fBlrepeat\fR.
.SH EXAMPLES
.CS
lrepeat 3 a  => a a a
lrepeat 3 [lrepeat 3 0] => {0 0 0} {0 0 0} {0 0 0}

lrepeat 3 [lrepeat 2 a] b c => {a a} b c {a a} b c {a a} b c
