.SH NAME
pkg::create \- Construct an appropriate `package ifneeded' command for a given package specification
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fB::pkg::create \fI\-name packageName\fR \fI\-version packageVersion\fR ?\fI\-load filespec\fR? ... ?\fI\-source filespec\fR? ...
.BE
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
\fB::pkg::create\fR is a utility procedure that is part of the standard Tcl
library. It is used to create an appropriate \fBpackage ifneeded\fR
command for a given package specification. It can be used to construct a
\fBpkgIndex.tcl\fR file for use with the \fBpackage\fR mechanism.
.SH OPTIONS
The parameters supported are:
.TP
\fB\-name\fR\0\fIpackageName\fR
This parameter specifies the name of the package. It is required.
.TP
\fB\-version\fR\0\fIpackageVersion\fR
This parameter specifies the version of the package. It is required.
.TP
\fB\-load\fR\0\fIfilespec\fR
This parameter specifies a binary library that must be loaded with the
\fBload\fR command. \fIfilespec\fR is a list with two elements. The
first element is the name of the file to load. The second, optional
element is a list of commands supplied by loading that file. If the
list of procedures is empty or omitted, \fB::pkg::create\fR will
set up the library for direct loading (see \fBpkg_mkIndex\fR). Any
number of \fB\-load\fR parameters may be specified.
.TP
\fB\-source\fR\0\fIfilespec\fR
This parameter is similar to the \fB\-load\fR parameter, except that it
specifies a Tcl library that must be loaded with the
\fBsource\fR command. Any number of \fB\-source\fR parameters may be
specified.
.PP
At least one \fB\-load\fR or \fB\-source\fR parameter must be given.
