+.SH NAME
+Tk_GetScrollInfo \- parse arguments for scrolling commands
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+\fB#include <tk.h>\fR
+.sp
+int
+\fBTk_GetScrollInfo(\fIinterp, argc, argv, dblPtr, intPtr\fB)\fR
+.SH ARGUMENTS
+.AS "Tcl_Interp" *dblPtr
+.AP Tcl_Interp *interp in
+Interpreter to use for error reporting.
+.AP int argc in
+Number of strings in \fIargv\fR array.
+.AP char *argv[] in
+Argument strings.  These represent the entire widget command, of
+which the first word is typically the widget name and the second
+word is typically \fBxview\fR or \fByview\fR.  This procedure parses
+arguments starting with \fIargv\fR[2].
+.AP double *dblPtr out
+Filled in with fraction from \fBmoveto\fR option, if any.
+.AP int *intPtr out
+Filled in with line or page count from \fBscroll\fR option, if any.
+The value may be negative.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+\fBTk_GetScrollInfo\fR parses the arguments expected by widget
+scrolling commands such as \fBxview\fR and \fByview\fR.
+It receives the entire list of words that make up a widget command
+and parses the words starting with \fIargv\fR[2].
+The words starting with \fIargv\fR[2] must have one of the following forms:
+.CS
+\fBmoveto \fIfraction\fR
+\fBscroll \fInumber\fB units\fR
+\fBscroll \fInumber\fB pages\fR
+.CE
+.LP
+Any of the \fBmoveto\fR, \fBscroll\fR, \fBunits\fR, and \fBpages\fR
+keywords may be abbreviated.
+If \fIargv\fR has the \fBmoveto\fR form, \fBTK_SCROLL_MOVETO\fR
+is returned as result and \fI*dblPtr\fR is filled in with the
+\fIfraction\fR argument to the command, which must be a proper real
+value.
+If \fIargv\fR has the \fBscroll\fR form, \fBTK_SCROLL_UNITS\fR
+or \fBTK_SCROLL_PAGES\fR is returned and \fI*intPtr\fR is filled
+in with the \fInumber\fR value, which must be a proper integer.
+If an error occurs in parsing the arguments, \fBTK_SCROLL_ERROR\fR
+is returned and an error message is left in \fIinterp->result\fR.
+
