pkg::create(n) Tcl Built-In Commands pkg::create(n) NAME pkg::create - Construct an appropriate package ifneeded command for a given package specification SYNOPSIS ::pkg::create -name packageName -version packageVersion ?-load file- spec? ... ?-source filespec? ... DESCRIPTION ::pkg::create is a utility procedure that is part of the standard Tcl library. It is used to create an appropriate package ifneeded command for a given package specification. It can be used to construct a pkgIndex.tcl file(1,n) for use with the package mechanism. OPTIONS The parameters supported are: -name packageName This parameter specifies the name of the package. It is required. -version packageVersion This parameter specifies the version(1,3,5) of the package. It is required. -load filespec This parameter specifies a binary library that must be loaded with the load(7,n) command. filespec is a list with two elements. The first element is the name of the file(1,n) 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, ::pkg::create will set(7,n,1 builtins) up the library for direct loading (see pkg_mkIndex). Any number of -load parameters may be specified. -source filespec This parameter is similar to the -load parameter, except that it specifies a Tcl library that must be loaded with the source com- mand. Any number of -source parameters may be specified. At least one -load or -source parameter must be given. SEE ALSO package(n) KEYWORDS auto-load, index, package, version(1,3,5) Tcl 8.3 pkg::create(n)
