chiark-tcl - some useful Tcl bindings ------------------------------------- This package contains, basically, shared libraries chiark_tcl_-1.so in /usr/lib. Each of these is a Tcl extension which can be loaded into a Tcl interpreter with load chiark_tcl_-1.so and then the new commands will immediately be available. The documentation for each extension is regrettably rather sketchy but the following information should be enough to get you started: .tct This is the input file to the automatic Tcl<->C glue generator used by all of the extensions provided in this package. This lists the commands and subcommands available. .[ch].txt Some of the extensions have additional usage documentation in a source code comment. This comment has been mechanically extracted from the source file for your comfort and convenience. To gain an understanding of the way the *.tct files work, take a look at adns.c.txt which describes the `adns' command provided by the adns binding. Note that the file /usr/lib/libchiark_tcl-1.so is NOT an amalgam of all of the extensions. It is a set of common routines which will be loaded automatically when required. Each extension must be loaded explicitly with the Tcl `load' command to bring the additional commands into the Tcl command namespace.
