NAME
dump - Dump information about Tcl interpreter in TkCon
SYNOPSIS
dump method ?-nocomplain? ?-filter pattern? ?--? pattern ?pattern ...? ______________________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
The dump
command provides a way for the user to spit out state
information about the interpreter in a Tcl readable (and
human readable) form. It takes the general form:
dump method ?-nocomplain? ?-filter
pattern? ?--? pattern ?pattern
...?
The patterns
represent glob-style patterns (as in string match
pattern $str). -nocomplain will prevent dump from
throwing an error if no items matched the pattern.
-filter is interpreted as appropriate for the method.
The various methods are:
dump command args
Outputs one or more commands.
dump procedure args
Outputs one or more procs in sourceable form.
dump variable args
Outputs the values of variables in sourceable form. Recognizes nested arrays. The -filter pattern is used as to filter array element names and is interepreted as a glob pattern (defaults to {*}). It is passed down for nested arrays.
dump widget args
Outputs one or more widgets by giving their configuration options. The -filter pattern is used as to filter the config options and is interpreted as a case insensitive regexp pattern (defaults to {.*}).
