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 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 of the package. It is required.

−load filespec

This parameter specifies a binary library that must be loaded with the load command. filespec 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, ::pkg::create will set 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 command. Any number of −source parameters may be specified.
