pkg::create - Construct an appropriate 'package ifneeded' command for a given
package specification
::pkg::create -name packageName -version packageVersion
?-load filespec? ... ?-source filespec? ...
::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.
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.
At least one -load or -source parameter must be
given.
