NAME

list - Create a list

SYNOPSIS

list ?arg arg ...?



 


DESCRIPTION

This command returns a list comprised of all the args, or an empty string
  if no args are specified. Braces and backslashes get added as
  necessary, so that the lindex command may be used on the result to
  re-extract the original arguments, and also so that eval may be used to
  execute the resulting list, with arg1 comprising the command's name and
  the other args comprising its arguments. List produces slightly
  different results than concat: concat removes one level of
  grouping before forming the list, while list works directly from the
  original arguments.

EXAMPLE

The command





list a b "c d e  " "  f {g h}"






will return





a b {c d e  } {  f {g h}}






while concat with the same arguments will return





a b c d e f {g h}
