pkg::create - Construct an appropriate 'package ifneeded' command for a given
package specification
::pkg::create -name packageName -version
packageVersion ?
-load 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.
