NAME¶
find - search for classes and objects
SYNOPSIS¶
itcl::find option ?
arg arg ...?
DESCRIPTION¶
The
find command is used to find classes and objects that are available
in the current interpreter. Classes and objects are reported first in the
active namespace, then in all other namespaces in the interpreter.
The
option argument determines what action is carried out by the command.
The legal
options (which may be abbreviated) are:
- find classes ?pattern?
- Returns a list of [incr Tcl] classes. Classes in the current namespace are
listed first, followed by classes in all other namespaces in the
interpreter. If the optional pattern is specified, then the
reported names are compared using the rules of the " string
match" command, and only matching names are reported.
If a class resides in the current namespace context, this command reports
its simple name--without any qualifiers. However, if the pattern
contains :: qualifiers, or if the class resides in another context,
this command reports its fully-qualified name. Therefore, you can use the
following command to obtain a list where all names are
fully-qualified:
- find objects ?pattern? ?-class className?
?-isa className?
- Returns a list of [incr Tcl] objects. Objects in the current namespace are
listed first, followed by objects in all other namespaces in the
interpreter. If the optional pattern is specified, then the
reported names are compared using the rules of the " string
match" command, and only matching names are reported. If the
optional " -class" parameter is specified, this list is
restricted to objects whose most-specific class is className. If
the optional " -isa" parameter is specified, this list is
further restricted to objects having the given className anywhere
in their heritage.
If an object resides in the current namespace context, this command reports
its simple name--without any qualifiers. However, if the pattern
contains :: qualifiers, or if the object resides in another
context, this command reports its fully-qualified name. Therefore, you can
use the following command to obtain a list where all names are
fully-qualified:
