NAME¶
interp - Interp creation and aliasing
SYNOPSIS¶
package require
Tcl 8.3
package require
interp ?0.1.2?
::interp::createEmpty ?
path?
::interp::snitLink path methodlist
::interp::snitDictLink path methoddict
DESCRIPTION¶
This package provides a number of commands for the convenient creation of Tcl
interpreters for highly restricted execution.
API¶
- ::interp::createEmpty ?path?
- This commands creates an empty Tcl interpreter and returns it name. Empty
means that the new interpreter has neither namespaces, nor any commands.
It is useful only for the creation of aliases.
If a path is specified then it is taken as the name of the new
interpreter.
- ::interp::snitLink path methodlist
- This command assumes that it was called from within a method of a snit
object, and that the command mymethod is available.
It extends the interpreter specified by path with aliases for all
methods found in the methodlist, with the alias directing execution
to the same-named method of the snit object invoking this command. Each
element of methodlist is actually interpreted as a command prefix,
with the first word of each prefix the name of the method to link to.
The result of the command is the empty string.
- ::interp::snitDictLink path methoddict
- This command behaves like ::interp::snitLink, except that it takes
a dictionary mapping from commands to methods as its input, and not a list
of methods. Like for ::interp::snitLink the method references are
actually command prefixes. This command allows the creation of more
complex command-method mappings than ::interp::snitLink.
The result of the command is the empty string.
