.SH NAME
tcl2c++ \- converts tcl scripts into a C++ static character array
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B tcl2c++ name [file ...]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B tcl2c++
convert the script into an EmbeddedTcl object.

The lines below expand ns-lib.tcl and create the EmbeddedTcl object 
instance called et_ns_lib:

	tclsh bin/tcl-expand.tcl tcl/lib/ns-lib.tcl |   \\                   
                ../Tcl/tcl2c++ et_ns_lib > gen/ns_tcl.cc
                
The script, ~ns/bin/tcl-expand.tcl expands ns-lib.tcl by replacing all
source lines with the corresponding source files.

The program, ~tclcl/tcl2cc.c, converts the OTcl code into an equivalent
EmbeddedTcl object, et_ns_lib.

During initialization, invoking the method EmbeddedTcl::load explicitly 
evaluates the array.
  — ~tclcl/tcl-object.tcl is evaluated by the method Tcl::init(void); 
    Tcl_AppInit() invokes Tcl::Init(). The exact command syntax for the
    load is:
           et_tclobject.load();
           
  — Similarly, ~ns/tcl/lib/ns-lib.tcl is evaluated directly by 
    Tcl_AppInit in ~ns/ns_tclsh.cc.
           et_ns_lib.load();
