These functions are used to initialize Extended Tcl and applications
based on Extended Tcl.
IMPORTANT NOTE: libtclx.a must be specified on the link command line
before libtcl.a. If the order is reversed, incorrect command line
parsing code will be used.
tclAppName
The application name to be returned by the infox command. This should be
a short mnemonic. This value maybe altered from the default by the
application.
tclAppLongname
The application long name to be returned by the infox command. This
should be a natural language string. This value maybe altered from the
default by the application.

tclAppVersion
The application version string to be returned by the infox command.
procedures are called. This value maybe altered from the default by the
application.
tclAppPatchlevel
The application patchlevel to be returned by the infox command.
procedures are called. This value maybe altered from the default by the
application.
tclX_library
The path to the TclX runtime library. This directory contains the
initialization file evaluated by TclX_Init and is also appended to
auto_path. This variable is initialized to the compile-time specified
install location. The value maybe modified before TclX_Init or
TclXLib_Init are called to use another library in a particular
application. If its set to NULL, no library will be used unless override
by tclX_libraryEnv. Setting tclX_libraryEnv and this variable to NULL
causes no library directory or initialization file to be used.
tclX_libraryEnv
Environment variable used to override the path stored in tclX_library.
The value maybe modified before TclX_Init or TclXLib_Init are called to
use another environment variable for a particular application. If its
set to NULL, no environment variable will allow to override. Defaults to
"TCL_LIBRARY".
tclX_initFile
The initialization file for TclX_Init to source. By default the file
"TclInit.tcl" in the TclX library directory is sourced. If set to an
absolute path, it is not assumed to be in the TclX library directory and
is independent of a library path being specified. If set to NULL, not
initialization file is evaluated.
Tcl_AppInit [Toc] [Back]
This function is used to initialize an TclX based application. It is
intended to the the only file that is modified for most applications.
There are two versions of this function, one for applications built on
just TclX and the other for applications built on TclX and Tk.
The TclX version of this function is found in tclXAppInit.c and the Tk
version is found in tkXAppInit.c. It should be modified according to the
instructions in these files to initialize a TclX based application.
A custom application is then linked in a manner similar to:
cc tclXAppInit.o mystuff.a libtclx.a libtcl.a ${SYSLIBS} -o myapp
or
cc tkXAppInit.o mystuff.a libtkx.a libtk.a libtclx.a libtcl.a \
${SYSLIBS} -o myapp

TclX_Init [Toc] [Back]
Initializes Extended Tcl, adding the extended command set to the
interpreter. This is called from Tcl_AppInit.
Parameters
o interp - A pointer to the interpreter to add the commands to.
Returns:
TCL_OK if all is ok, TCL_ERROR if an error occurred.
TclXCmd_Init [Toc] [Back]
Add the TclX command set to the interpreter, with the exception of the
TclX library management commands. This is normally called by TclX_Init
and should only be used if you don't want the TclX library handling.
Parameters
o interp - A pointer to the interpreter to add the commands to.
Returns:
TCL_OK if all is ok, TCL_ERROR if an error occurred.
TclXLib_Init [Toc] [Back]
Add the TclX library management commands to the interpreter. This is
normally called by TclX_Init. It also sets the Tcl variable
"tclx_library" to TclX library directory.
Parameters
o interp - A pointer to the interpreter to add the commands to.
Returns:
TCL_OK if all is ok, TCL_ERROR if an error occurred.
TclX_Main [Toc] [Back]
This function parses the command line according to the TclX shell
specification. It creates an interpreter and calls the specified
function appInitProc to initialize any application specific commands. It
then either evaluates the command of script specified on the command line
or enters an interactive command loop. This procedure never returns, it
exits the process when it's done.
