Mac OS X: volume control

2018-5-18 : Now available on SourceForge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/volume-controls-cmdline/files/

bll 2017-2-16: The Swift version does not work with tclkits due to incorrect linkage with the tclStub library.

Example Usage

load [file join [pwd] macvolume[info sharedlibextension]]
set vol [macvolume] ; # get the volume
incr vol -10
set newvol [macvolume $vol] ; # set the volume, always returns the current volume.
