Description
"Library" means different things here, all different from the popular concept "a building with many books inside":
- Tcl and Tk both are delivered as shared libraries.
- In a typical distribution, there is a lib dir, which contains directories like tcl8.3 and tk8.3, which contain Tcl scripts and other packages.
- A popular Tcl-only extension is Tcllib, the "Tcl library", and its young brother Tklib
