Version 2 of Tcllib Contents

Updated 2004-08-13 16:13:38 by AK

This page is a summary of (some of) the packages in the Tcllib distributions. Commands provided by each package are not listed, and we ask the reader to consult the regular documentation instead. The companion page Tcllib Location provides the information on where to find this documentation.

Note: Currently lots of commands are listed for the various packages. This is something iherited from before the restructuring of the Tcllib pages on the wiki. This will change over time, as command lists are replaced by short package descriptions.


Most of the packages have their own pages here on the Wiki as well, providing examples, discussions, tips and tricks. These pages often also refer directly to the regular documentation for that package.
