Wherever the script registered with [package unknown] is programmed to look. That is, this is completely application configurable. ---- [MG] Slightly related, you can check which files were loaded/sourced by a [package] by using [package ifneeded]: (User) 1 % package require Tk 8.4 (User) 2 % package ifneeded Tk 8.4 load {C:/Program Files/Tcl/lib/tk8.4/../../bin/tk84.dll} Tk ---- Thanks to a pointer from [DGP] on Tcl chat about the use of package unknown, here is a proc to return the command that will be used to load a package ''without actually loading it''. If you do not mind the package being loaded, you could just do ''package ifneeded foo [package require foo]'' instead. ====== proc get_package_load_command {name} { # Get the command to load a package without actually loading the package # # package ifneeded can return us the command to load a package but # it needs a version number. package versions will give us that set versions [package versions $name] if {[llength $versions] == 0} { # We do not know about this package yet. Invoke package unknown # to search {*}[package unknown] $name # Check again if we found anything set versions [package versions $name] if {[llength $versions] == 0} { error "Could not find package $name" } } return [package ifneeded $name [lindex $versions 0]] } ====== ---- [Category Package] [Category Introspection]
