In Tcl/Tk dicsussions, '''binding''' most often refers the act of associating, with the [bind] command (or the bind subcommand of a [canvas]), a Tk [event] with a [bindtag] and a script (most often a single command). Such bindings can also be made to [fileevent]s, and, in specialized extensions, to reception of data from data managers, [COM events], ... ---- There is also a more generic meaning in the theory of computer languages: Binding: (verb) is the act of resolving a name to a value in some [scope]. A Binding: (noun) is a record of such a resolution. The cmdName [Tcl_Obj] is a Binding. Tcl has several different ways to bind names which are canvassed in [scope]. ---- Shouldn't binding (verb) rather be the act of ''creating'' a binding (noun), than the act of resolving it? ---- [[[Category Glossary]]]
