[davidw]: It would be nice to see at least a simple example included for all Tcl man pages (or at the very least point to another page including an example). Here is the current state of things: ---- '''Files with examples:''' after.n array.n bgerror.n catch.n encoding.n fcopy.n fileevent.n foreach.n gets.n http.n lappend.n lassign.n lindex.n linsert.n llength.n lrange.n lrepeat.n lreplace.n lsearch.n lset.n lsort.n open.n read.n return.n socket.n subst.n '''Files without examples:''' Tcl.n append.n binary.n break.n case.n cd.n clock.n concat.n continue.n dde.n dict.n eof.n error.n eval.n exec.n exit.n expr.n fblocked.n fconfigure.n file.n filename.n flush.n for.n format.n glob.n global.n history.n if.n incr.n info.n interp.n join.n library.n list.n load.n memory.n msgcat.n namespace.n package.n packagens.n pid.n pkgMkIndex.n proc.n puts.n pwd.n re_syntax.n regexp.n registry.n regsub.n rename.n safe.n scan.n seek.n set.n source.n split.n string.n switch.n tcltest.n tclvars.n tell.n time.n trace.n unknown.n unload.n unset.n update.n uplevel.n upvar.n variable.n vwait.n while.n ---- These are automatically generated (script below). Some of these do have examples, such as msgcat and tcltest. Others sort of do, but a functional bit of code that runs and demonstrates the command is always welcome. '''Exception List''': The list of files that really do have (good) examples: binary.n msgcat.n tcltest.n. and the list of files that describe commands that are too simple to really need examples (or that have them elsewhere): cd.n close.n Adding an example doesn't take much time, and lots are already available on the wiki. All you have to do is submit a patch to sourceforge. The man page markup looks like this: .SH "EXAMPLES" A time server: .CS proc Server { channel clientaddr clientport } { puts "Connection from $clientaddr registered" puts $channel [clock format [clock seconds]] close $channel } socket -server Server 9900 vwait forever .CE I used this code to check: package require fileutil package require struct foreach res [fileutil::grep ".SH.*EXAMPLE" [glob *.n]] { lappend examplefiles [lindex [split $res :] 0] } set examplefiles [lsort $examplefiles] set allfiles [lsort [glob *.n]] set noexamplefiles [lsort [struct::set difference $allfiles $examplefiles]] puts "Files with examples: $examplefiles" puts "" puts "Files without examples: $noexamplefiles" ---- [Category Documentation]
