This template code is for starting a typical tclsh application.
#! /bin/sh # the next line restarts using tclsh \ exec tclsh "$0" ${1+"$@"}
This is a little more sophisticated than the code suggested on the tclsh man page (see tcl), and is explained in great detail on exec magic.
Typical patterns to continue are:
* verify Tcl version requirements package require Tcl 8.4 ;# My application uses [lset] * process stdin: while {[gets stdin line]>=0} { #do something with $line } * process argv: foreach arg $argv { # do something with $arg }
