DESCRIPTION
::pkg::create is a utility procedure that is part of the standard Tcl library. It is used to create an appropriate package ifneeded com-
mand for a given package specification. It can be used to construct a pkgIndex.tcl file for use with the package mechanism.
OPTIONS
The parameters supported are:
-name packageName
This parameter specifies the name of the package. It is required.
-version packageVersion
This parameter specifies the version of the package. It is required.
-load filespec
This parameter specifies a binary library that must be loaded with the load command. filespec is a list with two elements. The
first element is the name of the file to load. The second, optional element is a list of commands supplied by loading that file.
If the list of procedures is empty or omitted, ::pkg::create will set up the library for direct loading (see pkg_mkIndex). Any num-
ber of -load parameters may be specified.
-source filespec
This parameter is similar to the -load parameter, except that it specifies a Tcl library that must be loaded with the source com-
mand. Any number of -source parameters may be specified.
