NAME

       Tcl_StaticPackage - make a statically linked package available via the load command

SYNOPSIS

       #include <tcl.h>

       Tcl_StaticPackage(interp, pkgName, initProc, safeInitProc)

ARGUMENTS

       Tcl_Interp	     *interp	     (in)      If not NULL, points to an interpreter into which the package has already been loaded (i.e.,
						       the caller has already invoked the appropriate initialization procedure).  NULL	means  the
						       package hasn't yet been incorporated into any interpreter.

       CONST char	     *pkgName	     (in)      Name  of  the package;  should be properly capitalized (first letter upper-case, all others
						       lower-case).

       Tcl_PackageInitProc   *initProc	     (in)      Procedure to invoke to incorporate this package into a trusted interpreter.

       Tcl_PackageInitProc   *safeInitProc   (in)      Procedure to call to incorporate this package into a safe interpreter (one that	will  exe-
						       cute untrusted scripts).   NULL means the package can't be used in safe interpreters.

DESCRIPTION

       This  procedure	may  be  invoked to announce that a package has been linked statically with a Tcl application and, optionally, that it has
       already been loaded into an interpreter.  Once Tcl_StaticPackage has been invoked for a package, it may be loaded into  interpreters  using
       the  load  command.  Tcl_StaticPackage is normally invoked only by the Tcl_AppInit procedure for the application, not by packages for them-
       selves (Tcl_StaticPackage should only be invoked for statically loaded packages, and code in the package itself should  not  need  to  know
       whether the package is dynamically or statically loaded).

       When the load command is used later to load the package into an interpreter, one of initProc and safeInitProc will be invoked, depending on
       whether the target interpreter is safe or not.  initProc and safeInitProc must both match the following prototype:
	      typedef int Tcl_PackageInitProc(Tcl_Interp *interp);
       The interp argument identifies the interpreter in which the package is to be loaded.  The initialization procedure must	return	TCL_OK	or
       TCL_ERROR to indicate whether or not it completed successfully; in the event of an error it should set the interpreter's result to point to
       an error message.  The result or error from the initialization procedure will be returned as the result of the load command that caused the
       initialization procedure to be invoked.
