First off, please start new threads in an appropriate forum. You posted this into the "Post Here to Contact Site Administrators and Moderators" I moved it to "Shell programming and scripting Q & A" Thanks.
How do you do it manually? Shell scripting is taking what you do everyday, putting it into a script so you don't have to type as much (typing the same thing every day will normally lead to errors and then more typing).
That's just a quick and simple start - note I added checking that the you must put something into parameter 1. This is where scripting becomes to be a bit more than what you do manually. When you are building a script, you have to start realizing that you are doing things you never really think of. You know when there is an error what to do - now you have to code that thinking into the script. How do you know if it was successful? You can code that in. What happens if there is an error or the file name put in as parameter 1 isn't a tar file (or is a tar file but it's compressed). I leave the rest to you to start learning. Come back and ask questions when you get stuck (but always try to find your answers first in man pages, or through a search function on sites like this).

platform::shell
platform::shell(3tcl) Tcl Bundled Packages platform::shell(3tcl)__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________NAME
platform::shell - System identification support code and utilities
SYNOPSIS
package require platform::shell ?1.1.4?
platform::shell::generic shell
platform::shell::identify shell
platform::shell::platform shell
_________________________________________________________________DESCRIPTION
The platform::shell package provides several utility commands useful for the identification of the architecture of a specific Tcl shell.
This package allows the identification of the architecture of a specific Tcl shell different from the shell running the package. The only
requirement is that the other shell (identified by its path), is actually executable on the current machine.
While for most platform this means that the architecture of the interrogated shell is identical to the architecture of the running shell
this is not generally true. A counter example are all platforms which have 32 and 64 bit variants and where a 64bit system is able to run
32bit code. For these running and interrogated shell may have different 32/64 bit settings and thus different identifiers.
For applications like a code repository it is important to identify the architecture of the shell which will actually run the installed
packages, versus the architecture of the shell running the repository software.
COMMANDS
platform::shell::identify shell
This command does the same identification as platform::identify, for the specified Tcl shell, in contrast to the running shell.
platform::shell::generic shell
This command does the same identification as platform::generic, for the specified Tcl shell, in contrast to the running shell.
platform::shell::platform shell
This command returns the contents of tcl_platform(platform) for the specified Tcl shell.
KEYWORDS
operating system, cpu architecture, platform, architecture
