NAME
       eval - Evaluate a Tcl script

SYNOPSIS
       eval arg ?arg ...?
_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION
       Eval  takes  one  or more arguments, which together comprise a Tcl script containing one or more commands.  Eval concatenates all its argu-
       ments in the same fashion as the concat command, passes the concatenated string to the Tcl interpreter recursively, and returns the  result
       of  that  evaluation  (or any error generated by it).  Note that the list command quotes sequences of words in such a way that they are not
       further expanded by the eval command.

KEYWORDS
