::pkg::create is a utility procedure that is part of the standard Tcl
library. It is used to create an appropriate package ifneeded
command for a given package specification. It can be used to construct a
pkgIndex.tcl file for use with the package mechanism.
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
number 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 command. Any number of -source parameters may be
specified.
At least one -load or -source parameter must be given.
