list(n) Tcl Built-In Commands
_________________________________________________________________
NAME
list - Create a list
SYNOPSIS
list ?_a_r_g _a_r_g ...? |
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
This command returns a list comprised of all the _a_r_gs, or an |
empty string if no _a_r_gs are specified. Braces and
backslashes get added as necessary, so that the index com-
mand may be used on the result to re-extract the original
arguments, and also so that eval may be used to execute the
resulting list, with _a_r_g_1 comprising the command's name and
the other _a_r_gs comprising its arguments. List produces
slightly different results than concat: concat removes one
level of grouping before forming the list, while list works
directly from the original arguments. For example, the com-
mand
list a b {c d e} {f {g h}}
will return
a b {c d e} {f {g h}}
while concat with the same arguments will return
a b c d e f {g h}
KEYWORDS
element, list
