source(n) Tcl Built-In Commands
_________________________________________________________________
NAME
source - Evaluate a file as a Tcl script
SYNOPSIS
source _f_i_l_e_N_a_m_e
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
Read file _f_i_l_e_N_a_m_e and pass the contents to the Tcl inter-
preter as a script to evaluate in the normal fashion. The
return value from source is the return value of the last
command executed from the file. If an error occurs in
evaluating the contents of the file then the source command
will return that error. If a return command is invoked from
within the file then the remainder of the file will be
skipped and the source command will return normally with the
result from the return command. If _f_i_l_e_N_a_m_e starts with a
tilde, then it is tilde-substituted as described in the
Tcl_TildeSubst manual entry.
