man clig_Commandline (Conventions) - declare variable to store concatenated argv

NAME

::clig::Commandline - declare variable to store concatenated argv

SYNOPSIS

package require clig
namespace import ::clig::*
setSpec db

Commandline varname

DESCRIPTION

The command Commandline records in the database db specified in the most recent call to setSpec the name varname of a variable to be set the concatenated elements of the command line by a clig-parser.

Example

With a declaration like 

  Commandline tool

a C-program calling 

   Cmdline *cmd = parseCmdline(argc, argv);

will find in cmd->tool all elements of argv joined into one string with intervening blanks.

BUG

This even works with the command line parser for Tcl, ::clig::parseCmdline, although in contrast to C it is rather useless in Tcl.
