DESCRIPTION

16       This  command  returns  a  list  comprised of all the args, or an empty
17       string if no args are specified.  Braces and backslashes get  added  as
18       necessary,  so that the lindex command may be used on the result to re-
19       extract the original arguments, and also so that eval may  be  used  to
20       execute the resulting list, with arg1 comprising the command's name and
21       the other args comprising its arguments.  List produces  slightly  dif‐
22       ferent  results  than  concat:   concat  removes  one level of grouping
23       before forming the list, while list works directly  from  the  original
24       arguments.

EXAMPLE

27       The command
28              list a b "c d e  " "  f {g h}"
29       will return
30              a b {c d e  } {  f {g h}}
31       while concat with the same arguments will return
32              a b c d e f {g h}
