NAME

SYNOPSIS

11       list ?arg arg ...?

DESCRIPTION

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

27
28              list a b "c d e  " "  f {g h}"
29

31
32              a b {c d e  } {  f {g h}}
33
34       while concat with the same arguments will return
