DESCRIPTION

24       This  package provides a number of commands for the convenient creation
25       of Tcl interpreters for highly restricted execution.
26

API

28       ::interp::createEmpty ?path?
29              This commands creates an empty Tcl interpreter  and  returns  it
30              name.  Empty  means  that the new interpreter has neither names‐
31              paces, nor any commands. It is useful only for the  creation  of
32              aliases.
33
34              If  a  path is specified then it is taken as the name of the new
35              interpreter.
36
37       ::interp::snitLink path methodlist
38              This command assumes that it was called from within a method  of
39              a snit object, and that the command mymethod is available.
40
41              It  extends  the  interpreter specified by path with aliases for
42              all methods found in the methodlist, with  the  alias  directing
43              execution  to  the same-named method of the snit object invoking
44              this command.  Each element of  methodlist  is  actually  inter‐
45              preted  as  a command prefix, with the first word of each prefix
46              the name of the method to link to.
47
48              The result of the command is the empty string.
49
50       ::interp::snitDictLink path methoddict
51              This command behaves like  ::interp::snitLink,  except  that  it
52              takes  a  dictionary  mapping  from  commands  to methods as its
53              input, and not a list of methods.  Like  for  ::interp::snitLink
54              the  method references are actually command prefixes.  This com‐
55              mand allows the creation of more complex command-method mappings
56              than ::interp::snitLink.
57
58              The result of the command is the empty string.
