DESCRIPTION

20       This  package  provides  a  forward-compatibility implementation of Tcl
21       8.6's throw command (TIP 329), for  Tcl  8.5.  The  code  was  directly
22       pulled from Tcl 8.6 revision ?, when try/finally was implemented as Tcl
23       procedure instead of in C.
24
25       ::throw error_code error_message
26              throw is merely a reordering of the arguments of the error  com‐
27              mand. It throws an error with the indicated error code and error
28              message.

EXAMPLES

31              throw {MYERROR CODE} "My error message"
