Tcl_Namespace(3) Tcl Library Procedures Tcl_Namespace(3) ______________________________________________________________________________ NAME Tcl_AppendExportList, Tcl_CreateNamespace, Tcl_DeleteNamespace, Tcl_Ex- port, Tcl_FindCommand, Tcl_FindNamespace, Tcl_ForgetImport, Tcl_GetCur- rentNamespace, Tcl_GetGlobalNamespace, Tcl_GetNamespaceUnknownHandler, Tcl_Import, Tcl_SetNamespaceUnknownHandler - manipulate namespaces SYNOPSIS #include <tcl.h> Tcl_Namespace * Tcl_CreateNamespace(interp, name, clientData, deleteProc) Tcl_DeleteNamespace(nsPtr) int Tcl_AppendExportList(interp, nsPtr, objPtr) int Tcl_Export(interp, nsPtr, pattern, resetListFirst) int Tcl_Import(interp, nsPtr, pattern, allowOverwrite) int Tcl_ForgetImport(interp, nsPtr, pattern) Tcl_Namespace * Tcl_GetCurrentNamespace(interp) Tcl_Namespace * Tcl_GetGlobalNamespace(interp) Tcl_Namespace * Tcl_FindNamespace(interp, name, contextNsPtr, flags) Tcl_Command Tcl_FindCommand(interp, name, contextNsPtr, flags) Tcl_Obj * Tcl_GetNamespaceUnknownHandler(interp, nsPtr) int Tcl_SetNamespaceUnknownHandler(interp, nsPtr, handlerPtr) ARGUMENTS Tcl_Interp *interp (in/out) The interpreter in which the name- space exists and where name lookups are performed. Also where error result messages are written. const char *name (in) The name of the namespace or com- mand to be created or accessed. ClientData clientData (in) A context pointer by the creator of the namespace. Not interpreted by Tcl at all. Tcl_NamespaceDeleteProc *deleteProc (in) A pointer to func- tion to call when the namespace is deleted, or NULL if no such call- back is to be per- formed. Tcl_Namespace *nsPtr (in) The namespace to be manipulated, or NULL (for other than Tcl_Delete- Namespace) to ma- nipulate the cur- rent namespace. Tcl_Obj *objPtr (out) A reference to an unshared value to which the function output will be written. const char *pattern (in) The glob-style pattern (see Tcl_StringMatch) that describes the commands to be im- ported or ex- ported. int resetListFirst (in) Whether the list of export patterns should be reset before adding the current pattern to it. int allowOverwrite (in) Whether new com- mands created by this import action can overwrite ex- isting commands. Tcl_Namespace *contextNsPtr (in) The location in the namespace hi- erarchy where the search for a name- space or command should be con- ducted relative to when the search term is not rooted at the global namespace. NULL indicates the cur- rent namespace. int flags (in) OR-ed combination of bits control- ling how the search is to be performed. The following flags are supported: TCL_GLOBAL_ONLY (indicates that the search is al- ways to be con- ducted relative to the global name- space), TCL_NAME- SPACE_ONLY (just for Tcl_FindCom- mand; indicates that the search is always to be con- ducted relative to the context name- space), and TCL_LEAVE_ERR_MSG (indicates that an error message should be left in the interpreter if the search fails.) Tcl_Obj *handlerPtr (in) A script fragment to be installed as the unknown com- mand handler for the namespace, or NULL to reset the handler to its de- fault. ______________________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION Namespaces are hierarchic naming contexts that can contain commands and variables. They also maintain a list of patterns that describes what commands are exported, and can import commands that have been exported by other namespaces. Namespaces can also be manipulated through the Tcl command namespace. The Tcl_Namespace structure encapsulates a namespace, and is guaranteed to have the following fields in it: name (the local name of the name- space, with no namespace separator characters in it, with empty denot- ing the global namespace), fullName (the fully specified name of the namespace), clientData, deleteProc (the values specified in the call to Tcl_CreateNamespace), and parentPtr (a pointer to the containing name- space, or NULL for the global namespace.) Tcl_CreateNamespace creates a new namespace. The deleteProc will have the following type signature: typedef void Tcl_NamespaceDeleteProc( ClientData clientData); Tcl_DeleteNamespace deletes a namespace, calling the deleteProc defined for the namespace (if any). Tcl_AppendExportList retrieves the export patterns for a namespace given namespace and appends them (as list items) to objPtr. Tcl_Export sets and appends to the export patterns for a namespace. Patterns are appended unless the resetListFirst flag is true. Tcl_Import imports commands matching a pattern into a namespace. Note that the pattern must include the name of the namespace to import from. This function returns TCL_ERROR if an attempt to import a command over an existing command is made, unless the allowOverwrite flag has been set. Tcl_ForgetImport removes imports matching a pattern. Tcl_GetCurrentNamespace returns the current namespace for an inter- preter. Tcl_GetGlobalNamespace returns the global namespace for an interpreter. Tcl_FindNamespace searches for a namespace named name within the con- text of the namespace contextNsPtr. If the namespace cannot be found, NULL is returned. Tcl_FindCommand searches for a command named name within the context of the namespace contextNsPtr. If the command cannot be found, NULL is returned. Tcl_GetNamespaceUnknownHandler returns the unknown command handler for the namespace, or NULL if none is set. Tcl_SetNamespaceUnknownHandler sets the unknown command handler for the namespace. If handlerPtr is NULL, then the handler is reset to its de- fault. SEE ALSO Tcl_CreateCommand(3), Tcl_ListObjAppendList(3), Tcl_SetVar(3) KEYWORDS namespace, command Tcl 8.5 Tcl_Namespace(3)
