+.BE + +.SH DESCRIPTION +.PP +This command provides information about various internals of the Tcl +interpreter. +The legal \fIoption\fRs (which may be abbreviated) are: +.TP +\fBinfo args \fIprocname\fR +Returns a list containing the names of the arguments to procedure +\fIprocname\fR, in order. \fIProcname\fR must be the name of a +Tcl command procedure. +.TP +\fBinfo body \fIprocname\fR +Returns the body of procedure \fIprocname\fR. \fIProcname\fR must be +the name of a Tcl command procedure. +.TP +\fBinfo cmdcount\fR +Returns a count of the total number of commands that have been invoked +in this interpreter. +.TP +\fBinfo commands \fR?\fIpattern\fR? +If \fIpattern\fR is not specified, +.\" Do not move this .VS above the .TP +.VS 8.5 +returns a list of names of all the Tcl commands visible +(i.e. executable without using a qualified name) to the current namespace, +including both the built-in commands written in C and +the command procedures defined using the \fBproc\fR command. +If \fIpattern\fR is specified, +only those names matching \fIpattern\fR are returned. +Matching is determined using the same rules as for \fBstring match\fR. +\fIpattern\fR can be a qualified name like \fBFoo::print*\fR. +That is, it may specify a particular namespace +using a sequence of namespace names separated by double colons (\fB::\fR), +and may have pattern matching special characters +at the end to specify a set of commands in that namespace. +If \fIpattern\fR is a qualified name, +the resulting list of command names has each one qualified with the name +of the specified namespace, and only the commands defined in the named +namespace are returned. +.\" Technically, most of this hasn't changed; that's mostly just the +.\" way it always worked. Hardly anyone knew that though. +.VE 8.5 +.TP +\fBinfo complete \fIcommand\fR +Returns 1 if \fIcommand\fR is a complete Tcl command in the sense of +having no unclosed quotes, braces, brackets or array element names. +If the command does not appear to be complete then 0 is returned. +This command is typically used in line-oriented input environments +to allow users to type in commands that span multiple lines; if the +command is not complete, the script can delay evaluating it until additional +lines have been typed to complete the command. +.TP +\fBinfo default \fIprocname arg varname\fR +\fIProcname\fR must be the name of a Tcl command procedure and \fIarg\fR +must be the name of an argument to that procedure. If \fIarg\fR +does not have a default value then the command returns \fB0\fR. +Otherwise it returns \fB1\fR and places the default value of \fIarg\fR +into variable \fIvarname\fR. +.TP +\fBinfo exists \fIvarName\fR +Returns \fB1\fR if the variable named \fIvarName\fR exists in the +current context (either as a global or local variable) and has been +defined by being given a value, returns \fB0\fR otherwise. +.TP +\fBinfo frame\fR ?\fInumber\fR? +This command provides access to all frames on the stack, even those +hidden from \fBinfo level\fR. If \fInumber\fR is not specified, this +command returns a number giving the frame level of the command. This +is 1 if the command is invoked at top-level. If \fInumber\fR is +specified, then the result is a dictionary containing the location +information for the command at the \fInumber\fRed level on the stack. +.RS +.PP +If \fInumber\fR is positive (> 0) then it selects a particular stack +level (1 refers to the top-most active command, i.e., \fBinfo frame\fR +itself, 2 to the command it was called from, and so on); otherwise it +gives a level relative to the current command (0 refers to the current +command, i.e., \fBinfo frame\fR itself, -1 to its caller, and so on). +.PP +This is similar to how \fBinfo level\fR works, except that this +subcommand reports all frames, like \fBsource\fRd scripts, +\fBeval\fRs, \fBuplevel\fRs, etc. +.PP +Note that for nested commands, like +.QW "foo [bar [x]]" , +only +.QW x +will be seen by an \fBinfo frame\fR invoked within +.QW x . +This is the same as for \fBinfo level\fR and error stack traces. +.PP +The result dictionary may contain the keys listed below, with the +specified meanings for their values: +.TP +\fBtype\fR +This entry is always present and describes the nature of the location +for the command. The recognized values are \fBsource\fR, \fBproc\fR, +\fBeval\fR, and \fBprecompiled\fR. +.RS +.TP +\fBsource\fR\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0 +means that the command is found in a script loaded by the \fBsource\fR +command. +.TP +\fBproc\fR\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0 +means that the command is found in dynamically created procedure body. +.TP +\fBeval\fR\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0 +means that the command is executed by \fBeval\fR or \fBuplevel\fR. +.TP +\fBprecompiled\fR\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0 +means that the command is found in a precompiled script (loadable by +the package \fBtbcload\fR), and no further information will be +available. +.RE +.TP +\fBline\fR +This entry provides the number of the line the command is at inside of +the script it is a part of. This information is not present for type +\fBprecompiled\fR. For type \fBsource\fR this information is counted +relative to the beginning of the file, whereas for the last two types +the line is counted relative to the start of the script. +.TP +\fBfile\fR +This entry is present only for type \fBsource\fR. It provides the +normalized path of the file the command is in. +.TP +\fBcmd\fR +This entry provides the string representation of the command. This is +usually the unsubstituted form, however for commands which are a pure +list executed by eval it is the substituted form as they have no other +string representation. Care is taken that the pure-List property of +the latter is not spoiled. +.TP +\fBproc\fR +This entry is present only if the command is found in the body of a +regular Tcl procedure. It then provides the name of that procedure. +.TP +\fBlambda\fR +This entry is present only if the command is found in the body of an +anonymous Tcl procedure, i.e. a lambda. It then provides the entire +definition of the lambda in question. +.TP +\fBlevel\fR +This entry is present only if the queried frame has a corresponding +frame returned by \fBinfo level\fR. It provides the index of this +frame, relative to the current level (0 and negative numbers). +.PP +A thing of note is that for procedures statically defined in files the +locations of commands in their bodies will be reported with type +\fBsource\fR and absolute line numbers, and not as type +\fBproc\fR. The same is true for procedures nested in statically +defined procedures, and literal eval scripts in files or statically +defined procedures. +.PP +In contrast, a procedure definition or \fBeval\fR within a dynamically +\fBeval\fRuated environment count linenumbers relative to the start of +their script, even if they would be able to count relative to the +start of the outer dynamic script. That type of number usually makes +more sense. +.PP +A different way of describing this behaviour is that file based +locations are tracked as deeply as possible, and where this is not +possible the lines are counted based on the smallest possible +\fBeval\fR or procedure body, as that scope is usually easier to find +than any dynamic outer scope. +.PP +The syntactic form \fB{*}\fR is handled like \fBeval\fR. I.e. if it +is given a literal list argument the system tracks the linenumber +within the list words as well, and otherwise all linenumbers are +counted relative to the start of each word (smallest scope) +.RE +.TP +\fBinfo functions \fR?\fIpattern\fR? +If \fIpattern\fR is not specified, returns a list of all the math +functions currently defined. +If \fIpattern\fR is specified, only those functions whose name matches +\fIpattern\fR are returned. Matching is determined using the same +rules as for \fBstring match\fR. +.TP +\fBinfo globals \fR?\fIpattern\fR? +If \fIpattern\fR is not specified, returns a list of all the names +of currently-defined global variables. +Global variables are variables in the global namespace. +If \fIpattern\fR is specified, only those names matching \fIpattern\fR +are returned. Matching is determined using the same rules as for +\fBstring match\fR. +.TP +\fBinfo hostname\fR +Returns the name of the computer on which this invocation is being +executed. +Note that this name is not guaranteed to be the fully qualified domain +name of the host. Where machines have several different names (as is +common on systems with both TCP/IP (DNS) and NetBIOS-based networking +installed,) it is the name that is suitable for TCP/IP networking that +is returned. +.TP +\fBinfo level\fR ?\fInumber\fR? +If \fInumber\fR is not specified, this command returns a number +giving the stack level of the invoking procedure, or 0 if the +command is invoked at top-level. If \fInumber\fR is specified, +then the result is a list consisting of the name and arguments for the +procedure call at level \fInumber\fR on the stack. If \fInumber\fR +is positive then it selects a particular stack level (1 refers +to the top-most active procedure, 2 to the procedure it called, and +so on); otherwise it gives a level relative to the current level +(0 refers to the current procedure, -1 to its caller, and so on). +See the \fBuplevel\fR command for more information on what stack +levels mean. +.TP +\fBinfo library\fR +Returns the name of the library directory in which standard Tcl +scripts are stored. +This is actually the value of the \fBtcl_library\fR +variable and may be changed by setting \fBtcl_library\fR. +See the \fBtclvars\fR manual entry for more information. +.TP +\fBinfo loaded \fR?\fIinterp\fR? +Returns a list describing all of the packages that have been loaded into +\fIinterp\fR with the \fBload\fR command. +Each list element is a sub-list with two elements consisting of the +name of the file from which the package was loaded and the name of +the package. +For statically-loaded packages the file name will be an empty string. +If \fIinterp\fR is omitted then information is returned for all packages +loaded in any interpreter in the process. +To get a list of just the packages in the current interpreter, specify +an empty string for the \fIinterp\fR argument. +.TP +\fBinfo locals \fR?\fIpattern\fR? +If \fIpattern\fR is not specified, returns a list of all the names +of currently-defined local variables, including arguments to the +current procedure, if any. +Variables defined with the \fBglobal\fR, \fBupvar\fR and +\fBvariable\fR commands will not be returned. +If \fIpattern\fR is specified, only those names matching \fIpattern\fR +are returned. Matching is determined using the same rules as for +\fBstring match\fR. +.TP +\fBinfo nameofexecutable\fR +Returns the full path name of the binary file from which the application +was invoked. If Tcl was unable to identify the file, then an empty +string is returned. +.TP +\fBinfo patchlevel\fR +Returns the value of the global variable \fBtcl_patchLevel\fR; see +the \fBtclvars\fR manual entry for more information. +.TP +\fBinfo procs \fR?\fIpattern\fR? +If \fIpattern\fR is not specified, returns a list of all the +names of Tcl command procedures in the current namespace. +If \fIpattern\fR is specified, +only those procedure names in the current namespace +matching \fIpattern\fR are returned. +Matching is determined using the same rules as for +\fBstring match\fR. +If \fIpattern\fR contains any namespace separators, they are used to +select a namespace relative to the current namespace (or relative to +the global namespace if \fIpattern\fR starts with \fB::\fR) to match +within; the matching pattern is taken to be the part after the last +namespace separator. +.TP +\fBinfo script\fR ?\fIfilename\fR? +If a Tcl script file is currently being evaluated (i.e. there is a +call to \fBTcl_EvalFile\fR active or there is an active invocation +of the \fBsource\fR command), then this command returns the name +of the innermost file being processed. If \fIfilename\fR is specified, +then the return value of this command will be modified for the +duration of the active invocation to return that name. This is +useful in virtual file system applications. +Otherwise the command returns an empty string. +.TP +\fBinfo sharedlibextension\fR +Returns the extension used on this platform for the names of files +containing shared libraries (for example, \fB.so\fR under Solaris). +If shared libraries are not supported on this platform then an empty +string is returned. +.TP +\fBinfo tclversion\fR +Returns the value of the global variable \fBtcl_version\fR; see +the \fBtclvars\fR manual entry for more information. +.TP +\fBinfo vars\fR ?\fIpattern\fR? +If \fIpattern\fR is not specified, +returns a list of all the names of currently-visible variables. +This includes locals and currently-visible globals. +If \fIpattern\fR is specified, only those names matching \fIpattern\fR +are returned. Matching is determined using the same rules as for +\fBstring match\fR. +\fIpattern\fR can be a qualified name like \fBFoo::option*\fR. +That is, it may specify a particular namespace +using a sequence of namespace names separated by double colons (\fB::\fR), +and may have pattern matching special characters +at the end to specify a set of variables in that namespace. +If \fIpattern\fR is a qualified name, +the resulting list of variable names +has each matching namespace variable qualified with the name +of its namespace. +Note that a currently-visible variable may not yet +.QW exist +if it has not +been set (e.g. a variable declared but not set by \fBvariable\fR). +.SH EXAMPLE +This command prints out a procedure suitable for saving in a Tcl +script: +.PP +.CS +proc printProc {procName} { + set result [list proc $procName] + set formals {} + foreach var [\fBinfo args\fR $procName] { + if {[\fBinfo default\fR $procName $var def]} { + lappend formals [list $var $def] + } else { + # Still need the list-quoting because variable + # names may properly contain spaces. + lappend formals [list $var] + } + } + puts [lappend result $formals [\fBinfo body\fR $procName]] +} +.CE +.SH "SEE ALSO" +global(n), proc(n) +.SH KEYWORDS +command, information, interpreter, level, namespace, procedure, variable +.\" Local Variables: +.\" mode: nroff +.\" End: |
