.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fBTcl_Concat\fR is a utility procedure used by several of the
|
|
Tcl commands. Given a collection of strings, it concatenates
|
|
them together into a single string, with the original strings
|
|
separated by spaces. This procedure behaves differently than
|
|
\fBTcl_Merge\fR, in that the arguments are simply concatenated:
|
|
no effort is made to ensure proper list structure.
|
|
However, in most common usage the arguments will all be proper
|
|
lists themselves; if this is true, then the result will also have
|
|
proper list structure.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fBTcl_Concat\fR eliminates leading and trailing white space as it
|
|
copies strings from \fBargv\fR to the result. If an element of
|
|
\fBargv\fR consists of nothing but white space, then that string
|
|
is ignored entirely. This white-space removal was added to make
|
|
the output of the \fBconcat\fR command cleaner-looking.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The result string is dynamically allocated
|
|
using \fBmalloc()\fR; the caller must eventually release the space
|
|
by calling \fBfree()\fR.
