DESCRIPTION

Tcl_CreateObjCommand defines a new command in interp and

associates it with procedure proc such that whenever name is

invoked as a Tcl command (e.g., via a call to Tcl_EvalObjEx)

the Tcl interpreter will call proc to process the command.

Tcl_CreateObjCommand deletes any existing command name

already associated with the interpreter (however see below for an exception where the existing command is not deleted). Tcl Last change: 8.0 2

Tcl Library Procedures Tcl_CreateObjCommand(3TCL)

It returns a token that may be used to refer to the command

in subsequent calls to Tcl_GetCommandName. If name contains

any :: namespace qualifiers, then the command is added to the specified namespace; otherwise the command is added to

the global namespace. If Tcl_CreateObjCommand is called for

an interpreter that is in the process of being deleted, then it does not create a new command and it returns NULL. proc should have arguments and result that match the type

Tcl_ObjCmdProc:

typedef int Tcl_ObjCmdProc(

ClientData clientData,

Tcl_Interp *interp,

int objc,

Tcl_Obj *CONST objv[]); |

When proc is invoked, the clientData and interp parameters | will be copies of the clientData and interp arguments given |

to Tcl_CreateObjCommand. Typically, clientData points to an |

application-specific data structure that describes what to |

do when the command procedure is invoked. Objc and objv | describe the arguments to the command, objc giving the | number of argument objects (including the command name) and | objv giving the values of the arguments. The objv array | will contain objc values, pointing to the argument objects. |

Unlike argv[argv] used in a string-based command procedure, |

objv[objc] will not contain NULL. | Additionally, when proc is invoked, it must not modify the | contents of the objv array by assigning new pointer values | to any element of the array (for example, objv[2] = NULL) | because this will cause memory to be lost and the runtime | stack to be corrupted. The CONST in the declaration of objv |

will cause ANSI-compliant compilers to report any such |

attempted assignment as an error. However, it is acceptable | to modify the internal representation of any individual | object argument. For instance, the user may call |

Tcl_GetIntFromObj on objv[2] to obtain the integer represen- |

tation of that object; that call may change the type of the | object that objv[2] points at, but will not change where | objv[2] points.

proc must return an integer code that is either TCL_OK,

TCL_ERROR, TCL_RETURN, TCL_BREAK, or TCL_CONTINUE. See the

Tcl overview man page for details on what these codes mean.

Most normal commands will only return TCL_OK or TCL_ERROR.

In addition, if proc needs to return a non-empty result, it

can call Tcl_SetObjResult to set the interpreter's result.

In the case of a TCL_OK return code this gives the result of

the command, and in the case of TCL_ERROR this gives an

error message. Before invoking a command procedure,

Tcl_EvalObjEx sets interpreter's result to point to an

object representing an empty string, so simple commands can return an empty result by doing nothing at all. Tcl Last change: 8.0 3

Tcl Library Procedures Tcl_CreateObjCommand(3TCL)

The contents of the objv array belong to Tcl and are not guaranteed to persist once proc returns: proc should not

modify them. Call Tcl_SetObjResult if you want to return

something from the objv array.

Ordinarily, Tcl_CreateObjCommand deletes any existing com-

mand name already associated with the interpreter. However, if the existing command was created by a previous call to

Tcl_CreateCommand, Tcl_CreateObjCommand does not delete the

command but instead arranges for the Tcl interpreter to call

the Tcl_ObjCmdProc proc in the future. The old string-based

Tcl_CmdProc associated with the command is retained and its

address can be obtained by subsequent Tcl_GetCommandInfo

calls. This is done for backwards compatibility. DeleteProc will be invoked when (if) name is deleted. This

can occur through a call to Tcl_DeleteCommand,

Tcl_DeleteCommandFromToken, or Tcl_DeleteInterp, or by

replacing name in another call to Tcl_CreateObjCommand.

DeleteProc is invoked before the command is deleted, and

gives the application an opportunity to release any struc-

tures associated with the command. DeleteProc should have

arguments and result that match the type Tcl_CmdDeleteProc:

typedef void Tcl_CmdDeleteProc(ClientData clientData);

The clientData argument will be the same as the clientData

argument passed to Tcl_CreateObjCommand.

Tcl_DeleteCommand deletes a command from a command inter-

preter. Once the call completes, attempts to invoke cmdName in interp will result in errors. If cmdName isn't bound as

a command in interp then Tcl_DeleteCommand does nothing and

returns -1; otherwise it returns 0. There are no restric-

tions on cmdName: it may refer to a built-in command, an

application-specific command, or a Tcl procedure. If name

contains any :: namespace qualifiers, the command is deleted from the specified namespace.

Given a token returned by Tcl_CreateObjCommand,

Tcl_DeleteCommandFromToken deletes the command from a com-

mand interpreter. It will delete a command even if that command has been renamed. Once the call completes, attempts to invoke the command in interp will result in errors. If the command corresponding to token has already been deleted

from interp then Tcl_DeleteCommand does nothing and returns

-1; otherwise it returns 0.

Tcl_GetCommandInfo checks to see whether its cmdName argu-

ment exists as a command in interp. cmdName may include :: namespace qualifiers to identify a command in a particular namespace. If the command is not found, then it returns 0. Otherwise it places information about the command in the

Tcl_CmdInfo structure pointed to by infoPtr and returns 1.

Tcl Last change: 8.0 4

Tcl Library Procedures Tcl_CreateObjCommand(3TCL)

A Tcl_CmdInfo structure has the following fields:

typedef struct Tcl_CmdInfo {

int isNativeObjectProc;

Tcl_ObjCmdProc *objProc;

ClientData objClientData;

Tcl_CmdProc *proc;

ClientData clientData;

Tcl_CmdDeleteProc *deleteProc;

ClientData deleteData;

Tcl_Namespace *namespacePtr;

} Tcl_CmdInfo;

The isNativeObjectProc field has the value 1 if

Tcl_CreateObjCommand was called to register the command; it

is 0 if only Tcl_CreateCommand was called. It allows a pro-

gram to determine whether it is faster to call objProc or proc: objProc is normally faster if isNativeObjectProc has the value 1. The fields objProc and objClientData have the same meaning as the proc and clientData arguments to

Tcl_CreateObjCommand; they hold information about the

object-based command procedure that the Tcl interpreter

calls to implement the command. The fields proc and client-

Data hold information about the string-based command pro-

cedure that implements the command. If Tcl_CreateCommand

was called for this command, this is the procedure passed to it; otherwise, this is a compatibility procedure registered

by Tcl_CreateObjCommand that simply calls the command's

object-based procedure after converting its string arguments

to Tcl objects. The field deleteData is the ClientData value to pass to deleteProc; it is normally the same as clientData but may be set independently using the

Tcl_SetCommandInfo procedure. The field namespacePtr holds

a pointer to the Tcl_Namespace that contains the command.

Tcl_GetCommandInfoFromToken is identical to

Tcl_GetCommandInfo except that it uses a command token

returned from Tcl_CreateObjCommand in place of the command

name. If the token parameter is NULL, it returns 0; other-

wise, it returns 1 and fills in the structure designated by infoPtr.

Tcl_SetCommandInfo is used to modify the procedures and

ClientData values associated with a command. Its cmdName argument is the name of a command in interp. cmdName may include :: namespace qualifiers to identify a command in a particular namespace. If this command does not exist then

Tcl_SetCommandInfo returns 0. Otherwise, it copies the

information from *infoPtr to Tcl's internal structure for the command and returns 1.

Tcl_SetCommandInfoFromToken is identical to

Tcl_SetCommandInfo except that it takes a command token as

returned by Tcl_CreateObjCommand instead of the command

Tcl Last change: 8.0 5

Tcl Library Procedures Tcl_CreateObjCommand(3TCL)

name. If the token parameter is NULL, it returns 0. Other-

wise, it copies the information from *infoPtr to Tcl's internal structure for the command and returns 1.

Note that Tcl_SetCommandInfo and Tcl_SetCommandInfoFromToken

both allow the ClientData for a command's deletion procedure to be given a different value than the ClientData for its command procedure.

Note that neither Tcl_SetCommandInfo nor

Tcl_SetCommandInfoFromToken will change a command's

namespace. Use Tcl_Eval to call the rename command to do

that.

Tcl_GetCommandName provides a mechanism for tracking com-

mands that have been renamed. Given a token returned by

Tcl_CreateObjCommand when the command was created,

Tcl_GetCommandName returns the string name of the command.

If the command has been renamed since it was created, then

Tcl_GetCommandName returns the current name. This name does

not include any :: namespace qualifiers. The command corresponding to token must not have been deleted. The

string returned by Tcl_GetCommandName is in dynamic memory

owned by Tcl and is only guaranteed to retain its value as long as the command isn't deleted or renamed; callers should copy the string if they need to keep it for a long time.

Tcl_GetCommandFullName produces the fully-qualified name of

a command from a command token. The name, including all namespace prefixes, is appended to the object specified by objPtr.

Tcl_GetCommandFromObj returns a token for the command speci-

fied by the name in a Tcl_Obj. The command name is resolved

relative to the current namespace. Returns NULL if the com-

mand is not found.
