list(3tcl)

NAME

   list - Create a list

SYNOPSIS

   list ?arg arg ...?
______________________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

   This  command  returns  a  list  comprised of all the args, or an empty
   string if no args are specified.  Braces and backslashes get  added  as
   necessary,  so that the lindex command may be used on the result to re-
   extract the original arguments, and also so that eval may  be  used  to
   execute the resulting list, with arg1 comprising the command's name and
   the other  args  comprising  its  arguments.   List  produces  slightly
   different  results  than  concat:  concat removes one level of grouping
   before forming the list, while list works directly  from  the  original
   arguments.

EXAMPLE

   The command
          list a b "c d e  " "  f {g h}"
   will return
          a b {c d e  } {  f {g h}}
   while concat with the same arguments will return
          a b c d e f {g h}
