DESCRIPTION

       This  procedure  may be invoked to announce that a package
       has been linked statically with  a  Tcl  application  and,
       optionally, that it has already been loaded into an inter­
       preter.  Once Tcl_StaticPackage has  been  invoked  for  a
       package, it may be loaded into interpreters using the load
       command.  Tcl_StaticPackage is normally  invoked  only  by
       the  Tcl_AppInit  procedure  for  the  application, not by
       packages for themselves (Tcl_StaticPackage should only  be
       invoked  for  statically  loaded packages, and code in the
       package itself should not need to know whether the package
       is dynamically or statically loaded).

       When  the  load  command is used later to load the package
       into an interpreter, one of initProc and safeInitProc will
       be invoked, depending on whether the target interpreter is
       safe or not.  initProc and safeInitProc  must  both  match

              typedef int Tcl_PackageInitProc(Tcl_Interp *interp);
       The  interp  argument  identifies the interpreter in which
       the package is to be loaded.  The initialization procedure
       must return TCL_OK or TCL_ERROR to indicate whether or not
       it completed successfully; in the event  of  an  error  it
       should  set  the interpreter's result to point to an error
       message.  The result or error from the initialization pro­
       cedure  will be returned as the result of the load command
       that caused the initialization procedure to be invoked.
