DESCRIPTION

       This  command  is considered obsolete, but is retained for
       backward-compatibility   with    earlier    versions    of
       [incr Tcl].   It  has  been replaced by the "find classes"
       and "find objects" commands, which should be used for  any
       new development.

       The  following commands are available in the global names­
       pace to query information about classes and  objects  that
       have been created.

       itcl_info classes ?pattern?
              Returns  a list of classes available in the current
              namespace context.  If a class belongs to the  cur­ |
              rent   namespace   context,   its  simple  name  is |
              reported; otherwise, if a class  is  imported  from |
              another  namespace,  its  fully-qualified  name  is |
              reported.

              If the optional  pattern  is  specified,  then  the
              reported  names are compared using the rules of the
              "string match" command, and only matching names are
              reported.

       itcl_info objects ?pattern? ?-class className? ?-isa
              className?
              Returns a list of objects available in the  current
              namespace  context.   If  an  object belongs to the |
              current  namespace  context,  its  simple  name  is |
              reported;  otherwise, if an object is imported from |
              another namespace, its fully-qualified access  com­ |
              mand is reported.

              If  the  optional  pattern  is  specified, then the
              reported names are compared using the rules of  the
              "string match" command, and only matching names are
              reported.  If the optional  "-class"  parameter  is
              specified, this list is restricted to objects whose
              most-specific class is className.  If the  optional
              "-isa" parameter is specified, this list is further

              anywhere in their heritage.
