DESCRIPTION

       ::pkg::create  is  a utility procedure that is part of the
       standard Tcl library.  It is used to create an appropriate
       package  ifneeded  command  for a given package specifica­
       tion.  It can be used to construct a pkgIndex.tcl file for
       use with the package mechanism.


OPTIONS

       The parameters supported are:

       -name packageName
              This  parameter  specifies the name of the package.
              It is required.

       -version packageVersion
              This parameter specifies the version of  the  pack­
              age.  It is required.

       -load filespec
              This parameter specifies a binary library that must
              be loaded with the load  command.   filespec  is  a
              list  with  two elements.  The first element is the
              name of the file to  load.   The  second,  optional
              element  is  a list of commands supplied by loading
              that file.  If the list of procedures is  empty  or
              omitted,  ::pkg::create will set up the library for
              direct loading (see pkg_mkIndex).   Any  number  of
              -load parameters may be specified.

       -source filespec
              This  parameter  is similar to the -load parameter,
              except that it specifies a Tcl library that must be
              loaded  with  the  source  command.   Any number of
              -source parameters may be specified.

       At least one -load or -source paramter must be given.
