#15623: guide (trunk) Documentation missing for several Tcl extenstions (pextlib1.0) -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: febeling@macports.org | Owner: markd@macports.org Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Website & Documentation Component: guide | Version: 1.6.0 Keywords: | -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Many of the Pextlib commands are undocumented, among them prominent ones like "system". {{{ system flock readdir strsed mkstemp mktemp md5 fs-traverse filemap rpm-vercomp rmd160 sha1 compat umask sudo mkfifo unixsocketpair mkchannelfromfd pipe curl symlink unsetenv readline rl_history getuid geteuid getgid getegid setuid seteuid setgid setegid name_to_uid uid_to_name name_to_gid gid_to_name tracelib }}} See the definition of the extension here: http://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/base/src/pextlib1.0/Pextlib.c#L1167 The list is compiled by copying those minus the ones which actually are documented here in the guide. http://guide.macports.org/#reference.tcl-extensions Not sure if some of these should stay undocumented because they are rather implementation detail or "private", but most look quite generally applicable.
