Tcl Built-In Commands                                    list(1T)





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  com-
     mand  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}
