NAME

eval - Evaluate a Tcl script

SYNOPSIS

eval arg ?arg ...?

DESCRIPTION

Eval takes one or more arguments, which together comprise a Tcl script containing one or more commands. Eval concatenates all its arguments in the same fashion as the concat command, passes the concatenated string to the Tcl interpreter recursively, and returns the result of that evaluation (or any error generated by it).

KEYWORDS
