find(3itcl) [incr Tcl] find(3itcl) 





NAME


find - search for classes and objects






SYNOPSIS


itcl::find option ?arg arg ...?










DESCRIPTION


The find command is used to find classes and objects that
    are available in the current interpreter. Classes and objects are reported
    first in the active namespace, then in all other namespaces in the
    interpreter.


The option argument determines what action is carried out
    by the command. The legal options (which may be abbreviated) are:



  

  
Returns a list of [incr Tcl] classes. Classes in the current namespace are
      listed first, followed by classes in all other namespaces in the
      interpreter. 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 a class resides in the current namespace context, this
        command reports its simple name--without any qualifiers. However, if the
        pattern contains :: qualifiers, or if the class resides in
        another context, this command reports its fully-qualified name.
        Therefore, you can use the following command to obtain a list where all
        names are fully-qualified:

  






itcl::find classes ::*





  

  
Returns a list of [incr Tcl] objects. Objects in the current namespace are
      listed first, followed by objects in all other namespaces in the
      interpreter. 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 restricted to objects having the given className anywhere
      in their heritage.
    
If an object resides in the current namespace context, this
        command reports its simple name--without any qualifiers. However, if the
        pattern contains :: qualifiers, or if the object resides
        in another context, this command reports its fully-qualified name.
        Therefore, you can use the following command to obtain a list where all
        names are fully-qualified:

  






itcl::find objects ::*
