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:
- find classes ?pattern?
- 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 ::*
- find objects ?pattern? ?-class
className? ? -isa className?
- 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 ::*
