Exported functionality

Home | Packages | Files | Procedures | Keywords | External packages

Everything exported resides in lib/engine.tcl. There are 3 types of exported functionality:

• The main entrypoint, ::makedist::do.
• Procedures to query the database of vectors, like retrievers, packers and transporters (See the outline for an explanation of these terms). They are all defined in the namespace '::makedist'.
• At last, 3 utility procedures to aid in the definition of vectors. It is possible to define vectors manually, but their usage is much simpler, as they will take care of:
  • Updating the internal registry and
  • Generating a procedure with the correct name and argument list.
  In general all vectors are defined by an internal code, a string to use in interfaces and the script to execute upon request.
