Points to the first byte of an array of UTF-8-encoded bytes
used to set or append to a string value.
This byte array may contain embedded null characters
unless \fInumChars\fR is \fBTCL_INDEX_NONE\fR.  (Applications needing null bytes
should represent them as the two-byte sequence \fI\e300\e200\fR, use
\fBTcl_ExternalToUtf\fR to convert, or \fBTcl_NewByteArrayObj\fR if
the string is a collection of uninterpreted bytes.)
.AP size_t length in
The number of bytes to copy from \fIbytes\fR when
initializing, setting, or appending to a string value.
If \fBTCL_INDEX_NONE\fR, all bytes up to the first null are used.
.AP "const Tcl_UniChar" *unicode in
Points to the first byte of an array of Unicode characters
used to set or append to a string value.
This byte array may contain embedded null characters
unless \fInumChars\fR is \fBTCL_INDEX_NONE\fR.
.AP size_t numChars in
The number of Unicode characters to copy from \fIunicode\fR when
initializing, setting, or appending to a string value.
If \fBTCL_INDEX_NONE\fR, all characters up to the first null character are used.
.AP size_t index in
The index of the Unicode character to return.
.AP size_t first in
The index of the first Unicode character in the Unicode range to be
returned as a new value. If \fBTCL_INDEX_NONE\fR, behave the same as if the
value was 0.
.AP size_t last in
The index of the last Unicode character in the Unicode range to be
returned as a new value. If \fBTCL_INDEX_NONE\fR, take all characters up to
the last one available.
.AP Tcl_Obj *objPtr in/out
Points to a value to manipulate.
.AP Tcl_Obj *appendObjPtr in
The value to append to \fIobjPtr\fR in \fBTcl_AppendObjToObj\fR.
.AP "size_t \&| int" *lengthPtr out
The location where \fBTcl_GetStringFromObj\fR will store the length
of a value's string representation. May be (int *)NULL when not used.
.AP "const char" *string in
Null-terminated string value to append to \fIobjPtr\fR.
.AP va_list argList in
An argument list which must have been initialized using
\fBva_start\fR, and cleared using \fBva_end\fR.
.AP size_t limit in
Maximum number of bytes to be appended.
.AP "const char" *ellipsis in
Suffix to append when the limit leads to string truncation.
If NULL is passed then the suffix
.QW "..."
is used.
.AP "const char" *format in
Format control string including % conversion specifiers.
.AP size_t objc in
The number of elements to format or concatenate.
.AP Tcl_Obj *objv[] in
The array of values to format or concatenate.
.AP size_t newLength in
New length for the string value of \fIobjPtr\fR, not including the
final null character.
