# Specification and Documentation

The following commands, which will all be documented in the **tk::mac** section of the Tk man page, will be added with this TIP: 

## ::tk::mac::PerformService

Executes a Tcl procedure called from the macOS "Services" menu by another application in the Apple menu item. The "Services" menu item allows for inter-application communication; data from one application, such as selected text, can be sent to another application for processing, for example to Safari as a search item for Google, or to TextEdit to be appended to a file. An example this procedure is below and should should be rewritten in an application script for customization, which will allow a Tk application to expose "Service" functionality to other programs:

		$w insert end $data
