tcl7.6 User Commands - delete






NAME

     delete - delete things in the interpreter


SYNOPSIS

     delete option ?arg arg ...?





DESCRIPTION

     The delete command is used to delete things  in  the  inter-
     preter.  It is implemented as an ensemble, so extensions can
     add their own options and extend the behavior of  this  com-
     mand.   By  default, the delete command handles the destruc-
     tion of namespaces.

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

     delete namespace name ?name...?
          Deletes one  or  more  namespaces  called  name.   This
          deletes  all  commands  and variables in the namespace,
          and deletes all  child  namespaces  as  well.   When  a
          namespace  is deleted, it is automatically removed from
          the import lists of all other namespaces.
