tcl7.6 User Commands - private
NAME
private - create commands/variables with "private" access
SYNOPSIS
private command ?arg arg ...?
DESCRIPTION
Sets the protection level for new commands/variables to
"private" and then evaluates the remaining arguments. Note
that the default protection level for commands/variables is
"public". Commands and variables can also be "protected".
The command argument may be a command name like proc or
variable, or a script full of command/variable declarations.
Any command that creates another command or variable can be
used in conjunction with the private command. For example,
if widget commands are executed via "private", the widget
access commands will be private.
Private commands/variables are only accessible in the
namespace where they are defined.
EXAMPLE
namespace foo {
private {
variable x 0
variable y 1
}
private proc check {} {
global x y
return "$x $y"
}
}
namespace foo { ;# access allowed
check
}
foo::check ;# access denied
