DESCRIPTION

       ::pkg::create is a utility procedure that is part of the standard Tcl library.  It is used
       to create an appropriate package ifneeded command for a given package  specification.   It
       can be used to construct a pkgIndex.tcl file for use with the package mechanism.

OPTIONS

       The parameters supported are:

       -name packageName
              This parameter specifies the name of the package.  It is required.

       -version packageVersion
              This parameter specifies the version of the package.  It is required.

       -load filespec
              This  parameter  specifies  a  binary  library  that  must  be loaded with the load
              command.  filespec is a list with two elements.  The first element is the  name  of
              the  file  to load.  The second, optional element is a list of commands supplied by
              loading that file.  If the list of procedures is empty  or  omitted,  ::pkg::create
              will  set up the library for direct loading (see pkg_mkIndex).  Any number of -load
              parameters may be specified.

       -source filespec
              This parameter is similar to the -load parameter, except that it  specifies  a  Tcl
              library  that  must  be  loaded  with  the  source  command.  Any number of -source
              parameters may be specified.

       At least one -load or -source parameter must be given.
