SYNOPSIS

       dump method ?-nocomplain? ?-filter pattern? ?--? pattern ?pattern ...?

_________________________________________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       The  dump  command  provides  a  way  for the user to spit out state information about the
       interpreter in a Tcl readable (and human readable) form.  It takes the general form:

       dump method ?-nocomplain? ?-filter pattern? ?--? pattern ?pattern ...?

       The patterns represent glob-style patterns (as in string match pattern $str).  -nocomplain
       will  prevent  dump  from  throwing  an error if no items matched the pattern.  -filter is
       interpreted as appropriate for the method.  The various methods are:

       dump command args
              Outputs one or more commands.

       dump procedure args
              Outputs one or more procs in sourceable form.

       dump variable args
              Outputs the values of variables in sourceable form.  Recognizes nested arrays.  The
              -filter  pattern  is used as to filter array element names and is interepreted as a
              glob pattern (defaults to {*}).  It is passed down for nested arrays.

       dump widget args
              Outputs one or more widgets by giving their  configuration  options.   The  -filter
              pattern  is  used  as  to  filter  the  config options and is interpreted as a case
              insensitive regexp pattern (defaults to {.*}).
