DESCRIPTION

       This package provides a number of commands for the convenient creation of Tcl interpreters
       for highly restricted execution.

API

::interp::createEmpty ?path?
This commands creates an empty Tcl interpreter and returns it name. Empty means
that the new interpreter has neither namespaces, nor any commands. It is useful
only for the creation of aliases.

If a path is specified then it is taken as the name of the new interpreter.

::interp::snitLink path methodlist
This command assumes that it was called from within a method of a snit object, and
that the command mymethod is available.

It extends the interpreter specified by path with aliases for all methods found in
the methodlist, with the alias directing execution to the same-named method of the
snit object invoking this command. Each element of methodlist is actually
interpreted as a command prefix, with the first word of each prefix the name of the
method to link to.

The result of the command is the empty string.

::interp::snitDictLink path methoddict
This command behaves like ::interp::snitLink, except that it takes a dictionary
mapping from commands to methods as its input, and not a list of methods. Like for
::interp::snitLink the method references are actually command prefixes. This
command allows the creation of more complex command-method mappings than
::interp::snitLink.

The result of the command is the empty string.
