NAME

       list - Create a list

SYNOPSIS

       list ?arg arg ...?
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       This  command  returns  a  list  comprised  of all the args, or an empty string if no args are specified.
       Braces and backslashes get added as necessary, so that the lindex command may be used on  the  result  to
       re-extract  the original arguments, and also so that eval may be used to execute the resulting list, with
       arg1 comprising the command's name and the other args comprising its arguments.  List  produces  slightly
       different  results than concat:  concat removes one level of grouping before forming the list, while list
       works directly from the original arguments.

EXAMPLE

       The command

              list a b "c d e  " "  f {g h}"

       will return

              a b {c d e  } {  f {g h}}

       while concat with the same arguments will return

              a b c d e f {g h}
