NAME

       dump - Dump information about Tcl interpreter in TkCon

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
              {.*}).
