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.
