Chapter 2: Common Tcl Extensions
Although originally intended as a simple tool command language, Tcl was designed to be easily extensible by means of procedures that can bind to compiled C routines.
Soon Tcl became kind of a cult, as programmers around the globe implemented and made available extension libraries for different purposes. Although these libraries are still called extensions because they are not part of the Tcl language itself, many extension packages have become so closely associated with Tcl that they are considered almost a standard Tcl feature.
This chapter provides a brief introduction to the commonly available extension packages that are included with SGITCL.
