DESCRIPTION

       ::pkg::create  is  a utility procedure that is part of the standard Tcl library.  It is used to create an
       appropriate package ifneeded command for a given package specification.  It can be used  to  construct  a
       pkgIndex.tcl file for use with the package mechanism.

OPTIONS

       The parameters supported are:

       -name packageName
              This parameter specifies the name of the package.  It is required.

       -version packageVersion
              This parameter specifies the version of the package.  It is required.

       -load filespec
              This  parameter specifies a library that must be loaded with the load command.  filespec is a list
              with two elements.  The first element is the name of the  file  to  load.   The  second,  optional
              element  is  a list of commands supplied by loading that file.  If the list of procedures is empty
              or omitted, ::pkg::create will set up the library  for  direct  loading  (see  pkg_mkIndex).   Any
              number of -load parameters may be specified.

       -source filespec
              This parameter is similar to the -load parameter, except that it specifies a Tcl library that must
              be loaded with the source command.  Any number of -source parameters may be specified.

       At least one -load or -source parameter must be given.
