5. About the Tcl Commands
The basic syntax for a Tcl command is:
command arg1 arg2 arg3 ...
The command is either the name of a built-in command or a Tcl procedure.
White space (i.e., spaces or tabs) is used to separate the command name and its
arguments, and a newline (i.e., the end of line character) or semicolon is used to
terminate a command. Tcl does not interpret the arguments to the commands
except to perform grouping, which allows multiple words in one argument, and
substitution, which is used with programming variables and nested command
calls. The behavior of the Tcl command processor can be summarized in three
basic steps:
• Argument grouping.
• Value substitution of nested commands, variables, and backslash escapes.
• Command invocation. It is up to the command to interpret its arguments.
