.SH NAME
|
|
lappend \- Append list elements onto a variable
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
\fBlappend \fIvarName value \fR?\fIvalue value ...\fR?
|
|
.BE
|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
This command treats the variable given by \fIvarName\fR as a list
|
|
and appends each of the \fIvalue\fR arguments to that list as a separate
|
|
element, with spaces between elements.
|
|
If \fIvarName\fR doesn't exist, it is created as a list with elements
|
|
given by the \fIvalue\fR arguments.
|
|
\fBLappend\fR is similar to \fBappend\fR except that the \fIvalue\fRs
|
|
are appended as list elements rather than raw text.
|
|
This command provides a relatively efficient way to build up
|
|
large lists. For example, ``\fBlappend a $b\fR'' is much
|
|
more efficient than ``\fBset a [concat $a [list $b]]\fR'' when
|
|
\fB$a\fR is long.
