_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
The dump command provides a way for the user to spit out state informa-
tion about the interpreter in a Tcl readable (and human readable) form.
It takes the general form:
dump method ?-nocomplain? ?-filter pattern? ?--? pattern ?pattern ...?
The patterns represent glob-style patterns (as in string match pattern
$str). -nocomplain will prevent dump from throwing an error if no
items matched the pattern. -filter is interpreted as appropriate for
the method. The various methods are:
dump command args
Outputs one or more commands.
dump procedure args
Outputs one or more procs in sourceable form.
dump variable args
Outputs the values of variables in sourceable form. Recognizes
nested arrays. The -filter pattern is used as to filter array
element names and is interepreted as a glob pattern (defaults to
{*}). It is passed down for nested arrays.
dump widget args
Outputs one or more widgets by giving their configuration
options. The -filter pattern is used as to filter the config
options and is interpreted as a case insensitive regexp pattern
(defaults to {.*}).
