Using the CLI

The two components of the Command Line Interface (CLI) are the Tcl-based programming environment and the commands added to the Tcl interpreter that allow you to debug your program. This chapter looks at how these components interact and describes how you specify processes, groups, and threads.

This chapter tends to emphasize interactive use of the CLI rather than using the CLI as a programming language because many of the concepts that will be discussed are easier to understand in an interactive framework. However, everything in this chapter can be used in both environments.
