9'\" The definitions below are for supplemental macros used in Tcl/Tk
10'\" manual entries.
11'\"
12'\" .AP type name in/out ?indent?
13'\" Start paragraph describing an argument to a library procedure.
14'\" type is type of argument (int, etc.), in/out is either "in", "out",
15'\" or "in/out" to describe whether procedure reads or modifies arg,
16'\" and indent is equivalent to second arg of .IP (shouldn't ever be
17'\" needed; use .AS below instead)
18'\"
19'\" .AS ?type? ?name?
20'\" Give maximum sizes of arguments for setting tab stops. Type and
21'\" name are examples of largest possible arguments that will be passed
22'\" to .AP later. If args are omitted, default tab stops are used.
23'\"
24'\" .BS
25'\" Start box enclosure. From here until next .BE, everything will be
26'\" enclosed in one large box.
27'\"
28'\" .BE
29'\" End of box enclosure.
30'\"
31'\" .CS
32'\" Begin code excerpt.
33'\"
34'\" .CE
35'\" End code excerpt.
36'\"
37'\" .VS ?version? ?br?
38'\" Begin vertical sidebar, for use in marking newly-changed parts
39'\" of man pages. The first argument is ignored and used for recording
40'\" the version when the .VS was added, so that the sidebars can be
41'\" found and removed when they reach a certain age. If another argument
42'\" is present, then a line break is forced before starting the sidebar.
43'\"
44'\" .VE
45'\" End of vertical sidebar.
46'\"
47'\" .DS
48'\" Begin an indented unfilled display.
49'\"
50'\" .DE
51'\" End of indented unfilled display.
52'\"
53'\" .SO
54'\" Start of list of standard options for a Tk widget. The
55'\" options follow on successive lines, in four columns separated
56'\" by tabs.
57'\"
58'\" .SE
59'\" End of list of standard options for a Tk widget.
60'\"
61'\" .OP cmdName dbName dbClass
62'\" Start of description of a specific option. cmdName gives the
63'\" option's name as specified in the class command, dbName gives
64'\" the option's name in the option database, and dbClass gives
65'\" the option's class in the option database.
66'\"
67'\" .UL arg1 arg2
68'\" Print arg1 underlined, then print arg2 normally.

252.sp
253Tcl_Obj *
254\fBTcl_SubstObj\fR(\fIinterp, objPtr, flags\fR)
255.SH ARGUMENTS
256.AS Tcl_Interp **termPtr;
257.AP Tcl_Interp *interp in
258Interpreter in which to execute Tcl scripts and lookup variables. If
259an error occurs, the interpreter's result is modified to hold an error
260message.
261.AP Tcl_Obj *objPtr in
262A Tcl object containing the string to perform substitutions on.
263.AP int flags in
264ORed combination of flag bits that specify which substitutions to
265perform. The flags \fBTCL_SUBST_COMMANDS\fR,
266\fBTCL_SUBST_VARIABLES\fR and \fBTCL_SUBST_BACKSLASHES\fR are
267currently supported, and \fBTCL_SUBST_ALL\fR is provided as a
268convenience for the common case where all substitutions are desired.

271.SH DESCRIPTION
272.PP
273The \fBTcl_SubstObj\fR function is used to perform substitutions on
274strings in the fashion of the \fBsubst\fR command. It gets the value
275of the string contained in \fIobjPtr\fR and scans it, copying
276characters and performing the chosen substitutions as it goes to an
277output object which is returned as the result of the function. In the
278event of an error occurring during the execution of a command or
279variable substitution, the function returns NULL and an error message
280is left in \fIinterp\fR's result.
281.PP
282Three kinds of substitutions are supported. When the
283\fBTCL_SUBST_BACKSLASHES\fR bit is set in \fIflags\fR, sequences that
284look like backslash substitutions for Tcl commands are replaced by
285their corresponding character.
286.PP
287When the \fBTCL_SUBST_VARIABLES\fR bit is set in \fIflags\fR,
288sequences that look like variable substitutions for Tcl commands are
289replaced by the contents of the named variable.
290.PP
291When th \fBTCL_SUBST_COMMANDS\fR bit is set in \fIflags\fR, sequences
292that look like command substitutions for Tcl commands are replaced by
293the result of evaluating that script. Where an uncaught continue
294exception occurs during the evaluation of a command substitution, an
295empty string is substituted for the command. Where an uncaught break
296exception occurs during the evaluation of a command substitution, the
297result of the whole substitution on \fIobjPtr\fR will be truncated at
298the point immediately before the start of the command substitution,
299and no characters will be added to the result or substitutions
300performed after that point.
