rename oldName newName
rename(1t) Tcl Built-In Commands rename(1t) ______________________________________________________________________________ NAME rename - Rename or delete a command SYNOPSIS rename oldName newName ______________________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION Rename the command that used to be called oldName so that it is now called newName. If newName is an empty string then oldName is deleted. oldName and newName may include namespace qualifiers (names of contain- ing namespaces). If a command is renamed into a different namespace, future invocations of it will execute in the new namespace. The rename command returns an empty string as result. EXAMPLE The rename command can be used to wrap the standard Tcl commands with your own monitoring machinery. For example, you might wish to count how often the source command is called: rename ::source ::theRealSource set sourceCount 0 proc ::source args { global sourceCount puts "called source for the [incr sourceCount]'th time" uplevel 1 ::theRealSource $args } ATTRIBUTES See attributes(7) for descriptions of the following attributes: +---------------+------------------+ |ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +---------------+------------------+ |Availability | runtime/tcl-8 | +---------------+------------------+ |Stability | Uncommitted | +---------------+------------------+ SEE ALSO namespace(n), proc(n) KEYWORDS command, delete, namespace, rename NOTES Source code for open source software components in Oracle Solaris can be found at https://www.oracle.com/downloads/opensource/solaris-source- code-downloads.html.
