Tcl_SetAssocData(3)	    Tcl Library Procedures	   Tcl_SetAssocData(3)

______________________________________________________________________________

NAME
       Tcl_GetAssocData,  Tcl_SetAssocData, Tcl_DeleteAssocData - manage asso-
       ciations of string keys and user specified data with Tcl	 interpreters.

SYNOPSIS
       #include <tcl.h>

       ClientData
       Tcl_GetAssocData(interp, key, delProcPtr)

       Tcl_SetAssocData(interp, key, delProc, clientData)

       Tcl_DeleteAssocData(interp, key)

ARGUMENTS
       Tcl_Interp	      *interp	    (in)      Interpreter  in which to
						      execute  the   specified
						      command.		       |

       CONST								       |
       char		*key	      (in)				 |     |
						      Key for association with
						      which  to	 store data or
						      from which to delete  or
						      retrieve	 data.	 Typi-
						      cally the module	prefix
						      for a package.

       Tcl_InterpDeleteProc   *delProc	    (in)      Procedure	 to  call when
						      interp is deleted.

       Tcl_InterpDeleteProc   **delProcPtr  (in)      Pointer to  location  in
						      which  to	 store address
						      of current deletion pro-
						      cedure  for association.
						      Ignored if NULL.

       ClientData	      clientData    (in)      Arbitrary one-word value
						      associated    with   the
						      given key in this inter-
						      preter.	This  data  is
						      owned by the caller.

DESCRIPTION
       These procedures allow extensions to associate their own	 data  with  a
       Tcl  interpreter.   An  association consists of a string key, typically
       the name of the extension, and a one-word value, which is  typically  a
       pointer	to  a  data  structure holding data specific to the extension.
       Tcl makes no interpretation of either the key or the value for an asso-
       ciation.

       Storage	management  is	facilitated by storing with each association a
       procedure to call when the interpreter is deleted. This	procedure  can
       dispose of the storage occupied by the client's data in any way it sees
       fit.

       Tcl_SetAssocData creates an association between a string key and a user
       specified datum in the given interpreter.  If there is already an asso-
       ciation with the given key, Tcl_SetAssocData overwrites it with the new
       information.   It  is  up  to callers to organize their use of names to
       avoid conflicts, for example, by using package names as the  keys.   If
       the  deleteProc argument is non-NULL it specifies the address of a pro-
       cedure to invoke if the interpreter is deleted before  the  association
       is deleted.  DeleteProc should have arguments and result that match the
       type Tcl_InterpDeleteProc:
	      typedef void Tcl_InterpDeleteProc(
		ClientData clientData,
		Tcl_Interp *interp);
       When deleteProc is invoked the clientData and interp arguments will  be
       the  same  as  the  corresponding arguments passed to Tcl_SetAssocData.
       The deletion procedure will  not	 be  invoked  if  the  association  is
       deleted before the interpreter is deleted.

       Tcl_GetAssocData	 returns  the datum stored in the association with the
       specified key in the given interpreter, and if the delProcPtr field  is
       non-NULL,  the  address	indicated by it gets the address of the delete
       procedure stored with this association.	If  no	association  with  the
       specified  key exists in the given interpreter Tcl_GetAssocData returns
       NULL.

       Tcl_DeleteAssocData deletes an association with a specified key in  the
       given interpreter.  Then it calls the deletion procedure.
