       int	       *numArgsPtr	(out)	  Points to  a	variable  that
						  will	be  set to contain the
						  number of arguments  to  the

						  will be  set	to  contain  a
						  pointer  to  an array giving
						  the  permissible  types  for
						  each	argument  to the func‐
						  tion which will need	to  be
						  freed up using Tcl_Free.

       Tcl_MathProc    **procPtr	(out)	  Points  to  a	 variable that
						  will be  set	to  contain  a
						  pointer  to  the implementa‐
						  tion code for	 the  function
						  (or  NULL if the function is
						  implemented	directly    in
						  bytecode.)

       ClientData      *clientDataPtr	(out)	  Points  to  a	 variable that
						  will be set to  contain  the
						  clientData  argument	passed
						  to  Tcl_CreateMathFunc  when
						  the  function was created if
						  the function is  not	imple‐
						  mented directly in bytecode.

       CONST char      *pattern		(in)	  Pattern   to	match  against
						  function names so as to fil‐
						  ter	them  (by  passing  to
						  Tcl_StringMatch), or NULL to
						  not apply any filter.

DESCRIPTION
       Tcl  allows  a  number  of mathematical functions to be used in expres‐
       sions, such as sin, cos, and hypot.  Tcl_CreateMathFunc allows applica‐
       tions  to  add additional functions to those already provided by Tcl or
       to replace existing functions.  Name is the name of the function as  it
       will  appear  in expressions.  If name doesn't already exist as a func‐
       tion then a new function is created.  If it does exist, then the exist‐
       ing  function is replaced.  NumArgs and argTypes describe the arguments
       to the function.	 Each entry in the  argTypes  array  must  be  one  of │
       TCL_INT,	 TCL_DOUBLE,  TCL_WIDE_INT,  or TCL_EITHER to indicate whether │
       the corresponding argument  must	 be  an	 integer,  a  double-precision │
       floating value, a wide (64-bit) integer, or any, respectively.

       Whenever the function is invoked in an expression Tcl will invoke proc.
       Proc should have arguments and result that match the type Tcl_MathProc:
	      typedef int Tcl_MathProc(
		ClientData clientData,
		Tcl_Interp *interp,
		Tcl_Value *args,
		Tcl_Value *resultPtr);

       When proc is invoked the clientData and interp arguments	 will  be  the
       same  as	 those	passed	to  Tcl_CreateMathFunc.	 Args will point to an
       array of numArgs Tcl_Value structures, which describe the actual	 argu‐
       ments to the function:						       │
	      typedef struct Tcl_Value {				       │
		Tcl_ValueType type;					       │
		long intValue;						       │
		double doubleValue;					       │
		Tcl_WideInt wideValue;					       │
	      } Tcl_Value;						       │

       The  type  field	 indicates  the	 type  of  the	argument and is one of │
       TCL_INT, TCL_DOUBLE or TCL_WIDE_INT.  It will match the argTypes	 value
       specified  for  the  function unless the argTypes value was TCL_EITHER.
       Tcl converts the argument  supplied  in	the  expression	 to  the  type
       requested in argTypes, if that is necessary.  Depending on the value of
       the type field, the intValue, doubleValue or wideValue field will  con‐ │
       tain the actual value of the argument.

       Proc  should  compute  its  result and store it either as an integer in
       resultPtr->intValue or as a floating value  in  resultPtr->doubleValue.
       It  should  set	also  resultPtr->type to one of TCL_INT, TCL_DOUBLE or │
       TCL_WIDE_INT to indicate which value was	 set.	Under  normal  circum‐
       stances	proc should return TCL_OK.  If an error occurs while executing
       the function, proc should return TCL_ERROR and leave an	error  message
       in the interpreter's result.

       Tcl_GetMathFuncInfo  retrieves the values associated with function name │
       that were passed to a preceding Tcl_CreateMathFunc call.	 Normally, the │
       return  code  is	 TCL_OK	 but  if  the  named  function does not exist, │
       TCL_ERROR is returned and an error message  is  placed  in  the	inter‐ │
       preter's result.							       │

       If  an  error did not occur, the array reference placed in the variable │
       pointed to by argTypesPtr is newly allocated, and should be released by │
       passing	it  to Tcl_Free.  Some functions (the standard set implemented │
       in the core) are implemented directly at the bytecode level; attempting │
       to  retrieve values for them causes a NULL to be stored in the variable │
       pointed to by procPtr and the variable pointed to by clientDataPtr will │
       not be modified.							       │

       Tcl_ListMathFuncs  returns  a  Tcl  object containing a list of all the │
       math functions defined in the interpreter whose name  matches  pattern. │
       In  the case of an error, NULL is returned and an error message is left │
       in the interpreter result, and otherwise the returned object will  have │
       a reference count of zero.
