NAME
       pkg::create - Construct an appropriate 'package ifneeded' command for a

       spec? ... ?-source filespec? ...
_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION
       ::pkg::create  is  a utility procedure that is part of the standard Tcl
       library.	 It is used to create an appropriate package ifneeded  command
       for  a  given  package  specification.	It  can be used to construct a
       pkgIndex.tcl file for use with the package mechanism.

OPTIONS
       The parameters supported are:

       -name packageName
	      This parameter  specifies	 the  name  of	the  package.	It  is
	      required.

       -version packageVersion
	      This  parameter  specifies  the  version	of the package.	 It is
	      required.

       -load filespec
	      This parameter specifies a binary library that  must  be	loaded
	      with  the	 load  command.	 filespec is a list with two elements.
	      The first element is the name of the file to load.  The  second,
	      optional	element is a list of commands supplied by loading that
	      file.   If  the  list  of	 procedures  is	 empty	 or   omitted,
	      ::pkg::create  will  set	up the library for direct loading (see
	      pkg_mkIndex).  Any number of -load parameters may be specified.

       -source filespec
	      This parameter is similar to the -load parameter, except that it
	      specifies a Tcl library that must be loaded with the source com‐
	      mand.  Any number of -source parameters may be specified.

       At least one -load or -source parameter must be given.
