list(n)                                     Tcl Built-In Commands                                    list(n)

NAME
       list - Create a list

SYNOPSIS
       list ?arg arg ...?
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________


DESCRIPTION
       This  command  returns a list comprised of all the args, or an empty string if no args are specified.
       Braces and backslashes get added as necessary, so that the lindex command may be used on  the  result
       to  re-extract  the  original  arguments,  and also so that eval may be used to execute the resulting
       list, with arg1 comprising the command's name and the other args comprising its arguments.  List pro-duces produces
       duces  slightly  different  results than concat:  concat removes one level of grouping before forming
       the list, while list works directly from the original arguments.  For example, the command
              list a b {c d e} {f {g h}}
       will return
              a b {c d e} {f {g h}}
       while concat with the same arguments will return
              a b c d e f {g h}
