____________________________________________________________________________________________________________


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  con-struct construct
       struct 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 proce-dures procedures
              dures 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 command.  Any number of -source parameters may be specified.

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