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 index
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 produces
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}
KEYWORDS
element, list
