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 produces slightly different results than concat:
    concat removes one level of grouping before forming the list, while
    list works directly from the original arguments.






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}
