- .SH NAME
- Tcl_CreateInterp, Tcl_DeleteInterp \- create and delete Tcl command interpreters

- \fBTcl_CreateInterp\fR()
- .sp

- Token for interpreter to be destroyed.

- .SH DESCRIPTION
- .PP
- \fBTcl_CreateInterp\fR creates a new interpreter structure and returns
- a token for it. The token is required in calls to most other Tcl
- procedures, such as \fBTcl_CreateCommand\fR, \fBTcl_Eval\fR, and
- \fBTcl_DeleteInterp\fR.
- Clients are only allowed to access a few of the fields of
- Tcl_Interp structures; see the Tcl_Interp
- and \fBTcl_CreateCommand\fR man pages for details.
- The new interpreter is initialized with no defined variables and only
- the built-in Tcl commands. To bind in additional commands, call
- \fBTcl_CreateCommand\fR.
- .PP
- \fBTcl_DeleteInterp\fR destroys a command interpreter and releases all of
- the resources associated with it, including variables, procedures,
- and application-specific command bindings. After \fBTcl_DeleteInterp\fR
- returns the caller should never again use the \fIinterp\fR token.
