comparison plugins/tcl/TCL-HOWTO @ 8117:e280d73ed07f

[gaim-migrate @ 8821] Since Gaim now shows plugin descriptions, this alters the Tcl API to collect them at registration time. NOTE THAT THIS CHANGES THE TCL API. Not that anyone uses it, but now I won't forget. Plugin registration will have to be changed in existing plugins, and a summary added ... see the appropriate part of the TCL-HOWTO for details. committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>

some limitations placed upon it; it will be parsed and evaluated
before the rest of the Tcl script, so it cannot reference any other
variables or procedures declared in the script.  In practice this is
not a problem, as the only thing this procedure should do is return a
simple list containing five items: the name of the script, its version
number, a short description, the author, and a web page.  For example:

proc plugin_init { } {
  return [ list "Example Plugin" \
                "1.0" \
		"Example of how to register a plugin for the Tcl HOWTO" \
		"Ethan Blanton <[e-mail]>" \
		"http://gaim.sf.net/" ]
}

variables or procedures declared in the script.  In practice this is
not a problem, as the only thing this procedure should do is return a
simple list containing five items: the name of the script, its version
number, a summary (just a few words) of its function, a short (longer
than the summary, but no more than a couple of sentences if possible)
description, the author, and a web page.  For example:

proc plugin_init { } {
  return [ list "Example Plugin" \
                "1.0" \
		"Example plugin registration" \
		"Example of how to register a plugin for the Tcl HOWTO" \
