# clig\_Commandline(7)

declare variable to store concatenated argv

## NAME

::clig::Commandline - declare variable to store concatenated argv

## SYNOPSIS

```
package require clig
namespace import ::clig::*
setSpec db
Commandline varname
```

## DESCRIPTION

The command **Commandline** records in the database *db* specified in the most recent call to  **setSpec** the name  *varname* of a variable to be set the concatenated elements of the command line by a clig-parser.

### Example

With a declaration like

```
  Commandline tool
```

a C-program calling

```
   Cmdline *cmd = parseCmdline(argc, argv);
```

will find in  **cmd-\>tool** all elements of argv joined into one string with intervening blanks.

## BUG

This even works with the command line parser for Tcl, **::clig::parseCmdline**, although in contrast to C it is rather useless in Tcl.
