# clig\_Description(7)

set long description text to be included in a manual page

## NAME

::clig::Description - set long description text to be included in a manual page

## SYNOPSIS

```
package require clig
namespace import ::clig::*
setSpec db
Description text
```

## DESCRIPTION

The **Description** command should not be used. Instead, the respective section in the generated manual page should be filled out. The main reason for this advice is, that clig copies *description* AS IS into the manual page, so it can be typed into the manual page file in the first place. Please remember that the generated manual page needs some hand-tuning anyway, because for example the \`SEE ALSO'-section cannot be generated. Since this command should not be used, no example is given.
