# clig\_Name(7)

set the program name to be used in the manual page

## NAME

::clig::Name - set the program name to be used in the manual page

## SYNOPSIS

```
package require clig
namespace import ::clig::*
setSpec db
Name program-name
```

## DESCRIPTION

The **Name**-command specifies the name of the program. The string *program-name* is used in the generated manual page and also specifies the default name of the manual page. However the specified name is not used anywhere else in the parser because use of argv\[0\] is preferred there.
