# rexxtk(1)

interface to Tcl/Tk libraries for Regina Rexx

## NAME

rexxtk - interface to Tcl/Tk libraries for Regina Rexx

## SYNOPSIS

**rexxtk** \[*OPTIONS*\] \[*FILE*\]

**call RxFuncAdd 'TkLoadFuncs','rexxtk','TkLoadFuncs'**\
 **call TkLoadFuncs**

## DESCRIPTION

**rexxtk** is an extension library for **[regina(1)](/regina/1.md)** that provides access to the Tk Graphic User Interface Toolkit.

Rexx/Tk can be used in one of two ways.  The first is to run a rexx script as an argument to rexxtk, optionally using the switches described below.

The more common usage is to load the rexxtk function package with the Regina built-in function RxFuncAdd() (the second SYNOPSIS example.)  Note that the rexx script must be invoked with /usr/bin/regina, not /usr/bin/rexx.

## OPTIONS

- **-i**

  Accept Rexx/Tk commands from stdin.

- **-d**

  Run in debug mode. Mainly used when diagnosing a problem.

- **-v**

  Run in verbose mode. Mainly used when diagnosing a problem. Parameter values passed into a function and result information are traced.  Also values of Rexx variables set by Rexx/Tk are traced.

- **-f**

  File in which output from -v and -d is dumped. By default trace output is dumped to stderr.
