## TESTDTCL

testdtcl - program to test and debug .ttml files

## SYNOPSIS

**testdtcl** *\[-i\] \[-g globalscript\] file*

## DESCRIPTION

**Testdtcl** may be used to test out .ttml pages intended for use with the Apache mod\_dtcl module, without having to use a web server.  It includes the same file parsing code, so it ought to yield similiar results.  The **testdtcl** program also has an option,  **-i** that allows the user to see what global variables have been modified in which portions of the execution (does it occur in the Dtcl\_GlobalScript, or the main script itself?).

## OPTIONS

- **-i**

  Turn on "info", or debugging mode.  This prints out a list of the global variables that have been created both by the "GlobalScript" and by the script called by **testdtcl.**

- **-g globalscript**

  Load "globalscript" as the script that would be loaded by the  **GlobalScript** directive in mod\_dtcl.

## EXAMPLES

**testdtcl -g /var/www/globalscript.tcl -i examples.ttml**

This runs testdtcl with /var/www/globalscript.tcl as the globalscript on the file "examples.ttml".  The -i command tells it to output information about global variables changed.

## FILES

**/usr/lib/mod\_dtcl/infodebug.tcl**

Contains the Tcl routines to gather information about global variables.

**/usr/lib/mod\_dtcl/testdtcl.tcl**

Contains replacements for the mod\_dtcl extensions to Tcl, namely: hputs, include, setcookie, hflush, hgetvars, and dtcl\_info.

## SEE ALSO

More information is available on mod\_dtcl in the HTML files included with the distribution.  Under Debian GNU/Linux, these are installed in /usr/doc/libapache-mod-dtcl/.
