TIP #102: CHANGE [TRACE LIST] TO [TRACE INFO] =============================================== Version: $Revision: 1.4 $ Author: Reinhard Max State: Final Type: Project Tcl-Version: 8.4 Vote: Done Created: Wednesday, 12 June 2002 URL: https://tip.tcl-lang.org102.html Post-History: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ABSTRACT ========== This TIP proposes to change the name of the introspection subcommand of the /trace/ command from /list/ to /info/. RATIONALE =========== Although the functionality of the /trace/ command (as extended by [TIP #62]) is good, the name of the introspection subcommand, /list/ is not such a good choice: * The name /info/ is already well known for introspection purposes in Tcl (e.g. [info] and [after info].) * The name [trace list] could be misunderstood as having to do with tracing lists. * The introspection subcommand to trace could be extended to allow more specific queries along the lines of [info commands], [info procs], and [info vars]. /(This is outside the scope of this TIP.)/ Hence, this TIP calls for the /list/ subcommand to be renamed to /info/. (Note that this also makes the subcommand for introspecting on variable traces more similar to its old form /vinfo/.)
