5.8.11 Project Manager Tcl Command Reference

A Tcl (Tool Command Language) file contains scripts for simple or complex tasks. You can run scripts from either the Windows or UNIX command line or store and run a series of Tcl commands in a *.tcl batch file. You can also run scripts from within the GUI in Project Manager.

Tcl commands are case sensitive. However, their arguments are not. The Libero IDE Project Manager supports the following Tcl scripting commands:
