"debug::caller" n 1.1 tcllib "debug narrative"
The -*- nroff -*- definitions below are for supplemental macros used
in Tcl/Tk manual entries.

.AP type name in/out ?indent?
Start paragraph describing an argument to a library procedure.
type is type of argument (int, etc.), in/out is either "in", "out",
or "in/out" to describe whether procedure reads or modifies arg,
and indent is equivalent to second arg of .IP (shouldn't ever be
needed; use .AS below instead)

.AS ?type? ?name?
Give maximum sizes of arguments for setting tab stops. Type and
name are examples of largest possible arguments that will be passed
to .AP later. If args are omitted, default tab stops are used.

.BS
Start box enclosure. From here until next .BE, everything will be
enclosed in one large box.

.BE
End of box enclosure.

.CS
Begin code excerpt.

.CE
End code excerpt.

.VS ?version? ?br?
Begin vertical sidebar, for use in marking newly-changed parts
of man pages. The first argument is ignored and used for recording
the version when the .VS was added, so that the sidebars can be
found and removed when they reach a certain age. If another argument
is present, then a line break is forced before starting the sidebar.

.VE
End of vertical sidebar.

.DS
Begin an indented unfilled display.

.DE
End of indented unfilled display.

.SO ?manpage?
Start of list of standard options for a Tk widget. The manpage
argument defines where to look up the standard options; if
omitted, defaults to "options". The options follow on successive
lines, in three columns separated by tabs.

.SE
End of list of standard options for a Tk widget.

.OP cmdName dbName dbClass
Start of description of a specific option. cmdName gives the
option's name as specified in the class command, dbName gives
the option's name in the option database, and dbClass gives
the option's class in the option database.

.UL arg1 arg2
Print arg1 underlined, then print arg2 normally.

.QW arg1 ?arg2?
Print arg1 in quotes, then arg2 normally (for trailing punctuation).

.PQ arg1 ?arg2?
Print an open parenthesis, arg1 in quotes, then arg2 normally
(for trailing punctuation) and then a closing parenthesis.

NAME
debug::caller - debug narrative - caller
SYNOPSIS
package require Tcl 8.5 package require debug::caller ?1.1? debug caller ?args...? E
DESCRIPTION

API

debug caller ?args...? This method is useful in a tag-specific prefix to automatically provide caller information for all uses of the tag. Or in a message, when only specific places need such detail. Beyond that it recognizing the various internal forms of method calls generated by the snit OO system and rewrites these to their original form, for better readability. Similarly for TclOO. If args are specified then they are treated as the integer indices of command arguments to not show in the output. The referenced arguments are replaced by * instead. The main anticipiated use case for this is the exclusion of arguments expected to contain large Tcl values, i.e. long lists, large dictionaries, etc. to prevent them from overwhelming the narrative.

"BUGS, IDEAS, FEEDBACK"
This document, and the package it describes, will undoubtedly contain bugs and other problems. Please report such in the category debug of the Tcllib Trackers [http://core.tcl.tk/tcllib/reportlist]. Please also report any ideas for enhancements you may have for either package and/or documentation.

When proposing code changes, please provide unified diffs, i.e the output of diff -u.

Note further that attachments are strongly preferred over inlined patches. Attachments can be made by going to the Edit form of the ticket immediately after its creation, and then using the left-most button in the secondary navigation bar.
