if(n) Tcl Built-In Commands if(n)______________________________________________________________________________NAMEif - Execute scripts conditionally
SYNOPSISif expr1 ?then? body1 elseif expr2 ?then? body2 elseif ... ?else?
?bodyN?
_________________________________________________________________DESCRIPTION
The if command evaluates expr1 as an expression (in the same way that
expr evaluates its argument). The value of the expression must be a
boolean (a numeric value, where 0 is false and anything is true, or a
string value such as true or yes for true and false or no for false);
if it is true then body1 is executed by passing it to the Tcl inter‐
preter. Otherwise expr2 is evaluated as an expression and if it is
true then body2 is executed, and so on. If none of the expressions
evaluates to true then bodyN is executed. The then and else arguments
are optional ``noise words'' to make the command easier to read. There
may be any number of elseif clauses, including zero. BodyN may also be
omitted as long as else is omitted too. The return value from the com‐
mand is the result of the body script that was executed, or an empty
string if none of the expressions was non-zero and there was no bodyN.
