NAME
tkerror - Command invoked to process background errors
SYNOPSIS
tkerror message
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
Note: as of Tk 4.1 the tkerror command has been renamed to
bgerror because the event loop (which is what usually
invokes it) is now part of Tcl. For backward compatibility
the bgerror provided by the current Tk version still tries
to call tkerror if there is one (or an auto loadable one),
so old script defining that error handler should still work,
but you should anyhow modify your scripts to use bgerror
instead of tkerror because that support for the old name
might vanish in the near future. If that call fails, bgerror
posts a dialog showing the error and offering to see the
stack trace to the user. If you want your own error
management you should directly override bgerror instead of
tkerror. Documentation for bgerror is available as part of
Tcl's documentation.
