NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     list - Create a list

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     list ?arg arg ...?							      |

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     This command returns a list comprised of all the args, or an empty	string|
     if	no args	are specified.	Braces and backslashes get added as necessary,
     so	that the index command may be used on the result to re-extract the
     original arguments, and also so that eval may be used to execute the
     resulting list, with arg1 comprising the command's	name and the other
     args comprising its arguments.  List produces slightly different results
     than concat:  concat removes one level of grouping	before forming the
     list, while list works directly from the original arguments.  For
     example, the command

	  list a b {c d	e} {f {g h}}

     will return

	  a b {c d e} {f {g h}}

     while concat with the same	arguments will return

	  a b c	d e f {g h}
