loadlibindex -- load the package library index of a .tlib library file

Synopsis

loadlibindex libfile.tlib

Description

Loads the package library index of the library file libfile (which must have the suffix .tlib). Package library indexes along the auto_path are loaded automatically on the first demand_load; this command is provided to explicitly load libraries that are not in the path. If the index file (with a .tndx suffix) does not exist or is out of date, it is rebuilt if the user has directory permissions to create it. If a package with the same name as a package in libfile.tlib has already been loaded, its definition is overridden by the new package. However, if any procedure has actually been used from the previously defined package, the procedures from libfile.tlib are not loaded.

This command also loads an index built by the mkindex.tcl program supplied with standard Tcl. This file must be named ``tclIndex''.
