Introduction

General remarks

Websh 3.6 (pronounced "web shell") embeds a Tcl interpreter, (version 8.3 or higher) and all Tcl commands are available.

Typically, Websh commands have the following syntax:

web::acommand ?options? ?subcommands? ?arguments?

Options start with a dash ("-"). As usual, dash-dash ("--") indicates the "end-of-options". Thus,

web::acommand -o1 a1 -- -o2

takes "-o2" as the first argument.

Instead of the normal Tcl behaviour, Websh configuration commands normally return the previous value when a new value is set.

In addition to the examples given here, you might find http://tcl.apache.org/websh/examples.ws3 a useful source of information.
