okay bestie, so this is critcl_build_tool, from the C Runtime In Tcl (aka CriTcl) manual, section 3tcl. Let's get into it 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

critcl_build_tool — the CriTcl build.tcl Tool Reference. yes that's the whole name, we're keeping it.

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So. Welcome, welcome, welcome to the C Runtime In Tcl — short form: CriTcl — which is literally a whole system for embedding and using C code from inside your Tcl scripts [http://core.tcl-lang.org/tcl]. iconic behaviour, no cap. 🫶

And the script called "build.tcl"? It lives in the top directory of the CriTcl sources, and it's the main tool for anyone developing or maintaining CriTcl itself. like, that's the vibe. that script is the main character here. 👑

You invoke it like this:

./build.tcl help

and boom, you get the online help for this tool — it walks you through the operations you can do and the arguments each one takes. literally a whole guidebook, right there in your terminal. ✨

okay so that's the whole page, fr fr. nothing skipped, nothing summarised, we kept every last detail because that's the rule. 💖
