Options

The parameters supported are:

-name packageName

This parameter specifies the name of the package. It is required.

-version packageVersion

-load filespec

This parameter specifies a binary library that must be loaded with the load command. filespec is a list with two elements. The first element is the name of the file to load. The second, optional element is a list of commands supplied by loading that file. If the list of procedures is empty or omitted, ::pkg::create will set up the library for direct loading (see pkg_mkIndex). Any number of -load parameters may be specified.
