exmh personal library

One of the main ways to extend exmh is to write your own code and call it from exmh.

Such code is stored in a personal directory that can be in one of two places. Exmh will search in order for these directories

  1. $HOME/.exmh/lib
  2. $HOME/.tk/exmh

The first of these directories that exists will be used.

Regenerating tclIndex

Whenever you do anything that adds or deletes a Tcl proc to any file in your library directory you must regenerate the tclIndex file. That can be done as follows:

  1. cd to your library directory
  2. Run tclsh
  3. Enter the following command: auto_mkindex . *.tcl
  4. Press ctrl-d to exit tclsh
