+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+Tcl allows a number of mathematical functions to be used in
+expressions, such as \fBsin\fR, \fBcos\fR, and \fBhypot\fR.
+These functions are represented by commands in the namespace,
+\fBtcl::mathfunc\fR.  The \fBTcl_CreateMathFunc\fR function is
+an obsolete way for applications to add additional functions
+to those already provided by Tcl or to replace existing functions.
+It should not be used by new applications, which should create
+math functions using \fBTcl_CreateObjCommand\fR to create a command
+in the \fBtcl::mathfunc\fR namespace.
+.PP
+In the \fBTcl_CreateMathFunc\fR interface,
+\fIName\fR is the name of the function as it will appear in expressions.
+If \fIname\fR does not already exist in the \fB::tcl::mathfunc\fR
+namespace, then a new command is created in that namespace.
+If \fIname\fR does exist, then the existing function is replaced.
+\fINumArgs\fR and \fIargTypes\fR describe the arguments to the function.
+Each entry in the \fIargTypes\fR array must be
+one of \fBTCL_INT\fR, \fBTCL_DOUBLE\fR, \fBTCL_WIDE_INT\fR,
+or \fBTCL_EITHER\fR to indicate whether the corresponding argument must be an
+integer, a double-precision floating value, a wide (64-bit) integer,
+or any, respectively.
+.PP
+Whenever the function is invoked in an expression Tcl will invoke
+\fIproc\fR.  \fIProc\fR should have arguments and result that match
+the type \fBTcl_MathProc\fR:
+.PP
+.CS
+typedef int \fBTcl_MathProc\fR(
+        ClientData \fIclientData\fR,
+        Tcl_Interp *\fIinterp\fR,
+        Tcl_Value *\fIargs\fR,
+        Tcl_Value *\fIresultPtr\fR);
+.CE
+.PP
+When \fIproc\fR is invoked the \fIclientData\fR and \fIinterp\fR
+arguments will be the same as those passed to \fBTcl_CreateMathFunc\fR.
+\fIArgs\fR will point to an array of \fInumArgs\fR Tcl_Value structures,
+which describe the actual arguments to the function:
+.PP
+.CS
+typedef struct Tcl_Value {
+    Tcl_ValueType \fItype\fR;
+    long \fIintValue\fR;
+    double \fIdoubleValue\fR;
+    Tcl_WideInt \fIwideValue\fR;
+} \fBTcl_Value\fR;
+.CE
+.PP
+The \fItype\fR field indicates the type of the argument and is
+one of \fBTCL_INT\fR, \fBTCL_DOUBLE\fR or \fBTCL_WIDE_INT\fR.
+It will match the \fIargTypes\fR value specified for the function unless
+the \fIargTypes\fR value was \fBTCL_EITHER\fR. Tcl converts
+the argument supplied in the expression to the type requested in
+\fIargTypes\fR, if that is necessary.
+Depending on the value of the \fItype\fR field, the \fIintValue\fR,
+\fIdoubleValue\fR or \fIwideValue\fR
+field will contain the actual value of the argument.
+.PP
+\fIProc\fR should compute its result and store it either as an integer
+in \fIresultPtr->intValue\fR or as a floating value in
+\fIresultPtr->doubleValue\fR.
+It should set also \fIresultPtr->type\fR to one of
+\fBTCL_INT\fR, \fBTCL_DOUBLE\fR or \fBTCL_WIDE_INT\fR
+to indicate which value was set.
+Under normal circumstances \fIproc\fR should return \fBTCL_OK\fR.
+If an error occurs while executing the function, \fIproc\fR should
+return \fBTCL_ERROR\fR and leave an error message in the interpreter's result.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_GetMathFuncInfo\fR retrieves the values associated with
+function \fIname\fR that were passed to a preceding
+\fBTcl_CreateMathFunc\fR call.  Normally, the return code is
+\fBTCL_OK\fR but if the named function does not exist, \fBTCL_ERROR\fR
+is returned and an error message is placed in the interpreter's
+result.
+.PP
+If an error did not occur, the array reference placed in the variable
+pointed to by \fIargTypesPtr\fR is newly allocated, and should be
+released by passing it to \fBTcl_Free\fR.  Some functions (the
+standard set implemented in the core, and those defined by placing
+commands in the \fBtcl::mathfunc\fR namespace) do not have
+argument type information; attempting to retrieve values for
+them causes a NULL to be stored in the variable pointed to by
+\fIprocPtr\fR and the variable pointed to by \fIclientDataPtr\fR
+will not be modified.  The variable pointed to by \fInumArgsPointer\fR
+will contain -1, and no argument types will be stored in the variable
+pointed to by \fIargTypesPointer\fR.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_ListMathFuncs\fR returns a Tcl value containing a list of all
+the math functions defined in the interpreter whose name matches
+\fIpattern\fR.  The returned value has a reference count of zero.

 .SH DESCRIPTION
 .PP
-These functions provide an interface to the function stack that an interpreter
-iterates through to evaluate commands.  The routine behind a command is
-implemented by an initial function and any additional functions that the
-routine pushes onto the stack as it progresses.  The interpreter itself pushes
-functions onto the stack to react to the end of a routine and to exercise other
-forms of control such as switching between in-progress stacks and the
-evaluation of other scripts at additional levels without adding frames to the C
-stack.  To execute a routine, the initial function for the routine is called
-and then a small bit of code called a \fItrampoline\fR iteratively takes
-functions off the stack and calls them, using the value of the last call as the
-value of the routine.
+This series of C functions provides an interface whereby commands that
+are implemented in C can be evaluated, and invoke Tcl commands scripts
+and scripts, without consuming space on the C stack. The non-recursive
+evaluation is done by installing a \fItrampoline\fR, a small piece of
+code that invokes a command or script, and then executes a series of
+callbacks when the command or script returns.
 .PP
-\fBTcl_NRCallObjProc\fR calls \fInreProc\fR using a new trampoline.
+The \fBTcl_NRCreateCommand\fR function creates a Tcl command in the
+interpreter designated by \fIinterp\fR that is prepared to handle
+nonrecursive evaluation with a trampoline. The \fIcmdName\fR argument
+gives the name of the new command. If \fIcmdName\fR contains any
+namespace qualifiers, then the new command is added to the specified
+namespace; otherwise, it is added to the global namespace. \fIproc\fR
+gives the procedure that will be called when the interpreter wishes to
+evaluate the command in an unoptimized manner, and \fInreProc\fR is
+the procedure that will be called when the interpreter wishes to
+evaluate the command using a trampoline. \fIdeleteProc\fR is a
+function that will be called before the command is deleted from the
+interpreter. When any of the three functions is invoked, it is passed
+the \fIclientData\fR parameter.
 .PP
-\fBTcl_NRCreateCommand\fR, an alternative to \fBTcl_CreateObjCommand\fR,
-resolves \fIcmdName\fR, which may contain namespace qualifiers, relative to the
-current namespace, creates a command by that name, and returns a token for the
-command which may be used in subsequent calls to \fBTcl_GetCommandName\fR.
-Except for a few cases noted below any existing command by the same name is
-first deleted.  If \fIinterp\fR is in the process of being deleted
-\fBTcl_NRCreateCommand\fR does not create any command, does not delete any
-command, and returns NULL.
+\fBTcl_NRCreateCommand\fR deletes any existing command
+\fIname\fR already associated with the interpreter
+(however see below for an exception where the existing command
+is not deleted).
+It returns a token that may be used to refer
+to the command in subsequent calls to \fBTcl_GetCommandName\fR.
+If \fBTcl_NRCreateCommand\fR is called for an interpreter that is in
+the process of being deleted, then it does not create a new command,
+does not delete any existing command of the same name, and returns NULL.
 .PP
-\fBTcl_NREvalObj\fR pushes a function that is like \fBTcl_EvalObjEx\fR but
-consumes no space on the C stack.
+The \fIproc\fR and \fInreProc\fR function are expected to conform to
+all the rules set forth for the \fIproc\fR argument to
+\fBTcl_CreateObjCommand\fR(3) (\fIq.v.\fR).
 .PP
-\fBTcl_NREvalObjv\fR pushes a function that is like \fBTcl_EvalObjv\fR but
-consumes no space on the C stack.
+When a command that is written to cope with evaluation via trampoline
+is invoked without a trampoline on the stack, it will usually respond
+to the invocation by creating a trampoline and calling the
+trampoline-enabled implementation of the same command. This call is done by
+means of \fBTcl_NRCallObjProc\fR. In the call to
+\fBTcl_NRCallObjProc\fR, the \fIinterp\fR, \fIclientData\fR,
+\fIobjc\fR and \fIobjv\fR parameters should be the same ones that were
+passed to \fIproc\fR. The \fInreProc\fR parameter should designate the
+trampoline-enabled implementation of the command.
 .PP
-\fBTcl_NRCmdSwap\fR is like \fBTcl_NREvalObjv\fR, but uses \fIcmd\fR, a token
-previously returned by \fBTcl_CreateObjCommand\fR or
-\fBTcl_GetCommandFromObj\fR, instead of resolving the first word of \fIobjv\fR.
-.  The name of this command must be the same as \fIobjv[0]\fR.
+\fBTcl_NREvalObj\fR arranges for the script contained in \fIobjPtr\fR
+to be evaluated in the interpreter designated by \fIinterp\fR after
+the current command (which must be trampoline-enabled) returns. It is
+the method by which a command may invoke a script without consuming
+space on the C stack. Similarly, \fBTcl_NREvalObjv\fR arranges to
+invoke a single Tcl command whose words have already been separated
+and substituted. The \fIobjc\fR and \fIobjv\fR parameters give the
+words of the command to be evaluated when execution reaches the
+trampoline.
 .PP
-\fBTcl_NRExprObj\fR pushes a function that evaluates \fIobjPtr\fR as an
-expression in the same manner as \fBTcl_ExprObj\fR but without consuming space
-on the C stack.
+\fBTcl_NRCmdSwap\fR allows for trampoline evaluation of a command whose
+resolution is already known.  The \fIcmd\fR parameter gives a
+\fBTcl_Command\fR token (returned from \fBTcl_CreateObjCommand\fR or
+\fBTcl_GetCommandFromObj\fR) identifying the command to be invoked in
+the trampoline; this command must match the word in \fIobjv[0]\fR.
+The remaining arguments are as for \fBTcl_NREvalObjv\fR.
 .PP
-All of the functions return \fBTCL_OK\fR if the evaluation of the script,
-command, or expression has been scheduled successfully.  Otherwise (for example
-if the command name cannot be resolved), they return \fBTCL_ERROR\fR and store
-a message as the interpreter's result.
+\fBTcl_NREvalObj\fR, \fBTcl_NREvalObjv\fR and \fBTcl_NRCmdSwap\fR
+all accept a \fIflags\fR parameter, which is an OR-ed-together set of
+bits to control evaluation. At the present time, the only supported flag
+available to callers is \fBTCL_EVAL_GLOBAL\fR.
+.\" TODO: Again, this is a lie. Do we want to explain TCL_EVAL_INVOKE
+.\"       and TCL_EVAL_NOERR?
+If the \fBTCL_EVAL_GLOBAL\fR flag is set, the script or command is
+evaluated in the global namespace. If it is not set, it is evaluated
+in the current namespace.
 .PP
-\fBTcl_NRAddCallback\fR pushes \fIpostProcPtr\fR.  The signature for
-\fBTcl_NRPostProc\fR is:
+\fBTcl_NRExprObj\fR arranges for the expression contained in \fIobjPtr\fR
+to be evaluated in the interpreter designated by \fIinterp\fR after
+the current command (which must be trampoline-enabled) returns. It is
+the method by which a command may evaluate a Tcl expression without consuming
+space on the C stack.  The argument \fIresultPtr\fR is a pointer to an
+unshared Tcl_Obj where the result of expression evaluation is to be written.
+If expression evaluation returns any code other than TCL_OK, the
+\fIresultPtr\fR value is left untouched.
+.PP
+All of the routines return \fBTCL_OK\fR if command or expression invocation
+has been scheduled successfully. If for any reason the scheduling cannot
+be completed (for example, if the interpreter is unable to find
+the requested command), they return \fBTCL_ERROR\fR with an
+appropriate message left in the interpreter's result.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_NRAddCallback\fR arranges to have a C function called when the
+current trampoline-enabled command in the Tcl interpreter designated
+by \fIinterp\fR returns.  The \fIpostProcPtr\fR argument is a pointer
+to the callback function, which must have arguments and return value
+consistent with the \fBTcl_NRPostProc\fR data type:

        int \fIresult\fR);
 .CE
 .PP
-\fIdata\fR is a pointer to an array containing \fIdata0\fR through \fIdata3\fR.
-\fIresult\fR is the value returned by the previous function implementing part
-the routine.
+When the trampoline invokes the callback function, the \fIdata\fR
+parameter will point to an array containing the four one-word
+quantities that were passed to \fBTcl_NRAddCallback\fR in the
+\fIdata0\fR through \fIdata3\fR parameters. The Tcl interpreter will
+be designated by the \fIinterp\fR parameter, and the \fIresult\fR
+parameter will contain the result (\fBTCL_OK\fR, \fBTCL_ERROR\fR,
+\fBTCL_RETURN\fR, \fBTCL_BREAK\fR or \fBTCL_CONTINUE\fR) that was
+returned by the command evaluation. The callback function is expected,
+in turn, either to return a \fIresult\fR to control further evaluation.
+.PP
+Multiple \fBTcl_NRAddCallback\fR invocations may request multiple
+callbacks, which may be to the same or different callback

 .SH DESCRIPTION
 .PP
-These routines save the state of an interpreter before a call to a routine such
-as \fBTcl_Eval\fR, and restore the state afterwards.
+These routines allows a C procedure to take a snapshot of the current
+state of an interpreter so that it can be restored after a call
+to \fBTcl_Eval\fR or some other routine that modifies the interpreter
+state.  There are two triplets of routines meant to work together.
 .PP
-\fBTcl_SaveInterpState\fR saves the parts of \fIinterp\fR that comprise the
-result of a script, including the resulting value, the return code passed as
-\fIstatus\fR, and any options such as \fB\-errorinfo\fR and \fB\-errorcode\fR.
-It returns a token for the saved state.  The interpreter result is not reset
-and no interpreter state is changed.
+The first triplet stores the snapshot of interpreter state in
+an opaque token returned by \fBTcl_SaveInterpState\fR.  That token
+value may then be passed back to one of \fBTcl_RestoreInterpState\fR
+or \fBTcl_DiscardInterpState\fR, depending on whether the interp
+state is to be restored.  So long as one of the latter two routines
+is called, Tcl will take care of memory management.
 .PP
-\fBTcl_RestoreInterpState\fR restores the state indicated by \fIstate\fR and
-returns the \fIstatus\fR originally passed in the corresponding call to
-\fBTcl_SaveInterpState\fR.
+The second triplet stores the snapshot of only the interpreter
+result (not its complete state) in memory allocated by the caller.
+These routines are passed a pointer to \fBTcl_SavedResult\fR
+that is used to store enough information to restore the interpreter result.
+\fBTcl_SavedResult\fR can be allocated on the stack of the calling
+procedure.  These routines do not save the state of any error
+information in the interpreter (e.g. the \fB\-errorcode\fR or
+\fB\-errorinfo\fR return options, when an error is in progress).
 .PP
-If a saved state is not restored, \fBTcl_DiscardInterpState\fR must be called
-to release it.  A token used to discard or restore state must not be used
-again.
+Because the routines \fBTcl_SaveInterpState\fR,
+\fBTcl_RestoreInterpState\fR, and \fBTcl_DiscardInterpState\fR perform
+a superset of the functions provided by the other routines,
+any new code should only make use of the more powerful routines.
+The older, weaker routines \fBTcl_SaveResult\fR, \fBTcl_RestoreResult\fR,
+and \fBTcl_DiscardResult\fR continue to exist only for the sake
+of existing programs that may already be using them.
 .PP
-\fBTcl_SaveResult\fR, \fBTcl_RestoreResult\fR, and \fBTcl_DiscardResult\fR are
-deprecated.  Instead use \fBTcl_SaveInterpState\fR,
-\fBTcl_RestoreInterpState\fR, and \fBTcl_DiscardInterpState\fR, which are more
-capable.
+\fBTcl_SaveInterpState\fR takes a snapshot of those portions of
+interpreter state that make up the full result of script evaluation.
+This include the interpreter result, the return code (passed in
+as the \fIstatus\fR argument, and any return options, including
+\fB\-errorinfo\fR and \fB\-errorcode\fR when an error is in progress.
+This snapshot is returned as an opaque token of type \fBTcl_InterpState\fR.
+The call to \fBTcl_SaveInterpState\fR does not itself change the
+state of the interpreter.  Unlike \fBTcl_SaveResult\fR, it does
+not reset the interpreter.
 .PP
-\fBTcl_SaveResult\fR moves the result of \fIinterp\fR to the location
-\fIstatePtr\fR points to and returns the interpreter result to its initial
-state.  It does not save options such as \fB\-errorcode\fR or
-\fB\-errorinfo\fR.
+\fBTcl_RestoreInterpState\fR accepts a \fBTcl_InterpState\fR token
+previously returned by \fBTcl_SaveInterpState\fR and restores the
+state of the interp to the state held in that snapshot.  The return
+value of \fBTcl_RestoreInterpState\fR is the status value originally
+passed to \fBTcl_SaveInterpState\fR when the snapshot token was
+created.

-.BE
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-Abstract classes are classes that can contain definitions, but which cannot be
-directly manufactured; they are intended to only ever be inherited from and
-instantiated indirectly. The characteristic methods of \fBoo::class\fR
-(\fBcreate\fR and \fBnew\fR) are not exported by an instance of
-\fBoo::abstract\fR.
-.PP
-Note that \fBoo::abstract\fR is not itself an instance of \fBoo::abstract\fR.
-.SS CONSTRUCTOR
-The \fBoo::abstract\fR class does not define an explicit constructor; this
-means that it is effectively the same as the constructor of the
-\fBoo::class\fR class.
-.SS DESTRUCTOR
-The \fBoo::abstract\fR class does not define an explicit destructor;
-destroying an instance of it is just like destroying an ordinary class (and
-will destroy all its subclasses).
-.SS "EXPORTED METHODS"
-The \fBoo::abstract\fR class defines no new exported methods.
-.SS "NON-EXPORTED METHODS"
-The \fBoo::abstract\fR class explicitly states that \fBcreate\fR,
-\fBcreateWithNamespace\fR, and \fBnew\fR are unexported.
-.SH EXAMPLES
-.PP
-This example defines a simple class hierarchy and creates a new instance of
-it. It then invokes a method of the object before destroying the hierarchy and
-showing that the destruction is transitive.

-The \fBcallback\fR command,
-'\" Based on notes in the tcllib docs, we know the provenance of mymethod
-also called \fBmymethod\fR for compatibility with the ooutil and snit packages
-of Tcllib,
-and which should only be used from within the context of a call to a method
-(i.e. inside a method, constructor or destructor body) is used to generate a
-script fragment that will invoke the method, \fImethodName\fR, on the current
-object (as reported by \fBself\fR) when executed. Any additional arguments
-provided will be provided as leading arguments to the callback. The resulting
-script fragment shall be a proper list.
-.PP
-Note that it is up to the caller to ensure that the current object is able to
-handle the call of \fImethodName\fR; this command does not check that.
-\fImethodName\fR may refer to any exported or unexported method, but may not
-refer to a private method as those can only be invoked directly from within
-methods. If there is no such method present at the point when the callback is
-invoked, the standard \fBunknown\fR method handler will be called.
-.SH EXAMPLE
-This is a simple echo server class. The \fBcallback\fR command is used in two
-places, to arrange for the incoming socket connections to be handled by the
-\fIAccept\fR method, and to arrange for the incoming bytes on those
-connections to be handled by the \fIReceive\fR method.

+.PP
+\fINote: the \fBcase\fI command is obsolete and is supported only
+for backward compatibility.  At some point in the future it may be
+removed entirely.  You should use the \fBswitch\fI command instead.\fR
+.PP
+The \fBcase\fR command matches \fIstring\fR against each of
+the \fIpatList\fR arguments in order.
+Each \fIpatList\fR argument is a list of one or
+more patterns.  If any of these patterns matches \fIstring\fR then
+\fBcase\fR evaluates the following \fIbody\fR argument
+by passing it recursively to the Tcl interpreter and returns the result
+of that evaluation.
+Each \fIpatList\fR argument consists of a single
+pattern or list of patterns.  Each pattern may contain any of the wild-cards
+described under \fBstring match\fR.  If a \fIpatList\fR
+argument is \fBdefault\fR, the corresponding body will be evaluated
+if no \fIpatList\fR matches \fIstring\fR.  If no \fIpatList\fR argument
+matches \fIstring\fR and no default is given, then the \fBcase\fR
+command returns an empty string.
+.PP
+Two syntaxes are provided for the \fIpatList\fR and \fIbody\fR arguments.
+The first uses a separate argument for each of the patterns and commands;
+this form is convenient if substitutions are desired on some of the
+patterns or commands.
+The second form places all of the patterns and commands together into
+a single argument; the argument must have proper list structure, with
+the elements of the list being the patterns and commands.
+The second form makes it easy to construct multi-line case commands,
+since the braces around the whole list make it unnecessary to include a
+backslash at the end of each line.
+Since the \fIpatList\fR arguments are in braces in the second form,
+no command or variable substitutions are performed on them;  this makes
+the behavior of the second form different than the first form in some
+cases.

-If \fBhttp::geturl\fR is called to make a request over a persistent

-.PP
-The http package does not support HTTP/1.0 persistent connections
-controlled by the \fBKeep-Alive\fR header.
-.SS "SPECIAL CASES"
-.PP
-This subsection discusses issues related to closure of the
-persistent connection by the server, automatic retry of failed requests,
-the special treatment necessary for POST requests, and the options for
-dealing with these cases.
-.PP
-In accordance with RFC 7230, \fBhttp::geturl\fR does not pipeline
-requests that use the POST method.  If a POST uses a persistent
-connection and is not the first request on that connection,
-\fBhttp::geturl\fR waits until it has received the response for the previous
-request; or (if \fBhttp::config\fR option \fB-postfresh\fR is boolean \fBtrue\fR) it
-uses a new connection for each POST.
-.PP
-If the server is processing a number of pipelined requests, and sends a
-response header
-.QW "\fBConnection: close\fR"
-with one of the responses (other than the last), then subsequent responses
-are unfulfilled. \fBhttp::geturl\fR will send the unfulfilled requests again
-over a new connection.
-.PP
-A difficulty arises when a HTTP client sends a request over a persistent
-connection that has been idle for a while.  The HTTP server may
-half-close an apparently idle connection while the client is sending a
-request, but before the request arrives at the server: in this case (an
-.QW "asynchronous close event" )
-the request will fail.  The difficulty arises because the client cannot
-be certain whether the POST modified the state of the server.  For HEAD or
-GET requests, \fBhttp::geturl\fR opens another connection and retransmits
-the failed request. However, if the request was a POST, RFC 7230 forbids
-automatic retry by default, suggesting either user confirmation, or
-confirmation by user-agent software that has semantic understanding of
-the application.  The \fBhttp::config\fR option \fB-repost\fR allows for
-either possibility.
-.PP
-Asynchronous close events can occur only in a short interval of time.  The
-\fBhttp\fR package monitors each persistent connection for closure by the
-server.  Upon detection, the connection is also closed at the client end,
-and subsequent requests will use a fresh connection.
-.PP
-If the \fBhttp::geturl\fR command is called with option \fB-keepalive true\fR,
-then it will both try to use an existing persistent connection
-(if one is available), and it will send the server a
-.QW "\fBConnection: keep-alive\fR"
-request header asking to keep the connection open for future requests.
-.PP
-The \fBhttp::config\fR options \fB-pipeline\fR, \fB-postfresh\fR, and
-\fB-repost\fR relate to persistent connections.
-.PP
-Option \fB-pipeline\fR, if boolean \fBtrue\fR, will pipeline GET and HEAD requests
-made
-over a persistent connection.  POST requests will not be pipelined - if the
-POST is not the first transaction on the connection, its request will not
-be sent until the previous response has finished.  GET and HEAD requests
-made after a POST will not be sent until the POST response has been
-delivered, and will not be sent if the POST fails.
-.PP
-Option \fB-postfresh\fR, if boolean \fBtrue\fR, will override the \fBhttp::geturl\fR option
-\fB-keepalive\fR, and always open a fresh connection for a POST request.
-.PP
-Option \fB-repost\fR, if \fBtrue\fR, permits automatic retry of a POST request
-that fails because it uses a persistent connection that the server has
-half-closed (an
-.QW "asynchronous close event" ).
-Subsequent GET and HEAD requests in a failed pipeline will also be retried.
-\fIThe -repost option should be used only if the application understands
-that the retry is appropriate\fR - specifically, the application must know
