+.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.

+\fBcase\fI string \fR?\fBin\fR? {\fIpatList body \fR?\fIpatList body \fR...?}

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.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.

+.PP
+.RS
+The default value of 0 is special, meaning that Tcl should
+convert numbers using as few digits as possible while still
+distinguishing any floating point number from its nearest
+neighbours.  It differs from using an arbitrarily high value
+for \fItcl_precision\fR in that an inexact number like \fI1.4\fR
+will convert as \fI1.4\fR rather than \fI1.3999999999999999\fR
+even though the latter is nearer to the exact value of the

+.RE
+.PP
+.RS
+If \fBtcl_precision\fR is not zero, then when Tcl converts a floating
+point number, it creates a decimal representation of at most
+\fBtcl_precision\fR significant digits; the result may be shorter if
+the shorter result represents the original number exactly. If no
+result of at most \fBtcl_precision\fR digits is an exact representation
+of the original number, the one that is closest to the original
+number is chosen.
+If the original number lies precisely between two equally accurate
+decimal representations, then the one with an even value for the least
+significant digit is chosen; for instance, if \fBtcl_precision\fR is 3, then
+0.3125 will convert to 0.312, not 0.313, while 0.6875 will convert to
+0.688, not 0.687. Any string of trailing zeroes that remains is trimmed.
+.RE
+.PP
+.RS
+a \fBtcl_precision\fR value of 17 digits is
+.QW perfect
+for IEEE floating-point in that it allows
+double-precision values to be converted to strings and back to
+binary with no loss of information. For this reason, you will often
+see it as a value in legacy code that must run on Tcl versions before
+8.5. It is no longer recommended; as noted above, a zero value is the

 .SH DESCRIPTION
-\fBTclZipfs_AppHook\fR is a utility function to perform standard application
-initialization procedures, taking into account available ZIP archives as
-follows:
-.IP [1]
-If the current application has a mountable ZIP archive, that archive is
-mounted under \fIZIPFS_VOLUME\fB/app\fR as a read-only Tcl virtual file
-system. \fIZIPFS_VOLUME\fR is usually \fB//zipfs:\fR on all platforms, but
-\fBzipfs:\fR may also be used on Windows (due to differences in the
-platform's filename parsing).
-.IP [2]
-If a file named \fBmain.tcl\fR is located in the root directory of that file
-system (i.e., at \fIZIPROOT\fB/app/main.tcl\fR after the ZIP archive is
-mounted as described above) it is treated as the startup script for the
-process.
-.IP [3]
-If the file \fIZIPROOT\fB/app/tcl_library/init.tcl\fR is present, the
-\fBtcl_library\fR global variable in the initial Tcl interpreter is set to
-\fIZIPROOT\fB/app/tcl_library\fR.
-.IP [4]
-If the directory \fBtcl_library\fR was not found in the main application
-mount, the system will then search for it as either a VFS attached to the
-application dynamic library, or as a zip archive named
-\fBlibtcl_\fImajor\fB_\fIminor\fB_\fIpatchlevel\fB.zip\fR either in the
-present working directory or in the standard Tcl install location. (For
-example, the Tcl 8.7.2 release would be searched for in a file
-\fBlibtcl_8_7_2.zip\fR.) That archive, if located, is also mounted read-only.
+\fBTclZipfs_AppHook()\fR is a utility function to perform standard
+application initialization procedures. If the current application has
+a mountable zip file system, that file system is mounted under \fIZIPROOT\fR\fB/app\fR.
+If a file named \fBmain.tcl\fR is located in that file system, it is treated
+as the startup script for the process. If the file \fIZIPROOT\fR\fB/app/tcl_library/init.tcl\fR
+is present, \fBtcl_library\fR is set to  \fIZIPROOT\fR\fB/app/tcl_library.
 .PP
-On Windows, \fBTclZipfs_AppHook\fR has a slightly different signature, since
-it uses WCHAR in stead of char. As a result, it requires your application to
-be compiled with the UNICODE preprocessor symbol defined (e.g., via the
-\fB-DUNICODE\fR compiler flag).
+On Windows, \fBTclZipfs_AppHook()\fR has a slightly different signature, it uses
+WCHAR in stead of char. As a result, it only works if your application is compiled
+using -DUNICODE.
 .PP
-The result of \fBTclZipfs_AppHook\fR is a Tcl result code (e.g., \fBTCL_OK\fR
-when the function is successful). The function \fImay\fR modify the variables
-pointed to by \fIargcPtr\fR and \fIargvPtr\fR to remove arguments; the
-current implementation does not do so, but callers \fIshould not\fR assume
-that this will be true in the future.
+If the \fBtcl_library\fR was not found in the application, the system will then search for it
+as either a VFS attached to the application dynamic library, or as a zip archive named
+libtcl_\fIMAJOR\fR_\fIMINOR\fR_\fIpatchLevel\fR.zip either in the present working directory
+or in the standard tcl install location.
 .PP
-\fBTclzipfs_Mount\fR mounts the ZIP archive \fIzipname\fR on the mount point
-given in \fImountpoint\fR using the optional ZIP password \fIpassword\fR.
-Errors during that process are reported in the interpreter \fIinterp\fR.  If
-\fImountpoint\fR is a NULL pointer, information on all currently mounted ZIP
-file systems is written into \fIinterp\fR's result as a sequence of mount
-points and ZIP file names.  The result of this call is a standard Tcl result
-code.
+\fBTclzipfs_Mount()\fR mount the ZIP archive \fIzipname\fR on the mount
+point given in \fImntpt\fR using the optional ZIP password \fIpasswd\fR.
+Errors during that process are reported in the interpreter \fIinterp\fR.
+If \fImountpoint\fR is a NULL pointer, information on all currently mounted
+ZIP file systems is written into \fIinterp\fR's result as a sequence of
+mount points and ZIP file names.
 .PP
-\fBTclzipfs_MountBuffer\fR mounts the ZIP archive in the buffer pointed to by
-\fIdata\fR on the mount point given in \fImountpoint\fR. The ZIP archive is
-assumed to be not password protected.  Errors during that process are reported
-in the interpreter \fIinterp\fR. The \fIcopy\fR argument determines whether
-the buffer is internally copied before mounting or not. The result of this
-call is a standard Tcl result code.
-.PP
-\fBTclzipfs_Unmount\fR undoes the effect of \fBTclzipfs_Mount\fR, i.e., it
-unmounts the mounted ZIP file system that was mounted from \fIzipname\fR (at
-\fImountpoint\fR). Errors are reported in the interpreter \fIinterp\fR.  The
-result of this call is a standard Tcl result code.
