itcl::delete - delete things in the interpreter








itcl::delete option ?arg arg ...?












The delete command is used to delete things in the
    interpreter. It is implemented as an ensemble, so extensions can add their
    own options and extend the behavior of this command. By default, the
    delete command handles the destruction of namespaces.


The option argument determines what action is carried out
    by the command. The legal options (which may be abbreviated) are:



  

  
Deletes one or more [incr Tcl] classes called name.
      This deletes all objects in the class, and all derived classes as
    well.






If an error is encountered while destructing an object, it will
    prevent the destruction of the class and any remaining objects. To destroy
    the entire class without regard for errors, use the "delete
    namespace" command.





  

  
Deletes one or more [incr Tcl] objects called name.
      An object is deleted by invoking all destructors in its class hierarchy,
      in order from most- to least-specific. If all destructors are successful,
      data associated with the object is deleted and the name is removed
      as a command from the interpreter.






If the access command for an object resides in another namespace,
    then its qualified name can be used:






itcl::delete object foo::bar::x




If an error is encountered while destructing an object, the
    delete command is aborted and the object remains alive. To destroy an
    object without regard for errors, use the "rename" command
    to destroy the object access command.





  

  
Deletes one or more namespaces called name. This deletes all
      commands and variables in the namespace, and deletes all child namespaces
      as well. When a namespace is deleted, it is automatically removed from the
      import lists of all other namespaces.
