The idebug command provides an interactive debugging environment
    for procedures via TkCon. You can place idebug break commands into your
    procedure to create breakpoints. It will pop up the TkCon console and put
    you into a "debugging" mode. The body, show &
    trace methods are intended for internal use only. This procedure
    works for minimal debugging sessions. Comments are encouraged.



  

  
Prints out the body of the command (if it is a procedure) at the specified
      level. level defaults to the current level.

  

  
Creates a breakpoint within a procedure. This will only trigger if idebug
      is on and the id matches the pattern. If so, TkCon will pop to the
      front with the prompt changed to an idebug prompt. You are given the basic
      ability to observe the call stack an query/set variables or execute Tcl
      commands at any level. A separate history is maintained in debugging mode.
      To see the special commands available at the debug prompt, type ? and hit
      return.

  

  
Behaves just like echo, but only triggers when idebug is on. You
      can specify an optional id to further restrict triggering. If no id
      is specified, it defaults to the name of the command in which the call was
      made.

  

  
Query or set the idebug id. This id is used by other idebug methods to
      determine if they should trigger or not. The idebug id can be a glob
      pattern and defaults to *.

  

  
Turns idebug off.

  

  
Turns idebug on. If id is specified, it sets the id to it.

  

  
Behaves just like puts, but only triggers when idebug is on. You
      can specify an optional id to further restrict triggering. If no id
      is specified, it defaults to the name of the command in which the call was
      made.

  

  
type must be one of vars, locals or globals. This method will output the
      variables/locals/globals present in a particular level. If VERBOSE
      is added, then it actually dumps out the values as well. level
      defaults to the level in which this method was called.

  

  
Prints out the stack trace from the specified level up to the top level.
      level defaults to the current level.
