   Description
  </title>

  <para>
   <command>pgtclsh</command> is a <application>Tcl</application>
   shell interface extended with
   <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> database access functions.
   (Essentially, it is <command>tclsh</command> with
   <filename>libpgtcl</filename> loaded.)  Like with the regular
   <application>Tcl</application> shell, the first command line
   argument is a script file, any remaining arguments are passed to
   the script.  If no script file is named, the shell is
   interactive.
  </para>

  <para>
   A <application>Tcl</application> shell with
   <application>Tk</application> and
   <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> functions is available as <xref
   linkend="app-pgtksh">.
