util::max (public)

 util::max [ args... ]

Defined in packages/acs-tcl/tcl/utilities-procs.tcl

Returns the maximum of a list of numbers. Example: max 2 3 1.5 returns 3. Since Tcl8.5, numerical min and max are among the math functions supported by expr. The reason why this proc is still around is that it supports also non-numerical values in the list, in a way that is not so easily replaceable by a lsort idiom (but could).
