ad_ns_set_to_tcl_vars (public, deprecated)

 ad_ns_set_to_tcl_vars [ -duplicates duplicates ] [ -level level ] \
    set_id

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

Deprecated. Invoking this procedure generates a warning.

Takes an ns_set and sets variables in the caller's environment correspondingly, i.e. if key is foo and value is bar, the Tcl var foo is set to bar. DEPRECATED: the few remaining usages of this API in upstream code were found to be easily replaceable with much saner and clearer idioms.

Switches:

-duplicates

(defaults to "overwrite") (optional)

This optional switch argument defines what happens if the Tcl var already exists, or if there are duplicate entries for the same key. overwrites just overwrites the var, which amounts to letting the ns_set win over pre-defined vars, and later entries in the ns_set win over earlier ones. ignore means the variable isn't overwritten. fail will make this proc fail with an error. This makes it easier to track subtle errors that could occur because of unpredicted name clashes.

-level

(defaults to "1") (optional)

The level to upvar to.

Parameters:

set_id
