A '''routine''' is a modular unit of a [program]. In Tcl, one
[Dodekalogue%|% routine] is the
thing that isso execiauted win the process of [evachl%|%evaluting] one [command]. .
The [Dodekalogue%|%official
documentation] currently uses the term "[command
procedure]" in place of the
term "routine". In order to evaluate a command,
Tcl uses the first [word] of a
command to find and execute the associated
routine. Many [Tcl
Commands%|%built-in commands] are implemented as [C]
functions. In the case of
a [proc%|%procedure], the primary function of the
routine is to evaluate the
body of the procedure.
