.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
\fBNs_TclInitInterps\fR arranges for \fIinitProc\fR to be 
called on the startup initialization interp.
\fIinitProc\fR should have arguments and result that match the
type \fINs_TclInterpInitProc\fR:
.CS
typedef int Ns_TclInterpInitProc(Tcl_Interp \fI*interp\fR, void \fI*arg\fR);
.CE
The \fIarg\fR parameter to \fIinitProc\fR is a copy of the \fIarg\fR
argument given to \fBNs_TclInitInterps\fR.
A typical \fIinitProc\fR
will create new commands in the given interp with Tcl_CreateCommand.
The following AOLserver module example results in the \fImsg\fR
command being in all interps.  The command simply sets the "hello"
static string as the interp result:
.CS
static Ns_TclInterpInitProc AddCmds;
static Tcl_CmdProc MsgCmd;
int
Ns_ModuleInit(char *server, char *module)
{
    static char *arg = "hello";
    return Ns_TclInitInterps(server, AddCmds, arg);
}
static int
AddCmds(Tcl_Interp *interp, void *arg)
{
    Tcl_CreateCommand(interp, "msg", MsgCmd, arg, NULL);
    return TCL_OK;
}
static int
MsgCmd(ClientData arg, Tcl_Interp *interp, int argc, char **argv)
{
    Tcl_SetResult(interp, (char *) arg, TCL_STATIC);
    return TCL_OK;
}
.CE
In AOLserver 3.x, the effect of \fBNs_TclInitInterps\fR is to invoke
\fIinitProc\fR immediately on the single initializaton interp of the
server and the result of \fBNs_TclInitInterps\fR is the return code of
\fIinitProc\fR.  The state of this interp (command, procedures) will
then be copied to other interps when created via the
\fBNs_TclAllocInterp\fR routine.  This differs from the original
AOLserver 2.0 where \fIinitProc\fR was called on each interp in an
interp pool, the 2.1-2.3 behavior where \fIinitProc\fR was called once
on an interp linked to the per-server shared command tables, and the
upcoming 4.0 behavior where \fIinitProc\fR is called at interp create
time.  In fact, the 4.0 behavior is that of the
\fBNs_TclRegisterAtCreate\fR routine.  In practice, if your
\fIinitProc\fB does nothing but create commands with NULL or shared
client data the effect is the same in all releases.
.PP
\fBNs_TclInterpServer\fR returns the virtual server in which the given
interp was created.
.PP
\fBNs_TclLibrary\fR returns the shared Tcl library of the server installation
(e.g., /usr/local/aolserver/modules/tcl).
