   Description
  </title>

  <para>
   <command>pgtksh</command> is a <application>Tcl/Tk</application>
   shell interface extended with <productname>PostgreSQL</productname>
   database access functions.  (Essentially, it is
   <command>wish</command> with <filename>libpgtcl</filename> loaded.)
   Like with <command>wish</command>, the regular
   <application>Tcl/Tk</application> shell, the first command line
   argument is a script file, any remaining arguments are passed to
   the script.  Special options may be processed by the
   <application>X Window System</application> libraries instead.
   If no script file is named, the shell is interactive.
  </para>

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