Instead of reading commands from standard input \fBtclsh\fR will
read Tcl commands from the named file; \fBtclsh\fR will exit
when it reaches the end of the file.

+The end of the file may be marked either by the physical end of
+the medium, or by the character, '\\032' ('\\u001a', control-Z).
+If this character is present in the file, the \fBtclsh\fR application
+will read text up to but not including the character. An application
+that requires this character in the file may safely encode it as
+``\\032'', ``\\x1a'', or ``\\u001a''; or may generate it by use of commands
+such as \fBformat\fR or \fBbinary\fR.

+There is no automatic evaluation of \fB.tclshrc\fR when the name

+line, but the script file can always \fBsource\fR it if desired.
