It returns the result or error from that command execution. \fIInterp\fR must be the name of an interpreter registered on the display associated with the interpreter in which the command is invoked; it need not be within the same process or application. If no \fIarg\fR arguments are present, then the command to be executed is contained entirely within the \fIcmd\fR argument. If one or more \fIarg\fRs are present, they are concatenated to form the command to be executed, just as for the \fBeval\fR Tcl command. .SH KEYWORDS interpreter, remote execution, send
