lindex - Retrieve an element from a list

As shipped in IRIX 6.5.5. Unchanged since IRIX 6.5.

NAME
     lindex - Retrieve an element from a list

SYNOPSIS
     lindex list index


DESCRIPTION
     This command treats list as a Tcl list and returns the index'th element
     from it (0 refers to the first element of the list).  In extracting the
     element, lindex observes the same rules concerning braces and quotes and
     backslashes as the Tcl command interpreter; however, variable
     substitution and command substitution do not occur.  If index is negative
     or greater than or equal to the number of elements in value, then an
     empty string is returned.  If index has the value end, it refers to the  |
     last element in the list.
