USAGE

   ::pwtk::propagate script

DESCRIPTION

::pwtk::propagate adds the supplied script snippet to the propagate script, which is propagated to PWTK child instances. Child PWTK instances are remotes, backgrounds, threads, thread-pools, and queues.

Furthermore, ::pwtk::propagate also executes the supplied script, i.e., the whole action of ::pwtk::propagate is: 

      append propagate(script) $script\n
      uplevel 1 $script

For further details, see 5.3.7. Propagate.
