Introducing Guartcl

Guardian is Jimmy Olsen with superhero gear.

Guartcl is Jim Tcl with extra bits.

Guardian Tcl is provided by the guartcl crate, and supplies a guarsh binary to run Guardian Tcl scripts.

Guardian uses Jim with all default extensions enabled, except for SSL. For full details on the Jim Tcl commands, see Jim Tcl manual. These pages only document Guardian’s extensions to Jim Tcl.

Installing

Guardian Tcl release binaries can be downloaded from Codeberg. The easiest way to install them is with cargo-binstall:

$ cargo binstall guartcl

It also works well to install Guardian with Mise. Add the following to your mise.toml or mise/config.toml:

[tools."forgejo:mdekstrand/rust-jim"]
version = "latest"
matching = "guartcl"
