\fBauto_mkindex foo *.tcl\fR

will read all the \fB.tcl\fR files in subdirectory \fBfoo\fR and
generate a new index file \fBfoo/tclIndex\fR.

\fBAuto_mkindex\fR parses the Tcl scripts by sourcing them into a
slave interpreter and monitoring the proc and namespace commands that
child interpreter and monitoring the proc and namespace commands that
are executed.  Extensions can use the (undocumented)
auto_mkindex_parser package to register other commands that can
contribute to the auto_load index. You will have to read through
auto.tcl to see how this works.
