+== Debugging Tcl scripts == #debugger
+
+Tcl scripts can be debugged with the `expect` tool, which provides a debugging interface similar to gdb for those who are familiar with that. For a command overview, just type `h` at the prompt.
+
+Run with:
+{{{
+$ expect -D1 <file> <args>
+}}}
+For example:
+{{{
+$ expect -D1 foo.tcl -bar
+1: proc main {args} {
+...
+dbg1.0>
 }}}
