38. Exceptions
Many Tcl commands, such as if and while, have arguments that are Tcl scripts. The C functions for these commands evaluate them recursively to evaluate the scripts. If Tcl_EvalObjEx or any of its related evaluation functions returns a completion code other than TCL_OK, an exception is said to have occurred.
