IMHO it would have been ways better if the NS header files could have been installed in some common location but, alas, this is not the case.

``plain C function'' here refers to the extern "C" declaration. The purpose is to avoid name mangling of symbols which would not allow the loader to find the symbol itself.

... module⁵

Please note that Modulename must be stripped of any eventual lib prefix, file extension and version numbers, and that the first letter must be capital. For example, if the library filename is mymodule.so, libmymodule.so or libmymodule12.so.1.2, the init function will have in all cases the name Mymodule_Init.For further information regarding the initialization function, please refer to the Tcl documentation of the load command.
