A global array created by Tcl on startup, where keys hold proc names, and the value is a script indicating how to make the key-named proc available (typically source with full pathname of a Tcl file). Tcl initialises the array by sourcing tclIndex files. See the library manpage for more.

For finding the location of the source for auto_loaded commands, this array is very useful. E.g., for parray do

  set auto_index(parray)
