safe interpreter, because it has access only to a virtualized path

Different levels of security can be selected by using the optional flags

All commands provided in the master interpreter by the Safe Base reside in
-the \fBsafe\fR namespace.
-\fB::safe::interpCreate\fR creates a new safe interpreter with options,
-described in the section \fBOPTIONS\fR.
-The return value is the name of the new safe interpreter created.
-\fB::safe::interpInit\fR is similar to \fB::safe::interpCreate\fR except that
-it requires as its first argument the name of a safe interpreter that was
-previously created directly using the \fBinterp\fR command.
-\fB::safe::interpDelete\fR deletes the interpreter named by its argument.
-\fB::safe::interpConfigure\fR can be used to set or get options for the named
-safe interpreters; the options are described in the section \fBOPTIONS\fR.
-.PP
-A virtual path is maintained in the master interpreter for each safe
-interpreter created by \fB::safe::interpCreate\fR or initialized by
-\fB::safe::interpInit\fR.
-The path maps tokens accessible in the safe interpreter into real path
-names on the local file system.
-This prevents safe interpreters from gaining knowledge about the
-structure of the file system of the host on which the interpeter is
-executing.
-When a token is used in a safe interpreter in a request to source or
-load a file, the token is translated to a real path name and the file to be
-sourced or loaded is located on the file system.
-The safe interpreter never gains knowledge of the actual path name under
-which the file is stored on the file system.
-Commands are provided in the master interpreter to manipulate the virtual
-path for a safe interpreter.
-\fB::safe::interpConfigure\fR can be used to set a new path for a safe
-interpreter.
-\fB::safe::interpAddToAccessPath\fR adds a directory to the virtual path for
-the named safe interpreter and returns the token by which that directory
-will be accessible in the safe interpreter.
-\fB::safe::interpFindInAccessPath\fR finds the
-requested directory in the virtual path for the named safe interpreter and
-returns the token by which that directory can be accessed in the safe

-.PP
The Safe Base does not attempt to completely prevent annoyance and
denial of service attacks. These forms of attack prevent the
application or user from temporarily using the computer to perform
useful work, for example by consuming all available CPU time or
all available screen real estate.

The commands available in a safe interpreter, in addition to
the safe set as defined in \fBinterp\fR manual page, are mediated aliases
for \fBsource\fR, \fBload\fR, \fBexit\fR, and a safe subset of \fBfile\fR.

Because some of these commands access the local file system, there is a
potential for information leakage about its directory structure.
-To prevent this, commands which take file names as arguments in a safe
+To prevent this, commands that take file names as arguments in a safe
interpreter use tokens instead of the real directory names.
These tokens are translated to the real directory name while a request to,
e.g., source a file is mediated by the master interpreter.
+This virtual path system is maintained in the master interpreter for each safe
+interpreter created by \fB::safe::interpCreate\fR or initialized by
+\fB::safe::interpInit\fR and
+the path maps tokens accessible in the safe interpreter into real path
+names on the local file system thus preventing safe interpreters
+from gaining knowledge about the
+structure of the file system of the host on which the interpreter is
+executing.
+The only valid file names arguments
+for the \fBsource\fR and \fBload\fR aliases provided to the slave
+are path in the form of
+\fB[file join \fR\fItoken filename\fR\fB]\fR (ie, when using the
+native file path formats: \fItoken\fR\fB/\fR\fIfilename\fR
+on Unix, \fItoken\fR\fB\\\fIfilename\fR on Windows,
+and \fItoken\fR\fB:\fR\fIfilename\fR on the Mac),
+where \fItoken\fR is representing one of the directories
+of the \fIaccessPath\fR list and \fIfilename\fR is
+one file in that directory (no sub directories access are allowed).
+.PP
+When a token is used in a safe interpreter in a request to source or
+load a file, the token is checked and
+translated to a real path name and the file to be
+sourced or loaded is located on the file system.
+The safe interpreter never gains knowledge of the actual path name under
+which the file is stored on the file system.
.PP
To further prevent potential information leakage from sensitive files that
are accidentally included in the set of files that can be sourced by a safe
-interpreter, the \fBsource\fR alias is restricted so that it can only
-source files with names that have the extension \fB.tcl\fR, that contain
-only one dot and that are forteen characters long or shorter.
+interpreter, the \fBsource\fR alias restricts access to files
+meeting the following constraints: the file name must
+fourteen characters or shorter, must not contain more than one dot ("\fB.\fR"),
+must end up with the extension \fB.tcl\fR or be called \fBtclIndex\fR.
+.PP
+Each element of the initial access path
+list will be assigned a token that will be set in
+the slave \fBauto_path\fR and the first element of that list will be set as
+the \fBtcl_library\fR for that slave.
.PP
-The default value of the Tcl variable \fBauto_path\fR in a safe interpreter
-is a virtualized token list for the directories in the value of its
-master's \fBauto_path\fR variable and their immediate subdirectories.
-The first token in this list is also assigned to the Tcl varibale
-\fBtcl_library\fR in the safe interpreter.
+If the access path argument is not given or is the empty list,
+the default behavior is to let the slave access the same packages
+as the master has access to (Or to be more precise:
+only packages written in Tcl (which by definition can't be dangerous
+as they run in the slave interpreter) and C extensions that
+provides a Safe_Init entry point). For that purpose, the master's
+\fBauto_path\fR will be used to construct the slave access path.
+In order that the slave successfully loads the Tcl library files
+(which includes the auto-loading mechanism itself) the \fBtcl_library\fR will be
+added or moved to the first position if necessary, in the
+slave access path, so the slave
+\fBtcl_library\fR will be the same as the master's (its real
+path will still be invisible to the slave though).
+In order that auto-loading works the same for the slave and
+the master in this by default case, the first-level
+sub directories of each directory in the master \fBauto_path\fR will
+also be added (if not already included) to the slave access path.
You can always specify a more
restrictive path for which sub directories will never be searched by
explicitly specifying your directory list with the \fB\-accessPath\fR flag
instead of relying on this default mechanism.
+.PP
+When the \fIaccessPath\fR is changed after the first creation or
+initialization (ie through \fBinterpConfigure -accessPath \fR\fIlist\fR),
+an \fBauto_reset\fR is automatically evaluated in the safe interpreter
+to synchronize its \fBauto_index\fR with the new token list.
