33.4.2 The INDEX file

The optional INDEX file provides a categorical view of the functions in the package. This file has a very simple format

• Lines beginning with # are comments.
• The first non-comment line should look like this

  toolbox >> Toolbox name
  

• Lines beginning with an alphabetical character indicates a new category of functions.
• Lines starting with a white space character indicate that the function names on the line belong to the last mentioned category.

The format can be summarized with the following example

# A comment
toolbox >> Toolbox name
Category Name 1
 function1 function2 function3
 function4
Category Name 2
 function2 function5
