       1mlgets 4m22mfileId24m ?4mvarName24m?
              Reads  the  next Tcl list from the file given by 4mfileId24m and dis-
              cards the terminating newline character.  This  command  differs
              from  the  1mgets  22mcommand, in that it reads Tcl lists rather than
              lines.  If the list contains newlines or binary data, then  that
              newline or bytes of zero will be returned as part of the result.
              Only a newline not quoted as part of the list indicates the  end
              of  the  list.  There is no corresponding command for outputting
              lists, as 1mputs 22mwill do this correctly.

              If 4mvarName24m is specified, then the line is placed in the variable
              by  that  name  and the return value is a count of the number of
              characters read (not including the newline).  If the end of  the
              file  is  reached  before  reading  any  characters  then  -1 is
              returned and 4mvarName24m is set to an empty string.  If  4mvarName24m  is
              specified  and  an error occurs, what ever data was read will be
              returned in the variable, however the resulting string  may  not
              be a valid list.

              If  4mvarName24m  is  not specified then the return value will be the
              line (minus the newline character) or an empty string if the end
              of  the file is reached before reading any characters.  An empty
              string will also be returned if a line  contains  no  characters
              except the newline, so 1meof 22mmay have to be used to determine what
              really happened.

              The 1mlgets 22mcommand maybe used to read and write lists  containing
              binary  data,  however translation must be set to 1mlf 22mor the data
              maybe corrupted.

              If 1mlgets 22mis currently supported on non-blocking files.
