After looking in the man-page of Tcl_GetBoolean here is a more precise
answer.

"Tcl_GetBoolean expects string to specify a boolean value. If string is
any of 0, false, no, or off, then Tcl_GetBoolean stores a zero value at
*boolPtr. If string is any of 1, true, yes, or on, then 1 is stored at
*boolPtr. Any of these values may be abbreviated, and upper-case
spellings are also acceptable."

Hope that helps.

Mike
