one2oneArray, one2manyArray, many2oneArray, many2manyArray
Or a reference to a list. For example, pl after
set pl {{1 1 1} {1 1 2} {1 1 3} {1 1 4}} -or-
set pl {1,1,1 1,1,2 1,1,3 1,1,4}

EXAMPLES
package require IxTclHal
set host galaxy
set username user
# Check if we're running on UNIX - connect to the TCL Server
# which must be running on the chassis
if [isUNIX] {
if [ixConnectToTclServer $host] {
ixPuts "Could not connect to $host"
return 1
}
}
# Now connect to the chassis
if [ixConnectToChassis $host] {
ixPuts $::ixErrorInfo
return 1
}
# Get the chassis ID to use in port lists
set chas [ixGetChassisID $host]
set cardA 1
set portA 1
set cardB 1
set portB 2
# Four different port list formats
set portList1 [list $chas,$cardA,$portA]
set portList2 [list $chas,$cardA,$portA $chas,$cardB,$portB]
set portList3 [list [list $chas $cardA $portA] [list $chas $cardB $portB]]
set portList4 [list [list $chas,$cardA,$portA] [list $chas,$cardB,$portB]]
# Login before taking ownership

}
# Take ownership of the ports we'll use
