adding to the tool bar?

adding to the tool bar?

[David Masterson]

I'd like to learn how to create and/or update a toolbar.  I see in
"(emacs) Tool Bars" some talk about how to turn toolbars on and off, but
I don't see the process for (say) updating the default toolbar to add my
own commands.  Where should I look?

(similarly for menubars)

I'd start in "(elisp) Tool Bar", and also study tool-bar.el.

"(elisp) Menu Keymaps" is a good starting point.

In general, since this is not user-level stuff, the right place to
look is in the ELisp manual.

How do you inspect a menu-bar or tool-bar (like describe-variable) to
determine it's structure and what functions it is calling?  That's
usually a goo way of learning how these things work.  I see the
functions used to create/add-to a menu-bar/tool-bar in the Elisp manual,
but not inspection tools.

They are keybindings, so the usual functions, like lookup-key
etc. would be my first try.
