NAME¶
tcl::chan::fifo - In-memory fifo channel
SYNOPSIS¶
package require
Tcl 8.5
package require
TclOO
package require
tcl::chan::events ?1?
package require
tcl::chan::fifo ?1?
::tcl::chan::fifo
DESCRIPTION¶
The
tcl::chan::fifo package provides a command creating channels which
live purely in memory. Access is fifo-like, i.e. things are read out of the
channel in the order they were written to it. This is equivalent to the fifo
channels provided by the package
Mmechan, except that this is written
in pure Tcl, not C. On the other hand,
Memchan is usable with Tcl 8.4
and before, whereas this package requires Tcl 8.5 or higher, and
TclOO.
The internal
TclOO class implementing the channel handler is a sub-class
of the
tcl::chan::events framework.
API¶
- ::tcl::chan::fifo
- This command creates a new fifo channel and returns its handle.
