NAME¶
tcl::chan::cat - Concatenation channel
SYNOPSIS¶

package require
tcl::chan::cat ?1?
::tcl::chan::cat chan...
DESCRIPTION¶
The
tcl::chan::cat package provides a command creating concatenation
channels. These are non-seekable channels owning a list of subordinate
channels whose contents they return in order, until all are exhausted. In this
manner the channel is the concatentation of the contents of all the
sub-ordinate channels.
Note that the created channels take ownership of the channels they were
constructed with. Whenever they have exhausted one of their channel it will be
closed. Similarly, closing the cat channel will close all the sub-ordinates it
still has.
The internal
TclOO class implementing the channel handler is a sub-class
of the
tcl::chan::core framework.
Event handling is delegated to the currently active sub-channel.
API¶
- ::tcl::chan::cat chan...
- This command creates the concatenation channel using all the provided
channels, and returns its handle.
