NAME¶
tcl::chan::memchan - In-memory channel
SYNOPSIS¶
package require
Tcl 8.5
package require
TclOO
package require
tcl::chan::events ?1?
package require
tcl::chan::memchan ?1?
::tcl::chan::memchan
DESCRIPTION¶
The
tcl::chan::memchan package provides a command creating channels which
live purely in memory. They provide random-access, i.e. are seekable. This is
equivalent to the memchan channels provided by the package
Memchan,
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.
Packages related to this are
tcl::chan::string and
tcl::chan::variable.
The internal
TclOO class implementing the channel handler is a sub-class
of the
tcl::chan::events framework.
API¶
- ::tcl::chan::memchan
- This command creates a new memchan channel and returns its handle.
