tcl::transform::limitsize - limiting input
SYNOPSIS
package require Tcl 8.6
package require tcl::transform::core ?1?
package require tcl::transform::limitsize ?1?
::tcl::transform::limitsize chan max
_________________________________________________________________DESCRIPTION
The tcl::transform::limitsize package provides a command creating a
channel transformation which limits the number of characters which can
be read from the channel. A generator for an artificial EOF.
The internal TclOO class implementing the transform handler is a sub-
class of the tcl::transform::core framework.
API
::tcl::transform::limitsize chan max
This command creates a size limiting transformation on top of
the channel chan and returns its handle.
max is the number of bytes which can be read from the channel
before EOF is signaled by the transformation. Note that popping
the transformation clears the EOF it generated as well.
