tcl::chan::string - Read-only in-memory channel
SYNOPSIS
package require Tcl 8.5
package require TclOO
package require tcl::chan::events ?1?
package require tcl::chan::string ?1?
::tcl::chan::string content
_________________________________________________________________DESCRIPTION
The tcl::chan::string package provides a command creating channels
which live purely in memory. They provide random-access, i.e. are seek‐
able. In contrast to the channels created by tcl::chan::memchan they
are read-only however, their content is provided at the time of con‐
struction and immutable afterward.
Packages related to this are tcl::chan::memchan and tcl::chan::vari‐
able.
The internal TclOO class implementing the channel handler is a sub-
class of the tcl::chan::events framework.
API
::tcl::chan::string content
This command creates a new string channel and returns its han‐
dle. The channel provides random read-only access to the content
string.
