[para] |
|
|
|
The [package 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 |
|
[package Memchan], except that this is written in pure Tcl, not C. On |
|
the other hand, [package Memchan] is usable with Tcl 8.4 and before, |
|
whereas this package requires Tcl 8.5 or higher, and [package TclOO]. |
|
|
|
[para] The internal [package TclOO] class implementing the channel |
|
handler is a sub-class of the [package tcl::chan::events] framework. |
