::tcl::chan::cat chan...
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.
-
::tcl::chan::cat chan...
- This command creates the concatenation channel using all
the provided channels, and returns its handle.
This document, and the package it describes, will undoubtedly contain bugs and
other problems. Please report such in the category
virtchannel of the
Tcllib Trackers [
http://core.tcl.tk/tcllib/reportlist]. Please also
report any ideas for enhancements you may have for either package and/or
documentation.
When proposing code changes, please provide
unified diffs, i.e the output
of
diff -u.
Note further that
attachments are strongly preferred over inlined
patches. Attachments can be made by going to the
Edit form of the
ticket immediately after its creation, and then using the left-most button in
the secondary navigation bar.
