null

null(n) 																   null(n)

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

NAME

       null - Create and manipulate null channels

SYNOPSIS

       package require Tcl

       package require memchan

       null

_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       The command described here is only available in a not-yet released version of the package. Use the CVS to get the sources.

       null   creates  a null channel which absorbs everything written into it. Reading from it is not possible, or rather will always return zero
	      bytes. These channels are essentially Tcl-specific variants of the null device for unixoid operating systems (/dev/null).  Transfer-
	      ing the generated channel between interpreters is possible but does not make much sense.

OPTIONS

       Memory channels created by null provide one additional option to set or query.

       -delay ?milliseconds?
	      A  null channel is always writable and readable. This means that all fileevent-handlers will fire continuously.  To avoid starvation
	      of other event sources the events raised by this channel type have a configurable delay. This option  is	set  in  milliseconds  and
	      defaults to 5.

       A  null	channel  is always writable and never readable. This means that a writable fileevent-handler will fire continuously and a readable
       fileevent-handler never at all. The exception to the latter is only the destruction of the channel which will cause the delivery of an  eof
       event to a readable handler.
