A typical computer system consists of one hard drive which uses only a single channel of communication to transfer data. On a RAID-0 system which uses multiple channels to transfer information, data is transferred twice as fast. This significantly increases data read and write speeds.

For some reason 8.1 Mandrake Linux seems much slower than Windows 2000 with my cable modem. DSL reports test says they conferable speed with Windows2 though.

transfer::data::destination(n) Data transfer facilities transfer::data::destination(n)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
NAME
transfer::data::destination - Data destination
SYNOPSIS
package require Tcl 8.4
package require snit ?1.0?
package require transfer::data::destination ?0.1?
transfer::data::destination object ?options...?
object destroy
object put chunk
object done
object valid msgvar
object receive channel done
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
This package provides objects mainly describing the destination of a data transfer. They are also able to initiate the reception of infor-
mation from a channel into the described destination.
API
transfer::data::destination object ?options...?
This command creates and configures a new destination object. The fully qualified name of the object command is returned as the
result of the command.
The recognized options are listed below. It should be noted that all are semi-exclusive, each specifying a different type of desti-
nation and associated information. If these options are specified more than once then the last option specified is used to actually
configure the object.
-channel handle
This option specifies that the destination of the data is a channel, and its associated argument is the handle of the channel
to write the received data to.
-file path
This option specifies that the destination of the data is a file, and its associated argument is the path of the file to
write the received data to.
-variable varname
This option specifies that the destination of the data is a variable, and its associated argument contains the name of the
variable to write the received data to. The variable is assumed to be global or namespaced, anchored at the global namespace.
object destroy
This method destroys the object. Doing so while the object is busy with the reception of information from a channel will cause
errors later on, when the reception completes and tries to access the now missing data structures of the destroyed object.
object put chunk
The main receptor method. Saves the received chunk of data into the configured destination. It has to be called for each piece of
data received.
object done
The secondary receptor method. Finalizes the receiver. It has to be called when the receiving channel signals EOF. Afterward neither
itself nor method put can be called anymore.
object valid msgvar
This method checks the configuration of the object for validity. It returns a boolean flag as result, whose value is True if the
object is valid, and False otherwise. In the latter case the variable whose name is stored in msgvar is set to an error message
describing the problem found with the configuration. Otherwise this variable is not touched.
object receive channel done
This method initiates the reception of data from the specified channel. The received data will be stored into the configured desti-
nation, via calls to the methods put and done. When the reception completes the command prefix done is invoked, with the number of
received characters appended to it as the sole additional argument.
