random - Create and manipulate randomizer channels
SYNOPSIS
package require Tcl
package require memchan
random
_________________________________________________________________DESCRIPTION
random creates a random channel which absorbs everything written into it and uses it as a seed for a random number generator. This genera-
tor is used to create a random sequence of bytes when reading from the channel. It is not possible to seek the channel.
OPTIONS
Memory channels created by random provide one additional option to set or query.
-delay ?milliseconds?
A random channel is always writable and readable. This means that all fileevent-handlers will fire continuously. To avoid starva-
tion 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.
SEE ALSO
fifo, fifo2, memchan, null, zero
KEYWORDS
channel, i/o, in-memory channel, random

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.
