tcl::transform::spacer(n) 1 tcllib "Reflected/virtual channel support"
Name
tcl::transform::spacer - Space insertation and removal
Synopsis
- package require Tcl 8.6
- package require tcl::transform::core ?1?
- package require tcl::transform::spacer ?1?
Description
The tcl::transform::spacer package provides a command creating a channel transformation which adds spacing to the data written to it, and removes such spacing from the data read from it.
The internal TclOO class implementing the transform handler is a sub-class of the tcl::transform::core framework.
API
- ::tcl::transform::spacer chan n ?space?
This command creates a spacer transformation on top of the channel chan and returns its handle.
The space character sequence will be added every n bytes of data written, and on the read side the same is done in reverse, removing the spacing. If space is not specified it defaults to a single space character (ASCII 32).
