DESCRIPTION

24       The  tcl::chan::fifo package provides a command creating channels which
25       live purely in memory. Access is fifo-like, i.e. things are read out of
26       the  channel  in the order they were written to it.  This is equivalent
27       to the fifo channels provided by the package Memchan, except that  this
28       is  written  in  pure  Tcl, not C. On the other hand, Memchan is usable
29       with Tcl 8.4 and before, whereas  this  package  requires  Tcl  8.5  or
30       higher, and TclOO.
31
32       The  internal  TclOO  class  implementing the channel handler is a sub-
33       class of the tcl::chan::events framework.

API
