DESCRIPTION

24       The  tcl::chan::random package provides a command creating random chan‐
25       nels, i.e. read-only  channels  which  return  an  infinite  stream  of
26       pseudo-random  characters  upon  reading. This is similar to the random
27       channels provided by the package Memchan, except that this  is  written
28       in  pure  Tcl, not C, and uses a much simpler generator as well. On the
29       other hand, Memchan is usable with Tcl 8.4  and  before,  whereas  this
30       package requires Tcl 8.5 or 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

36       ::tcl::chan::random seed
37              This command creates a new random channel and returns  its  han‐
38              dle.   The  seed is a list of integer numbers used to initialize
39              the internal feedback shift register of the generator.
