DESCRIPTION

       The  tcl::chan::std  package  provides a command creating a standard channel which unifies
       stdin and stdout into a single read- and writable channel. The result  is  not  seek-able,
       like the original standard channels.

       The  internal  TclOO  class  implementing  the  channel  handler  is  a  sub-class  of the
       tcl::chan::core framework.

API

       ::tcl::chan::std
              This command creates the std channel and returns its handle.

              The channel is created only once, on the first call, and all  future  calls  simply
              return this handle.
