NAME
       tcl::chan::fifo - In-memory fifo channel


SYNOPSIS
       package require Tcl  8.5

       package require TclOO

       package require tcl::chan::events  ?1?

       package require tcl::chan::fifo  ?1?

       ::tcl::chan::fifo

DESCRIPTION
       The  tcl::chan::fifo  package provides a command creating channels which live purely in memory. Access is
       fifo-like, i.e. things are read out of the channel in the  order  they  were  written  to  it.   This  is
       equivalent to the fifo channels provided by the package Memchan, except that this is written in pure Tcl,
       not C. On the other hand, Memchan is usable with Tcl 8.4 and before, whereas this  package  requires  Tcl
       8.5 or higher, and TclOO.

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


API
       ::tcl::chan::fifo
              This command creates a new fifo channel and returns its handle.
