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


SYNOPSIS
       package require Tcl  8.5

       package require TclOO

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

       package require tcl::chan::memchan  ?1.0.4?

       ::tcl::chan::memchan

DESCRIPTION
       The  tcl::chan::memchan  package  provides  a command creating channels which live purely in memory. They
       provide random-access, i.e. are seekable. This is equivalent to the  memchan  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.

       Packages related to this are tcl::chan::string and tcl::chan::variable.

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


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