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.
