Create and manipulate randomizer channels






package require Tcl 


package require memchan 


random











  

  
creates a random channel which absorbs everything written into it and uses
      it as a seed for a random number generator. This generator is used to
      create a random sequence of bytes when reading from the channel. It is not
      possible to seek the channel.








Memory channels created by random provide one additional
    option to set or query.



  

  
A random channel is always writable and readable. This means that
      all fileevent-handlers will fire continuously. To avoid starvation
      of other event sources the events raised by this channel type have a
      configurable delay. This option is set in milliseconds and defaults to
    5.
