DESCRIPTION

       The  tcl::transform::spacer  package  provides  a  command  creating  a channel transformation which adds
       spacing to the data written to it, and removes such spacing from the data read from it.

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

API

       ::tcl::transform::spacer chan n ?space?
              This command creates a spacer transformation on top of the channel chan and returns its handle.

              The space character sequence will be added every n bytes of data written, and on the read side the
              same  is  done in reverse, removing the spacing. If space is not specified it defaults to a single
              space character (ASCII 32).
