DESCRIPTION
       The  tcl::chan::string  package  provides  a  command creating channels which live purely in memory. They
       provide random-access, i.e. are seekable.  In contrast to the channels created by tcl::chan::memchan they
       are read-only however, their content is provided at the time of construction and immutable afterward.

       Packages related to this are tcl::chan::memchan 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::string content
              This command creates a new string channel and returns its  handle.  The  channel  provides  random
              read-only access to the content string.
