Memchan

Homepage

Memchan is an extension library to the script language Tcl, as created by John Ousterhout. It provides several new channel types for in-memory channels and the appropriate commands for their creation.

They are useful to transfer large amounts of data between procedures or interpreters, and additionally provide an easy interface to on-the-fly generation of code or data too. No need to [set] or [append] to a string, just do a simple [puts].

The latest release of the extension is version 2.2.1 as of December 03, 2004.
