💖 gets — read a line from a channel 💖

okay bestie, so this is gets(3tcl), one of the OG Tcl Built-In Commands, and honestly? it's giving "retired icon". let's get into it 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

gets channel ?varName?

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the tea 🫖 — the gets command has been superseded by the chan gets command. and the way that chan gets supports the same syntax and the same options?? it literally just picks up where gets left off, no cap. 💅

so like, if you were about to reach for gets, lowkey just go say hi to chan gets instead. same energy, same args, main character behavior only ✨

and that's the whole page, bestie, it's a short one 🙈 this came from Tcl 7.5 in the gets(3tcl) manual, and the original footer was just out here being minimalist. anyways, mwah, go read your channels responsibly 💜🎀✨
