🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So the tcl::chan::nullzero package hands you a command that makes channels, and these channels are a combo of the null and zero devices. The way that they immediately forget whatever you write to them?? iconic. And on reading they return an infinite stream of null characters. fr fr, infinite. no cap. ✨

The packages related to this one are tcl::chan::null and tcl::chan::zero — they're the siblings, the little family 🫶

Also important: the internal TclOO class that implements the channel handler is a sub-class of the tcl::chan::events framework. iykyk 💜

👑 API 👑

• ::tcl::chan::nullzero — this command creates a new nullzero channel and returns its handle. that's it, that's the whole job, and it ate 💅
