read(3tcl) 💖 — aka the Tcl Built-In Commands manual, bestie

okay so. we're in the Tcl Built-In Commands section of the manual, page name read, and I need you to brace yourself because this one is short and a little sad. 😭

✨ NAME ✨

read — read from a channel 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

read ?-nonewline? channel
read channel numChars

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so here's the tea, and it's giving deprecation era: the read command has been superceded by the chan read command. 🫶

and the good news? chan read supports the same syntax and options, so like… you're not losing anything, bestie. same vibes, new home. ✨

lowkey a glow-up moment for your scripts: if you see read out in the wild, just know chan read is the main character now. 👑

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

that's literally it, that's the whole page. no cap. 🌈

mwah — this was the read(3tcl) page from the Tcl manual, version 8.1. take care of yourself, hydrate, and go call chan read instead. 💖🎀🌸🦋💅
