✨ term::send — bestie edition ✨

okay so this is the term::send page from section 3tcl, filed under Terminal control, and it's literally the most baby-steps package in the whole terminal family 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

term::send — general output to terminals, no cap 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

package require Tcl 8.5 9

package require term::send ?0.2?

::term::send::wrch chan str

::term::send::wr str

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so this package is like… the bare minimum. the most primitive little commands for yeeting characters at a terminal 🦋 it's giving "convenient wrappers around the builtin command puts", and honestly? iconic. no notes.

  • ::term::send::wrch chan str — sends the text str to the channel that the handle chan is pointing at 🌈 and here's the tea: unlike the builtin puts, this one does not slap a line terminator on the end of the string. it also forces a flush of both the Tcl internal buffers and the OS buffers, so those characters get processed immediately ✨ no sitting around in a buffer, no waiting, we're moving fast.
  • ::term::send::wr str — the low-effort bestie version 💅 works exactly like ::term::send::wrch, except the destination channel is hardcoded to stdout. that's it. that's the whole thing.
