okay bestie, welcome to the deleg_proc page, you're gonna eat this one up fr fr ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

deleg_proc — Creation of comm delegates (procedures)

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

package require Tcl 8.5 9

package require interp::delegate::proc ?0.3?

::interp::delegate::proc ?-async? name arguments comm id

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This package is literally just one command, and its whole personality is making procedures for you that hand the actual work off to a remote location. Like, the vibes go through a "channel" that the package comm made. That's it, that's the plot 💅

---

🎀 API 🎀

• ::interp::delegate::proc ?-async? name arguments comm id — bestie this command creates a procedure, and the procedure is named by name, and it gives you back its fully-qualified name. Every single time you invoke that procedure, it delegates the actual work to the remote location — which is identified by the comm channel comm and the endpoint id. no cap.

The name of the remote procedure that the delegator invokes is [namespace tail name]. iykyk — that means all the namespace info gets stripped right off the call. gone. ✂️

So normally, the generated procedure marshalls the arguments and then returns the result from the remote procedure as its own result. cute, right? BUT — if you specified the -async option, the generated procedure is not gonna wait around for a result. it returns immediately. main character energy, no waiting in line 💅
