tcl::transform::hex(n)

✨ tcl::transform::hex — bestie edition ✨

okay so real talk, this is the manual page for tcl::transform::hex, living under the whole Reflected/virtual channel support umbrella in Tcllib. it's giving hexadecimal, it's giving channel magic, and honestly? iconic. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

tcl::transform::hex — Hexadecimal encoding transformation. that's it, that's the whole vibe. hex go in, hex go out. 🦋

---

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

package require Tcl 8.6 9

package require tcl::transform::core ?1.1?

package require tcl::transform::hex ?1.1?

::tcl::transform::hex chan

so like, you need Tcl 8.6 or 9 bestie, no cap. then you pull in the core framework and the hex transform itself, both optionally at version 1.1, and then you're off to the races. 🏁

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

The tcl::transform::hex package hands you a command that creates a channel transformation. and what does that little transformation do?? literally the whole thing:

• data you write to it gets hex encoded ✨
• data you read from it gets decoded back out 💫

it's a glow-up in both directions, fr fr.

a related transformation chillin' in this module is tcl::transform::base64 — same energy, different alphabet, iykyk.

and the internal TclOO class that implements the transform handler is a subclass of the tcl::transform::core framework. so it inherits all that core main-character energy. 👑

---

🎀 API 🎀

• ::tcl::transform::hex chan — this command creates a hex transformation sitting right on top of the channel chan, and returns its handle back to you. that handle? that's your new bestie. hold onto it. 🫶

also please send any ideas for enhancements you have for either the package and/or the documentation. we wanna hear it. 🙈

when you're proposing code changes, please provide unified diffs, i.e the output of diff -u. this is not optional bestie, it's the way. 🧚

and one more thing: attachments are strongly preferred over inlined patches. to attach something, go to the Edit form of the ticket immediately after its creation, then use the left-most button in the secondary navigation bar. yes, the left-most one. the one all the way over there. 👈
