tcl::chan::nullzero(n)

✨ tcl::chan::nullzero ✨

okay bestie, welcome to tcl::chan::nullzero — part of the Tcllib reflected/virtual channel support family, and honestly? it's giving void. it's giving the abyss staring back, but politely. 🕳️💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

tcl::chan::nullzero — the Null/Zero channel combination. it's both. at once. iconic behavior fr fr 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

package require Tcl 8.5 9

package require TclOO

package require tcl::chan::events ?1.1?

package require tcl::chan::nullzero ?1.1?

::tcl::chan::nullzero

no cap, that's the whole vibe. ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the tcl::chan::nullzero package hands you a command that creates channels — and these channels are a combination of null and zero devices. like a bestie duo but as one entity. main character energy honestly 👑

what do they do? two things, and they ate:

• whatever you write to them, they immediately forget. instantly. gone. no notes, no memory, it never happened 💀
• when you read from them, you get an infinite stream of null characters. forever. it will never stop giving 🌈

the packages related to this one are tcl::chan::null and tcl::chan::zero — this is basically their collab era 🫶

also important: the internal TclOO class that implements the channel handler is a sub-class of the tcl::chan::events framework. so it's got that framework bloodline, iykyk. 🧚

---

💜 API 💜

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

😭 BUGS, IDEAS, FEEDBACK 😭

okay so real talk: this document, and the package it describes, will undoubtedly contain bugs and other problems. not being dramatic, it literally says so. 🙈

please report such things in the category virtchannel of the Tcllib Trackers at [http://core.tcl.tk/tcllib/reportlist].

also please report any ideas for enhancements you may have for either the package and/or the documentation. we want them. we're obsessed with them actually 💖

when you're proposing code changes, please provide unified diffs, i.e. the output of diff -u.

and note further: attachments are strongly preferred over inlined patches. you can make an attachment by going to the Edit form of the ticket immediately after its creation, and then using the left-most button in the secondary navigation bar. do it that way, bestie, trust 🙏
