🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so this is the read(n) page from the Tcl Built-In Commands manual, and bestie, it is literally:

read — Read from a channel 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

you can call it in two whole moods:

read ?-nonewline? channel

or

read channel numChars

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here’s the tea: read has been superceded by the chan read command. and chan read? it supports the same syntax and options. that’s the whole situation. no cap. 💅

👑 SEE ALSO 👑
