tcl::tra...rm::zlib(n)

💖 tcl::tra...rm::zlib(n) 💖

ok so bestie, welcome to the n section of the manual — this is tcl::transform::zlib, part of the tcllib crew, and it is literally the zlib (de)compression glow-up for your channels. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

tcl::transform::zlib — zlib (de)compression, no cap 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

package require Tcl 8.6 9

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

package require tcl::transform::zlib ?1.1?

::tcl::transform::zlib chan ?level?

like. look at her. so clean. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So the tcl::transform::zlib package gives you a command that makes a channel transformation. What does that even mean? It means: whatever you write into it gets zlib-compressed, and whatever you read out of it gets decompressed. it's giving magical little squeeze-and-unsqueeze machine and honestly? obsessed. 😌

The internal TclOO class that actually implements this transform handler is a subclass of the tcl::transform::core framework — so it's inheriting all the core girlboss behaviour, iykyk. 👑

---

💅 API 💅

• ::tcl::transform::zlib chan ?level? — this command creates a zlib compressor transformation on top of the channel chan and hands you back its handle. 🎀

and the level? that's the drama meter — it says how much effort gets put into the compression. it runs from 0 all the way to 9, and it defaults to 4. so if you don't say anything, she's giving a comfy middle-effort vibe. 💖

😭 BUGS, IDEAS, FEEDBACK 😭

ngl, this document — and the package it describes — will undoubtedly contain bugs and other problems. it's giving "we're all just doing our best out here." 🙈

Please report such things in the category virtchannel of the Tcllib Trackers: http://core.tcl.tk/tcllib/reportlist. And please also send in any ideas for enhancements you have for either the package and/or the documentation — we want the ideas, we want the glow-up. ✨

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

also note: attachments are strongly preferred over inlined patches. you 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. that's the move. 🫶
