NAME
tcl::transform::spacer - Space insertation and removal
SYNOPSIS
package require Tcl 8.6
package require tcl::transform::core ?1?
package require tcl::transform::spacer ?1?
::tcl::transform::spacer chan n ?space?
______________________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
The tcl::transform::spacer package provides a command creating a chan-
nel transformation which adds spacing to the data written to it, and
removes such spacing from the data read from it.
The internal TclOO class implementing the transform handler is a sub-
class of the tcl::transform::core framework.
API
::tcl::transform::spacer chan n ?space?
This command creates a spacer transformation on top of the chan-
nel chan and returns its handle.
The space character sequence will be added every n bytes of data
written, and on the read side the same is done in reverse, re-
moving the spacing. If space is not specified it defaults to a
single space character (ASCII 32).
