NAME

SYNOPSIS
package require Tcl 8.6
package require tcl::transform::core ?1?
package require tcl::transform::counter ?1?
::tcl::transform::counter chan -option value...
______________________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
The tcl::transform::counterr package provides a command creating a
channel transformation which passes the read and written bytes through
unchanged (like tcl::transform::identity), but additionally counts the
bytes it has seen for each direction and stores these counts in Tcl
variables specified at construction time.
Related transformations in this module are tcl::transform::adler32,
tcl::transform::crc32, tcl::transform::identity, and tcl::trans-
form::observe.
The internal TclOO class implementing the transform handler is a sub-
class of the tcl::transform::core framework.
API
::tcl::transform::counter chan -option value...
This command creates a counter transformation on top of the
channel chan and returns its handle. The accepted options are
-read-variable varname
The value of the option is the name of a global or names-
paced variable, the location where the transformation has
to store the byte count of the data read from the chan-
nel.
If not specified, or the empty string, the counter of the
read direction is not saved.
-write-variable varname
The value of the option is the name of a global or names-
paced variable, the location where the transformation has
to store the byte count of the data written to the chan-
nel.
If not specified, or the empty string, the counter of the
write direction is not saved.
