# tcl::chan::std(n) 1 tcllib "Reflected/virtual channel support"

## Name

tcl::chan::std - Standard I/O, unification of stdin and stdout

## Synopsis

- package require Tcl 8.5
- package require TclOO
- package require tcl::chan::core ?1?
- package require tcl::chan::std ?1?

- ::tcl::chan::std

## Description

The tcl::chan::std package provides a command creating a standard channel which unifies stdin and stdout into a single read- and writable channel. The result is not seek-able, like the original standard channels.

The internal TclOO class implementing the channel handler is a sub-class of the tcl::chan::core framework.

## API

::tcl::chan::std

  This command creates the std channel and returns its handle.

  The channel is created only once, on the first call, and all future calls simply return this handle.
