Channel Types Group: = 8.3.1 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Andreas Kupries (andreas_kupries) Summary: Standard channel names not in help files Initial Comment: OriginalBugID: 5716 Bug Version: 8.3.1 SubmitDate: '2000-05-25' LastModified: '2000-05-29' Severity: MED Status: Assigned Submitter: techsupp ChangedBy: hobbs OS: All FixedDate: '2000-10-25' ClosedDate: '2000-10-25' Name: David LeBlanc ObservedBehavior: Neither the puts or fconfigure man pages (as in Windows hlp file), discuss the use or configurability of standard channel names like stderr, stdout, stdin (and maybe the windows specific ones like con?). DesiredBehavior: Add mention of these standard channel names to the man pages, and also discuss how/if the can be configured (for example to -encoding binary). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Andreas Kupries (andreas_kupries) Date: 2001-09-13 16:00 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=75003 David LeBlanc = <wh...@oz...> Here is a patch extending several manpages. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Donal K.

I'm having enough troulbe submitting this without trying to do TWO transactions.) On 'Windows, I'd have the word "channel" in the fconfigure, open, etc. "man" pages pop up a little descriptive window that says something about "Preconfigured channels like stdin, stdout, and stderr, or channels opened by [open] or [socket]". I'm embarrased to find that the std* channels are not in the index of my book. :-( -- Chris Nelson ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Donal K. Fellows (dkf) Date: 2000-12-08 06:54 Message: I'm thinking about fixing this, but the problem is that I'm not sure which manual page to alter! While in some ways it is [fconfigure] that makes most sense, it is the sort of sense that requires you to know about their existence in the first place, and that indicates to me that they really should be discussed elsewhere. Definitely not open (you don't open them) and puts seems rather tangential. I suppose they really ought to be documented on the tclsh (and wish) manpage... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Andreas Kupries (andreas_kupries) Date: 2000-11-17 04:20 Message: As for "discuss how/if the can be configured (for example to -encoding binary)." nothing has to be done. The standard channels are channels, hence they can be configured via "fconfigure". to mention them is good idea, despite the fact that it will strike Unix people as odd, we simply "know" of their existence. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=110894&aid=219250&group_id=10894 |
