NAME
       tcl::chan::fifo2 - In-memory interconnected fifo channels

SYNOPSIS
       package require Tcl  8.5

       package require TclOO

       package require tcl::chan::events  ?1?

       package require tcl::chan::halfpipe  ?1?

       package require tcl::chan::fifo2	 ?1?

       ::tcl::chan::fifo2

_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION
       The tcl::chan::fifo2 package provides a command creating pairs of chan‐
       nels which live purely in memory and are connected to each other	 in  a
       fifo  manner.  What is written to one half of the pair can be read from
       the other half, in the same order. One particular application for  this
       is  communication  between  threads, with one half of the pair moved to
       the thread to talk to.  This is equivalent to the fifo2	channels  pro‐
       vided  by the package Mmechan, except that this is written in pure Tcl,
       not C. On the other hand, Memchan is usable with Tcl  8.4  and  before,
       whereas this package requires Tcl 8.5 or higher, and TclOO.

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

API
       ::tcl::chan::fifo2
	      This command creates a new connected pair of fifo	 channels  and
	      returns their handles, as a list containing two elements.
