[description]
[para]
The [package tcl::chan::string] package provides a command creating
channels which live purely in memory. They provide random-access,
i.e. are seekable.
In contrast to the channels created by [package tcl::chan::memchan]
they are read-only however, their content is provided at the time of
construction and immutable afterward.
[para] Packages related to this are [package tcl::chan::memchan] and
[package tcl::chan::variable].
[para] The internal [package TclOO] class implementing the channel
handler is a sub-class of the [package tcl::chan::events] framework.
[section API]
[list_begin definitions]
[call [cmd ::tcl::chan::string] [arg content]]
This command creates a new string channel and returns its handle. The
channel provides random read-only access to the [arg content] string.
