[description]
The package [package Trf] provides a number of commands which take
data and transform them in various ways.
[section BACKGROUND]
The implementation of Trf began as proof-of-concept of the validity
and usefulness of the "stacked channel" patches to the core. These
patches allow the writing of extensions to the generic I/O system of
the core which are able to intercept all read/write operations on
designated channels, thus giving it the ability to transform the data
flowing through these channels as desired.
[para]
This allows things like transparent encryption, compression, charset
recoding, etc.
[para]
Since version 8.2 of the tcl core the aforementioned patches are part
of the tcl core itself, changing the status of [package trf] from
"extension requiring core patches" to "normal extension".
[para]
Other packages built upon either the stackd channels directly, or Trf
are:
[list_begin enum]
[enum]
[package TrfCrypt], by myself, contains various encryption systems
[enum]
[package TLS], an SSL/TLS implementation by Matt Newman.
[enum]
[package {Tcl MIME}] by Marshall Rose.
[list_end]
[section API]
The commands provide by [package trf] can be placed into the three
categories listed below. Note that all commands are added to the
global namespace.
[list_begin definitions]
[lst_item [term Encodings]]
The encoding commands either take some data and return the same data
in encoded form, or take encoded data and return a decoded result.
[list_begin enum]
[enum]
[cmd oct]
[enum]
[cmd hex]
[enum]
[cmd oct]
[enum]
[cmd base64]
[enum]
[cmd uuencode]
[enum]
[cmd ascii85]
[enum]
[cmd otp_words]
[enum]
[cmd quoted-printable]
[list_end]
[nl]
[lst_item [term {Message Digests}]]
The second category are message digests in general, simple ones like
[cmd crc], and cryptographically strong algorithms like [cmd md5].
[list_begin enum]
[enum]
[cmd crc-zlib]
[enum]
[cmd crc]
[enum]
[cmd adler]
[enum]
[cmd md2]
[enum]
[cmd md5]
[enum]
[cmd md5_otp]
[enum]
[cmd sha]
[enum]
[cmd sha1]
[enum]
[cmd sha1_otp]
[enum]
[cmd haval]
[enum]
[cmd ripemd-160]
[enum]
[cmd ripemd-128]
[list_end]
[nl]
[lst_item Miscellaneous]
At last a number of commands not readily placed into categories
providing password crypting, general transformations, data
compression, error correction and others.
[list_begin enum]
[enum]
[cmd crypt]
[enum]
[cmd md5crypt]
[enum]
[cmd transform]
