A memory mapping is +established with the 'mmap' command. Following 'mmap' execution, +access to the memory mapped file is done via the standard Tcl +commands: puts/gets/seek/flush/close/fconfigure, only that this +time these commands operate on memory, rather than on a file. + +WWW: http://tcl-mmap.sourceforge.net/ |
