This proposal has no content. It exists only to provide a document on which testing of and practice using of the TIP editing interfaces can take place.
This document serves a purpose similar to the Graffiti page (http://purl.org/thecliff/tcl/wiki/34.html) at the Tcl'ers Wiki [1].
It will also be useful for testing the web editing interface proposed in TIP #13.
Here's a simple edit test.
Test of italic, bold and mixed 'bold and italic' text.
foobar
spong wibble
depth test
foo bar spong
some more test stuff
This TIP proposes a new command ftruncate for truncating open files.
In Tcl, there is currently no way to truncate a file while it is open even though all modern operating systems support such an operation. The current workaround is to close the file and reopen it. In cases where the file must be held open this workaround cannot be used.
ftruncate channelId ?length?
For example:
# Open the file for reading and writing...
set file [open "test.txt" {RDWR}]
# Write some data to the file...
puts $file "test data"
# Some time later...
...
ftruncate $file
...
# We are done, close the file...
close $file
A reference implementation does not yet exist.
