coroutine::auto(3tcl)

NAME
coroutine::auto - Automatic event and IO coroutine awareness

SYNOPSIS
package require Tcl 8.6 9

package require coroutine::auto 1.3

package require coroutine 1.4

DESCRIPTION
The coroutine::auto package provides no commands or other directly visible functionality. Built on top of the package coroutine, it intercepts various builtin commands of the Tcl core to make any code using them coroutine-oblivious, i.e. able to run inside and outside of a coroutine without changes.

The commands so affected by this package are

after

exit

gets

global

puts

read

socket

update

vwait
