# term\_send(3tcl)

General output to terminals

```

```

## NAME

term::send - General output to terminals

## SYNOPSIS

package require **Tcl 8.5 9**

package require **term::send ?0.2?**

**::term::send::wrch** *chan* *str*

**::term::send::wr** *str*

```

```

## DESCRIPTION

This package provides the most primitive commands for sending characters to a terminal. They are in essence convenient wrappers around the builtin command **puts**.

- **::term::send::wrch** *chan* *str*

  Send the text *str* to the channel specified by the handle *chan*. In contrast to the builtin command **puts** this command does not terminate the string with a line terminator. It also forces an  flush of Tcl internal and OS buffers to ensure that the characters are processed immediately.

- **::term::send::wr** *str*

  This convenience command is like **::term::send::wrch**, except that the destination channel is fixed to *stdout*.
