coroutine - Coroutine based event and IO handling

       All the commands listed below are synchronous with respect to the  coroutine  invoking  them,  i.e.  this
       coroutine blocks until the result is available. The overall eventloop is not blocked however.

       coroutine::utilafterdelay
              This command delays the coroutine invoking it by delay milliseconds.

       coroutine::utilawaitvarname...
              This  command is an extension form of the coroutine::utilvwait command (see below) which waits on
              a write to one of many named namespace variables.

       coroutine::utilcreatearg...
              This command creates a new coroutine with an automatically assigned name and causes it to run  the
              code specified by the arguments.

       coroutine::utilexit ?status?
              This  command exits the current coroutine, causing it to return status. If no status was specified
              the default 0 is returned.

       coroutine::utilgetschan ?varname?
              This command reads a line from the channel chan and returns it either as  its  result,  or,  if  a
              varname was specified, writes it to the named variable and returns the number of characters read.

       coroutine::utilgets_safetychanlimitvarname
              This command reads a line from the channel chan up to size limit and stores the result in varname.
              Of  limit  is  reached  before  the set first newline, an error is thrown. The command returns the
              number of characters read.

       coroutine::utilglobalvarname...
              This command imports the named global variables of the coroutine into the current scope. From  the
              technical  point  of  view these variables reside in level #1 of the Tcl stack. I.e. these are not
              the regular global variable in to the global namespace, and each coroutine can have their own set,
              independent of all others.

       coroutine::utilputs ?-nonewline? channelstring
              This commands writes the string to the specified channel.   Contrary  to  the  builtin  puts  this
              command waits until the channel is writable before actually writing to it.

       coroutine::utilread-nonewlinechan ?n?
              This  command reads n characters from the channel chan and returns them as its result. If n is not
              specified the command will read the channel until EOF is reached.

       coroutine::utilsocket ?options...? hostport
              This command connects to the specified host and port and returns when that is  done.  Contrary  to
              the  builtin  command  it  performs  a  non-blocking connect in the background. As such, while its
              blocks the calling coroutine, the overall application is not blocked.

       coroutine::utilupdate ?idletasks?
              This command causes the coroutine invoking it to  run  pending  events  or  idle  handlers  before
              proceeding.

       coroutine::utilvwaitvarname
              This  command  causes the coroutine calling it to wait for a write to the named namespace variable
              varname.

       This document, and the package it describes, will undoubtedly contain bugs and  other  problems.   Please
       report  such  in  the  category  coroutine of the TcllibTrackers [http://core.tcl.tk/tcllib/reportlist].
       Please also report any ideas for enhancements you may have for either package and/or documentation.

       When proposing code changes, please provide unifieddiffs, i.e the output of diff-u.

       Note further that attachments are strongly preferred over inlined patches. Attachments  can  be  made  by

       The  coroutine  package  provides  coroutine-aware  implementations of various event- and channel related
       commands. It can be in multiple modes:

       [1]    Call the commands through their ensemble, in code which  is  explicitly  written  for  use  within
              coroutines.

       [2]    Import  the commands into a namespace, either directly, or through namespacepath. This allows the
              use from within code which is not coroutine-aware per se and restricted to specific namespaces.

       A more agressive form of making code coroutine-oblivious than point 2  above  is  available  through  the
       package  coroutine::auto, which intercepts the relevant builtin commands and changes their implementation
       dependending on the context they are run in, i.e.  inside or outside of a coroutine.
