Memory channels 2.2 random(3tcl)

random number generator. This generator is used to create a random sequence of bytes when reading
from the channel. It is not possible to seek the channel.

Options
Memory channels created by random provide one additional option to set or query.
-delay?milliseconds?
A random channel is always writable and readable. This means that all fileevent-handlers will fire
continuously. To avoid starvation of other event sources the events raised by this channel type
have a configurable delay. This option is set in milliseconds and defaults to 5.
