Trf extends the language at +the C-level with so-called ``transformer''-procedures. With the help of +some patches (*) to the core the package is able to intercept all +read/write operations on designated channels, thus giving it the ability +to transform the buffer contents as desired. This allows things like +transparent encryption, compression, charset recoding, etc. Build upon +this framework (and as proof of concept) a collection of tcl-level +commands was implemented. + +WWW: http://www.oche.de/~akupries/soft/trf/ |
