DESCRIPTION
These commands enable adding to and manipulation of the ADP output buffer. See ns_adp for an overview on ADP pages.
- ns_adp_append string ?string ...?
-
This command appends one or more strings to the ADP output buffer.
For the case of a single argument, it is equivalent to ns_adp_puts
-nonewline string.
- ns_adp_close
-
This command can be used to flush and close the underlying HTTP
connection. ADP execution continues after the connection is closed;
any text appended to the output buffer after the close is simply
discarded when processing is complete.
- ns_adp_dump
-
This command returns the text of the ADP buffer.
- ns_adp_flush
-
This command flushes the contents of the ADP buffer to the current
connection or file channel. It will raise a Tcl exception if the
underlying flush failed, for example, if the HTTP connection is
closed or the channel write failed. Flushed content is returned
in "chunked-encoding" format if the HTTP protocol version is at
least 1.1 (normally the case for all modern browsers). A call to
ns_adp_flush is not normally needed except for specialized
applications as all content is automatically flushed at the end of
a connection or on buffer overflow. (see ns_adp_ctl bufsize
for details on buffer mangement).
- ns_adp_puts ?-nonewline? string
-
This function appends the specified string to the ADP
buffer. Unless the optional -nonewline argument is used, a
newline will be appended to the page after the string. Note that
the argument to ns_adp_puts is a single string unlike ns_adp_append
which takes a variable number of strings to append.
- ns_adp_stream
-
This function begins streaming mode for the ADP. All data currently
in the ADP output buffer is flushed and any subsequent data will
be output directly to the connection. It is equivalent to an
ns_adp_flush followed by an ns_adp_ctl bufsize 0.
- ns_adp_tell
-
This function returns the total number of bytes current in the ADP
buffer. A buffer overflow or direct call to ns_adp_flush
will reset this counter to zero so the result of ns_adp_tell
may not return the total number of bytes eventually sent.
- ns_adp_trunc ?length?
-
This function can be used to truncate output buffer to the requested
size. This can be useful to trim unintended white space or to clear
a result and generate an error message. Note that content already
streamed to the client, if any, cannot be truncated.
- ns_puts ?-nonewline? string
-
This command is a deprecated name for ns_adp_puts.
