application invokes \fBgets\fR or \fBread\fR on a blocking channel when
there is no input data available, the process will block; until the input
data arrives, it will not be able to service other events, so it will
-appear to the user to ``freeze up''. With \fBfileevent\fR, the process can
+appear to the user to
+.QW "freeze up" .
+With \fBfileevent\fR, the process can
tell when data is present and only invoke \fBgets\fR or \fBread\fR when
-they won't block.

-.VS
The \fIchannelId\fR argument to \fBfileevent\fR refers to an open
channel such as a Tcl standard channel (\fBstdin\fR, \fBstdout\fR,
or \fBstderr\fR), the return value from an invocation of \fBopen\fR
or \fBsocket\fR, or the result of a channel creation command provided
by a Tcl extension.
-.VE
.PP
If the \fIscript\fR argument is specified, then \fBfileevent\fR
creates a new event handler: \fIscript\fR will be evaluated
can be written to the underlying file or device without blocking,
or if an error condition is present on the underlying file or device.
.PP
-Event-driven I/O works best for channels that have been
-placed into nonblocking mode with the \fBfconfigure\fR command.
-In blocking mode, a \fBputs\fR command may block if you give it
-more data than the underlying file or device can accept, and a
-\fBgets\fR or \fBread\fR command will block if you attempt to read
-more data than is ready; no events will be processed while the
-commands block.
+Event-driven I/O works best for channels that have been placed into
+nonblocking mode with the \fBfconfigure\fR command. In blocking mode,
+a \fBputs\fR command may block if you give it more data than the
+underlying file or device can accept, and a \fBgets\fR or \fBread\fR
+command will block if you attempt to read more data than is ready; a
+readable underlying file or device may not even guarantee that a
+blocking [read 1] will succeed (counter-examples being multi-byte
+encodings, compression or encryption transforms ). In all such cases,
+no events will be processed while the commands block.
+.PP
In nonblocking mode \fBputs\fR, \fBread\fR, and \fBgets\fR never block.
See the documentation for the individual commands for information
on how they handle blocking and nonblocking channels.
.PP
+Testing for the end of file condition should be done after any attempts
+read the channel data. The eof flag is set once an attempt to read the
+end of data has occurred and testing before this read will require an
+additional event to be fired.
+.PP
The script for a file event is executed at global level (outside the
context of any Tcl procedure) in the interpreter in which the
\fBfileevent\fR command was invoked.
If an error occurs while executing the script then the
-\fBbgerror\fR mechanism is used to report the error.
+command registered with \fBinterp bgerror\fR is used to report the error.
In addition, the file event handler is deleted if it ever returns
an error; this is done in order to prevent infinite loops due to
buggy handlers.

.SH EXAMPLE
.PP
+In this setup \fBGetData\fR will be called with the channel as an
+argument whenever $chan becomes readable. The \fBread\fR call will
+read whatever binary data is currently available without blocking.
+Here the channel has the fileevent removed when an end of file
+occurs to avoid being continually called (see above). Alternatively
+the channel may be closed on this condition.
+.PP
