April 2024 - This site, and Kamaelia are being updated. There is significant work needed, and PRs are welcome.

Kamaelia.Util.Chargen

Simple Character Generator

This component is intended as a simple 'stream of characters' generator.

At the moment, it continually sends the string "Hello world" as fast as it can, indefinitely out of its "outbox" outbox.

Example Usage

::
>>> Pipeline( Chargen(), ConsoleEchoer() ).run()
Hello WorldHello WorldHello WorldHello WorldHello WorldHello WorldHello WorldHel
lo WorldHello WorldHello WorldHello WorldHello WorldHello WorldHello WorldHello
WorldHello WorldHello WorldHello WorldHello WorldHello WorldHello WorldHello Wor
ldHello WorldHello WorldHello WorldHello WorldHello WorldHello WorldHello WorldH
ello WorldHello WorldHello WorldHello WorldHello WorldHello WorldHello WorldHell

... you get the idea!

How does it work?

This component, once activated repeatedly emits the string "Hello World" from its "outbox" outbox. It is emitted as a single string. It does this continuously forever. It is not rate limited in any way, and so emits as fast as it can.

This component does not terminate, and ignores messages arriving at any of its inboxes. It does not output anything from its "signal" outbox.
