Is there a limit to the number of characters that gets can read at a time?
in principle, it is limited only by the max length of Tcl string (~2GB in Tcl 8.6), that's why when using it with sockets, it is recommended to combine gets with [chan pending] to protect against malicious or misbehaving peer, see https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/page/chan+pending
Thank you for the tip. This is for a local script sending another some data via std channels. I was afraid that they might have a problem with data sizes around 5K :-)
