channel.pattern.catalog()
Function
Creates an iterator for the user created channel patterns.
Usage
for name in channel.pattern.catalog() do
…
end
Remarks
Accessing the catalog for user channel patterns allows the user to print or delete all
patterns in volatile memory. The entries will be enumerated in no particular order. This
will only list user created channel patterns. It does not list channels which are created
at power up.
