TKCMD(1)TKCMD(1)NAME
tkcmd - enter Tk commands interactively
SYNOPSIS
tkcmd [ -iu ] [ tkarg ]
DESCRIPTION
Tkcmd allows interactive entry of Tk commands; it is useful for testing
out features of Tk prior to incorporating them in a Limbo program. It
accepts two arguments:
-i Force interactive mode. In interactive mode (the default if the
standard input is directed at /dev/cons), a prompt is printed
before every tk command entered.
-u Suppress the automatic tk update command after every entered
command.
When tkcmd is started, a new top level window is created; tkcmd creates
a titlebar and handles all the normal window window manager interac‐
tions. When the window is closed, tkcmd terminates. Each line typed
to tkcmd is passed directly to the function Tk->cmd (see tk(2)) and
executed in the context of the top level window; a Tk ``update'' com‐
mand is then issued. Any return value from the command is printed.
There is one predefined Tk channel, named ``stdout''; anything sent
down this channel will be printed to the standard output.
