NAME
Tk_InitConsoleChannels - Install the console channels as standard chan-
nels
SYNOPSIS
#include <tk.h>
Tk_InitConsoleChannels(interp)
ARGUMENTS
Tcl_Interp *interp (in) Interpreter in which the console chan-
nels are created.
______________________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
Tk_InitConsoleChannels is invoked to create a set of console channels
and install them as the standard channels. All I/O on these channels
will be discarded until Tk_CreateConsoleWindow is called to attach the
console to a text widget.
This function is for use by shell applications based on Tk, like wish,
on platforms which have no standard channels in graphical mode, like
Win32.
The interp argument is the interpreter in which to create and install
the console channels.
NOTE: If this function is used it has to be called before the first
call to Tcl_RegisterChannel, directly, or indirectly through other
channel functions. Because otherwise the standard channels will be al-
ready initialized to the system defaults, which will be nonsensical for
the case Tk_InitConsoleChannels is for.
