TAM (3T) (AT&T UNIX PC only ) TAM(3T)
TAM routines are described below.
winit() The winit(} call sets up the process for window
access. Winit() must be called before any of the
other window calls.
wexit() This should be called in place of exit(}. Wexit(}
is the same as exit(} but also resets the parameters
set by winit() (e.g., tty modes).
iswind() Determines if the terminal is local or remote.
iswind(} is boolean-if true, the screen is bitmapped.
wcreate() Creates a window. Arguments are the row,
column of the top left corner of the window, the
height and width of the window, and flags. The
flags include whether or not the window has a
border and whether or not variable character
widths are allowed. The flags are described in
sysfwindow .h. were ate() returns a window
number, wn, used in subsequent calls to that window.
If wcreate() fails (returns -1), the programmer
should direct an error message to the previous
window.
wdelete() Deletes a specified window ( wn ). If the deleted
window is on top and other windows are below it,
the previously obscured windows become visible.
wselect() Selects the specified window ( wn) as the current or
active one. If the window is covered, it moves to
the top. A window is implicitly selected when it is
created ( wcreate) or modified ( wsetstat).
wgetsel() Returns the wn of the currently selected window.
wgetstat() Returns the information in WSTAT for a specified
window ( wn ). Arguments are wn and the pointer
to WSTAT. The content of WSTAT is:
wsetstat()
struct wstat
{
short begy,begx,height,width;
unsigned short uflags; }
};
typedef struct wstat WSTAT;
The information includes the position and dimensions
of the window, whether or not borders are on
or off, and whether or not variable width characters
are allowed.
Sets the status for a specified window ( wn ) .
Wsetstat() changes the parameters in WSTAT for
a specified window and selects the window implicitly.
