9WIN(1) 9WIN(1)
NAME
9win - create a Plan 9 window within Inferno
SYNOPSIS
9win [ -s ] [ -x width ] [ -y height ] [ cmd [ arg ... ] ]
DESCRIPTION
9win creates a window for a graphical Plan 9 command
(default rio) to run in. If provided, width and height give
a desired width and height for the new window. Cmd gives
the command to run, and arg its arguments.
The -s option tells 9win to run in server mode. Used by
9cpu(1), it exports on its standard input a namespace suit-
able for a graphical Plan 9 program to run within. With this
option, no command may be given.

BUGS
9win does not export a full rio environment, so Plan 9 pro-
grams that wish to create new windows will not work cor-
rectly (unless running inside a rio started by 9win)
