WISH(1) WISH(1)
NAME
wish - interface to the Tk graphics toolkit
SYNOPSIS
wish [ file ... ]
wm/wish [ -k ] [ -f file ]
DESCRIPTION
Wish provides a Tcl command line interface to the Limbo/Tk
graphics toolkit. The input should be in the format of Tcl
or Tk commands (see intro(9)). There are two variants.
Plain wish must be run from the Inferno console instead of
mux(1) or wm(1). It takes input from each file in turn, then
prompts for further commands from the standard input. Its
commands operate on a Tk toplevel covering the whole screen.
Wm/wish runs instead in a shell window under wm(1). It reads
initial input from the optional file, then prompts for fur-
ther commands on its standard input unless the -k option is
given. Its commands operate on the Tk toplevel of a new
window created by Wmlib->titlebar (see wmlib(2)), initially
titled WishPad.
The following special input sequences are recognised:
\n newline
\t tab
\b backspace
\\ backslash
FILES
/dev/pointer
/dev/keyboard
SOURCE
/appl/cmd/wish.b
/appl/wm/wish.b
SEE ALSO
sh-tk(1), tkcmd(1), tk(2), intro(9)
BUGS
Arguably this has been superseded by sh-tk(1) for scripting
Tk applications, and tkcmd(1) for development and testing of
Tk configurations for use by Limbo programs.
