NAME

Tk_InitConsoleChannels - Install the console channels as standard
channels

SYNOPSIS

#include <tk.h>

Tk_InitConsoleChannels(interp)

ARGUMENTS

Tcl_Interp *interp (in) Interpreter in which the console
channels 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
already initialized to the system defaults, which will be nonsensical
for the case Tk_InitConsoleChannels is for.
