WISH(1)WISH(1)NAMEwish - interface to the Tk graphics toolkit
SYNOPSISwish [ 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 further 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

Arguably this has been superseded by sh-tk(1) for scripting Tk applica‐
tions, and tkcmd(1) for development and testing of Tk configurations
for use by Limbo programs.
