NAMEDtCreateTerm — create a DtTerm widget
SYNOPSIS
#include <Dt/Term.h>
Widget DtCreateTerm(
Widget parent,
String name,
ArgList arglist,
Cardinal argcount);
DESCRIPTION
The DtCreateTerm function creates a terminal emulator widget hierarchy.
The parent argument specifies the parent widget ID.
The name argument specifies the name of the created widget.
The arglist argument specifies the argument list.
The argcount argument specifies the number of attribute and value pairs
in the argument list (arglist).
The DtTerm widget provides the core set of functionality needed to emu‐
late an ANSI X3.64-1979- and ISO 6429:1992(E)-style terminal, such as
the DEC VT220. This functionality includes text rendering, scrolling,
margin and tab support, escape sequence parsing and the low-level OS-
specific interface required to allocate and configure a pty or STREAMS
pseudo-terminal device and write the system's utmp device.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, the DtCreateTerm function returns the
DtTerm widget ID.
