DtCreateTerm(3) UNIX System V (1 August 1995) DtCreateTerm(3)
NAME
DtCreateTerm - 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 emulate 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.
