.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm Window
|
|
implements a window environment on
|
|
.Tn ASCII
|
|
terminals.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A window is a rectangular portion of the physical terminal
|
|
screen associated with a set of processes. Its size and
|
|
position can be changed by the user at any time. Processes
|
|
communicate with their window in the same way they normally
|
|
interact with a terminal\-through their standard input, output,
|
|
and diagnostic file descriptors. The window program handles the
|
|
details of redirecting input and output to and from the
|
|
windows. At any one time, only one window can receive
|
|
input from the keyboard, but all windows can simultaneously send output
|
|
to the display.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When
|
|
.Nm window
|
|
starts up, the commands (see long commands below)
|
|
contained in the file
|
|
.Pa .windowrc
|
|
in the user's home directory are
|
|
executed. If it does not exist, two equal sized windows spanning
|
|
the terminal screen are created by default.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The command line options are
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Fl
|
|
.It Fl t
|
|
Turn on terse mode (see
|
|
.Ic terse
|
|
command below).
|
|
.It Fl f
|
|
Fast. Don't perform any startup action.
|
|
.It Fl d
|
|
Ignore
|
|
.Pa .windowrc
|
|
and create the two default
|
|
windows instead.
|
|
.It Fl e Ar escape-char
|
|
Set the escape character to
|
|
.Ar escape-char .
|
|
.Ar Escape-char
|
|
can be a single character, or in the form
|
|
.Ic ^X
|
|
where
|
|
.Ar X
|
|
is any character, meaning
|
|
.No control\- Ns Ar X .
|
|
.It Fl c Ar command
|
|
Execute the string
|
|
.Ar command
|
|
as a long command (see below)
|
|
before doing anything else.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Windows can overlap and are framed as necessary. Each window
|
|
is named by one of the digits ``1'' to ``9''. This one-character
|
|
identifier, as well as a user definable label string, are displayed
|
|
with the window on the top edge of its frame. A window can be
|
|
designated to be in the
|
|
.Ar foreground ,
|
|
in which case it will always be
|
|
on top of all normal, non-foreground windows, and can be covered
|
|
only by other foreground windows. A window need not be completely
|
|
within the edges of the terminal screen. Thus a large window
|
|
(possibly larger than the screen) may be positioned to show only
|
|
a portion of its full size.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Each window has a cursor and a set of control functions. Most intelligent
|
|
terminal operations such as line and
|
|
character deletion and insertion are supported. Display modes
|
|
such as underlining and reverse video are available if they are
|
|
supported by the terminal. In addition,
|
|
similar to terminals with multiple pages of memory,
|
|
each window has a text buffer which can have more lines than the window
|
|
itself.
|
|
.Ss Process Environment
|
|
With each newly created window, a shell program is spawned with its
|
|
process environment tailored to that window. Its standard input,
|
|
output, and diagnostic file descriptors are bound to one end of either
|
|
a pseudo-terminal (see
|
|
.Xr pty 4 )
|
|
or a
|
|
.Ux
|
|
domain socket (see
|
|
.Xr socketpair 2 ) .
|
|
If a pseudo-terminal is used, then its special
|
|
characters and modes (see
|
|
.Xr stty 1 )
|
|
are copied from the physical
|
|
terminal. A
|
|
.Xr termcap 5
|
|
entry tailored to this window is created
|
|
and passed as environment (see
|
|
.Xr environ 7 )
|
|
variable
|
|
.Ev TERMCAP .
|
|
The termcap entry contains the window's size and
|
|
characteristics as well as information from the physical terminal,
|
|
such as the existence of underline, reverse video, and other display
|
|
modes, and the codes produced by the terminal's function keys,
|
|
if any. In addition, the window size attributes of the pseudo-terminal
|
|
are set to reflect the size of this window, and updated whenever
|
|
it is changed by the user. In particular, the editor
|
|
.Xr vi 1
|
|
uses
|
|
this information to redraw its display.
|
|
.Ss Operation
|
|
During normal execution,
|
|
.Nm window
|
|
can be in one of two states:
|
|
conversation mode and command mode. In conversation mode, the
|
|
terminal's real cursor is placed at the cursor position of a particular
|
|
window--called the current window--and input from the keyboard is sent
|
|
to the process in that window. The current window is always
|
|
on top of all other windows, except those in foreground. In addition,
|
|
it is set apart by highlighting its identifier and label in reverse video.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Typing
|
|
.Nm window Ns 's
|
|
escape character (normally
|
|
.Ic ^P )
|
|
in conversation
|
|
mode switches it into command mode. In command mode, the top line of
|
|
the terminal screen becomes the command prompt window, and
|
|
.Nm window
|
|
interprets input from the keyboard as commands to manipulate windows.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
There are two types of commands: short commands are usually one or two
|
|
key strokes; long commands are strings either typed by the user in the
|
|
command window (see the
|
|
.Dq Ic \&:
|
|
command below), or read from a file (see
|
|
.Ic source
|
|
below).
|
|
.Ss Short Commands
|
|
Below,
|
|
.Ar \&#
|
|
represents one of the digits ``1'' to ``9''
|
|
corresponding to the windows 1 to 9.
|
|
.Ic ^X
|
|
means
|
|
.No control\- Ns Ar X ,
|
|
where
|
|
.Ar X
|
|
is any character. In particular,
|
|
.Ic ^^
|
|
is
|
|
.Li control\-^.
|
|
.Ar Escape
|
|
is the escape key, or
|
|
.Ic ^\&[ .
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Ar #
|
|
Select window
|
|
.Ar #
|
|
as the current window
|
|
and return to conversation mode.
|
|
.It Ic \&% Ns Ar #
|
|
Select window
|
|
.Ar #
|
|
but stay in command mode.
|
|
.It Ic ^^
|
|
Select the previous window and return to conversation
|
|
mode. This is useful for toggling between two windows.
|
|
.It Ic escape
|
|
Return to conversation mode.
|
|
.It Ic ^P
|
|
Return to conversation mode and write
|
|
.Ic ^P
|
|
to the
|
|
current window. Thus, typing two
|
|
.Ic ^P Ns 's
|
|
in conversation
|
|
mode sends one to the current window. If the
|
|
.Nm window
|
|
escape is changed to some other character, that
|
|
character takes the place of
|
|
.Ic ^P
|
|
here.
|
|
.It Ic ?
|
|
List a short summary of commands.
|
|
.It Ic ^L
|
|
Refresh the screen.
|
|
.It Ic q
|
|
Exit
|
|
.Nm window .
|
|
Confirmation is requested.
|
|
.It Ic ^Z
|
|
Suspend
|
|
.Nm window .
|
|
.It Ic w
|
|
Create a new window. The user is prompted for the positions
|
|
of the upper left and lower right corners of the window.
|
|
The cursor is placed on the screen and the keys ``h'', ``j'',
|
|
``k'', and ``l''
|
|
move the cursor left, down, up, and right, respectively.
|
|
The keys ``H'', ``J'', ``K'', and ``L'' move the cursor to the respective
|
|
limits of the screen. Typing a number before the movement keys
|
|
repeats the movement that number of times. Return enters the cursor position
|
|
as the upper left corner of the window. The lower right corner
|
|
is entered in the same manner. During this process,
|
|
the placement of the new window is indicated by a rectangular
|
|
box drawn on the screen, corresponding to where the new window
|
|
will be framed. Typing escape at any point
|
|
cancels this command.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This window becomes the current window,
|
|
and is given the first available ID. The default buffer size
|
|
is used (see
|
|
.Ar default_nline
|
|
command below).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Only fully visible windows can be created this way.
|
|
.It Ic c Ns Ar #
|
|
Close window
|
|
.Ar # .
|
|
The process in the window is sent
|
|
the hangup signal (see
|
|
.Xr kill 1 ) .
|
|
.Xr Csh 1
|
|
should
|
|
handle this signal correctly and cause no problems.
|
|
.It Ic m Ns Ar #
|
|
Move window
|
|
.Ar #
|
|
to another location. A box in the shape
|
|
of the window is drawn on
|
|
the screen to indicate the new position of the window, and the same keys as
|
|
those for the
|
|
.Ic w
|
|
command are used to position the box. The
|
|
window can be moved partially off-screen.
|
|
.It Ic M Ns Ar #
|
|
Move window
|
|
.Ar #
|
|
to its previous position.
|
|
.It Ic s Ns Ar #
|
|
Change the size of window
|
|
.Ar # .
|
|
The user is prompted
|
|
to enter the new lower right corner of the window. A box
|
|
is drawn to indicate the new window size. The same
|
|
keys used in
|
|
.Ic w
|
|
and
|
|
.Ic m
|
|
are used to enter the position.
|
|
.It Ic S Ns Ar #
|
|
Change window
|
|
.Ar #
|
|
to its previous size.
|
|
.It Ic ^Y
|
|
Scroll the current window up by one line.
|
|
.It Ic ^E
|
|
Scroll the current window down by one line.
|
|
.It Ic ^U
|
|
Scroll the current window up by half the window size.
|
|
.It Ic ^D
|
|
Scroll the current window down by half the window size.
|
|
.It Ic ^B
|
|
Scroll the current window up by the full window size.
|
|
.It Ic ^F
|
|
Scroll the current window down by the full window size.
|
|
.It Ic h
|
|
Move the cursor of the current window left by one column.
|
|
.It Ic j
|
|
Move the cursor of the current window down by one line.
|
|
.It Ic k
|
|
Move the cursor of the current window up by one line.
|
|
.It Ic l
|
|
Move the cursor of the current window right by one column.
|
|
.It Ic y
|
|
Yank. The user is prompted to enter two points within the current
|
|
window. Then the content of the current window between those two points
|
|
is saved in the yank buffer.
|
|
.It Ic p
|
|
Put. The content of the yank buffer is written to the current
|
|
window as input.
|
|
.It Ic ^S
|
|
Stop output in the current window.
|
|
.It Ic ^Q
|
|
Start output in the current window.
|
|
.It Ic :
|
|
Enter a line to be executed as long commands.
|
|
Normal line
|
|
editing characters (erase character, erase word, erase line)
|
|
are supported.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Ss Long Commands
|
|
Long commands are a sequence of statements
|
|
parsed much like a programming language, with a syntax
|
|
similar to that of C. Numeric and string expressions and variables
|
|
are supported, as well as conditional statements.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
There are two data types: string and number. A string is a sequence
|
|
of letters or digits beginning with a letter. ``_'' and ``.'' are
|
|
considered letters. Alternately, non-alphanumeric characters can
|
|
be included in strings by quoting them in ``"'' or escaping them
|
|
with ``\\''. In addition, the ``\\'' sequences of C are supported,
|
|
both inside and outside quotes (e.g., ``\\n'' is a new line,
|
|
``\\r'' a carriage return). For example, these are legal strings:
|
|
abcde01234, "&#$^*&#", ab"$#"cd, ab\\$\\#cd, "/usr/ucb/window".
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A number is an integer value in one of three forms:
|
|
a decimal number, an octal number preceded by ``0'',
|
|
or a hexadecimal number preceded by ``0x'' or ``0X''. The natural
|
|
machine integer size is used (i.e., the signed integer type
|
|
of the C compiler). As in C, a non-zero number represents
|
|
a boolean true.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The character ``#'' begins a comment which terminates at the
|
|
end of the line.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A statement is either a conditional or an expression. Expression
|
|
statements are terminated with a new line or ``;''. To continue
|
|
an expression on the next line, terminate the first line with ``\\''.
|
|
.Ss Conditional Statement
|
|
.Nm Window
|
|
has a single control structure:
|
|
the fully bracketed if statement in the form
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent -compact
|
|
if <expr> then
|
|
\t<statement>
|
|
\t...
|
|
elsif <expr> then
|
|
\t<statement>
|
|
\t...
|
|
else
|
|
\t<statement>
|
|
\t...
|
|
endif
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Ic else
|
|
and
|
|
.Ic elsif
|
|
parts are optional, and the latter can
|
|
be repeated any number of times.
|
|
<Expr>
|
|
must be numeric.
|
|
.Ss Expressions
|
|
Expressions in
|
|
.Nm window
|
|
are similar to those in the
|
|
C language, with most C operators supported on numeric
|
|
operands. In addition, some are overloaded to operate on strings.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When an expression is used as a statement, its value is discarded
|
|
after evaluation. Therefore, only expressions with side
|
|
effects (assignments and function calls) are useful as statements.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Single valued (no arrays) variables are supported, of both
|
|
numeric and string values. Some variables are predefined. They
|
|
are listed below.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The operators in order of increasing precedence:
|
|

|
|
Assignment. The variable of name
|
|
.Aq Va expr1 ,
|
|
which must be string valued,

|
|
otherwise. Only
|
|
one of
|
|
.Aq Va expr2
|
|
and

|
|
is evaluated.

|
|
.Xc
|
|
Comparison (equal and not equal, respectively). The boolean
|
|
result (either 1 or 0) of the comparison is returned. The
|
|
operands can be numeric or string valued. One string operand
|
|
forces the other to be converted to a string in necessary.

The first three are unary minus, bitwise complement and logical complement
|
|
on numbers only. The operator, ``$'', takes
|
|
.Aq Va expr
|
|
and returns
|
|
the value of the variable of that name. If
|
|
.Aq Va expr
|
|
is numeric
|
|
with value
|
|
.Ar n
|
|
and it appears within an alias macro (see below),
|
|
then it refers to the nth argument of the alias invocation. ``$?''
|
|
tests for the existence of the variable
|
|
.Aq Va expr ,
|
|
and returns 1
|
|
if it exists or 0 otherwise.
|
|
.It Xo
|
|
.Ao Va expr Ac Ns Pq Aq Ar arglist
|
|
.Xc
|
|
Function call.
|
|
.Aq Va Expr
|
|
must be a string that is the unique
|
|
prefix of the name of a builtin
|
|
.Nm window
|
|
function
|
|
or the full name of a user defined alias macro. In the case of a builtin
|
|
function,
|
|
.Aq Ar arglist
|
|
can be in one of two forms:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
<expr1>, <expr2>, ...
|
|
argname1 = <expr1>, argname2 = <expr2>, ...
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The two forms can in fact be intermixed, but the result is
|
|
unpredictable. Most arguments can be omitted; default values will
|
|
be supplied for them. The
|
|
.Ar argnames
|
|
can be unique prefixes
|
|
of the argument names. The commas separating
|
|
arguments are used only to disambiguate, and can usually be omitted.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Only the first argument form is valid for user defined aliases. Aliases
|
|
are defined using the
|
|
.Ic alias
|
|
builtin function (see below). Arguments
|
|
are accessed via a variant of the variable mechanism (see ``$'' operator
|
|
above).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Most functions return value, but some are used for side effect
|
|
only and so must be used as statements. When a function or an alias is used
|
|
as a statement, the parentheses surrounding
|
|
the argument list may be omitted. Aliases return no value.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Ss Builtin Functions
|
|
The arguments are listed by name in their natural
|
|
order. Optional arguments are in square brackets
|
|
.Sq Op .
|
|
Arguments
|
|
that have no names are in angle brackets
|
|
.Sq <> .
|
|
An argument meant to be a boolean flag (often named
|
|
.Ar flag )
|
|
can be one of
|
|
.Ar on ,
|
|
.Ar off ,
|
|
.Ar yes ,
|
|
.Ar no ,
|
|
.Ar true ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Ar false ,
|
|
with
|
|
obvious meanings, or it can be a numeric expression,
|
|
in which case a non-zero value is true.

For example,
|
|
.Li cursor($m_rev$m_blk)
|
|
sets the window cursors to blinking
|
|
reverse video.
|

.Ar off ,
|
|
.Ar yes ,
|
|
.Ar no ,
|
|
.Ar true ,

.Ar nrow ,
|
|
.Ar ncol .

|
If
|
|
.Ar nline
|
|
is specified,
|
|
then that many lines are allocated for the text buffer. Otherwise,
|
|
the default buffer size is used. Default values for
|
|
.Ar row ,
|
|
.Ar column ,
|
|
.Ar nrow ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Ar ncol
|

are, respectively,
|
|
the upper, left-most, lower, or right-most extremes of the
|
|
screen.
|

|
is the label string.
|
|
.Ar Frame ,
|

and
|
|
.Ar mapnl
|
|
are flag values
|
|
interpreted in the same way as the argument to
|
|
.Ar foreground
|
|
(see above);
|
|
they mean, respectively, put a frame around this window (default true),
|
|
allocate pseudo-terminal for this window rather than socketpair (default
|
|
true), and map new line characters in this window to carriage return
|
|
and line feed (default true if socketpair is used, false otherwise).
|
|
Normally, a window is automatically closed when its process
|
|
exits. Setting
|
|
.Ar keepopen
|
|
to true (default false) prevents this
|
|
action. When
|
|
.Ar smooth
|
|
is true, the screen is updated more frequently
|
|
(for this window) to produce a more terminal-like behavior.
|
|
The default value of
|
|
.Ar smooth
|
|
is set by the
|
|
.Ar default_smooth
|
|
command (see above).
|
|
.Ar Shell
|
|
is a list of strings that will be used as the shell
|
|
program to place in the window (default is the program specified
|
|
by
|
|
.Ar default_shell ,
|
|
see above). The created window's identifier
|
|
is returned as a number.
|
|
.It Xo
