Usage

#include <tcl.h>

Tcl_MainLoop()

    


    

Overview

Tcl_MainLoop is a procedure that loops repeatedly calling Tcl_DoOneEvent. It returns only when there is no work to be done any more (i.e. no main windows exist anymore). Any application that consists entirely of callbacks invoked via Tcl_DoOneEvent only has to call Tcl_MainLoop after initialization. The notifier will take care that the application exits automatically when there is nothing to be done any more.

Keywords
