globals shouldn't be used for things which aren't global, but argc/argv look pretty global to me -- outside values which belong to the whole program. I see nothing wrong with it.

Hi,
I have a main loop which calls a sub loop, which finally returns to the main loop itself. The main loop runs when a flag is set. Now, I have a signal handler for SIGINT, which resets the flag and thus stops the main loop. Suppose I send SIGINT while the program is in subloop, I get an error... (1 Reply)

H friends,
As we know, a function returns a value and that value is saved somwhere. like
int Sum( int x, int y )
{
return x + y;
}
Total = Sum( 10, 20 );
The value 30 is saved in variable Total.
Now the question is, what int value does the function main return, and where is it... (5 Replies)

Tk_Main(3) Tk Library Procedures Tk_Main(3)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
NAME
Tk_Main - main program for Tk-based applications
SYNOPSIS
#include <tk.h>
Tk_Main(argc, argv, appInitProc)
ARGUMENTS
int argc (in) Number of elements in argv.
char *argv[] (in) Array of strings containing command-line arguments.
Tcl_AppInitProc *appInitProc (in) Address of an application-specific initialization procedure. The value for this argument is
usually Tcl_AppInit.
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
Tk_Main acts as the main program for most Tk-based applications. Starting with Tk 4.0 it is not called main anymore because it is part of
the Tk library and having a function main in a library (particularly a shared library) causes problems on many systems. Having main in the
Tk library would also make it hard to use Tk in C++ programs, since C++ programs must have special C++ main functions.
Normally each application contains a small main function that does nothing but invoke Tk_Main. Tk_Main then does all the work of creating
and running a wish-like application.
When it is has finished its own initialization, but before it processes commands, Tk_Main calls the procedure given by the appInitProc
argument. This procedure provides a "hook" for the application to perform its own initialization, such as defining application-specific
commands. The procedure must have an interface that matches the type Tcl_AppInitProc:
typedef int Tcl_AppInitProc(Tcl_Interp *interp);
AppInitProc is almost always a pointer to Tcl_AppInit; for more details on this procedure, see the documentation for Tcl_AppInit.
