XtConvert, XtDirectConvert - invoke resource converters
Syntax
void XtConvert(w, from_type, from, to_type, to_return)
Widget w;
String from_type;
XrmValuePtr from;
String to_type;
XrmValuePtr to_return;
void XtDirectConvert(converter, args, num_args, from, to_return)
XtConverter converter;
XrmValuePtr args;
Cardinal num_args;
XrmValuePtr from;
XrmValuePtr to_return;
Arguments
args Specifies the argument list that contains the additional arguments needed to perform the conversion (often NULL).
converter Specifies the conversion procedure that is to be called.
from Specifies the value to be converted.
from_type Specifies the source type.
num_args Specifies the number of additional arguments (often zero).
to_type Specifies the destination type.
to_return Returns the converted value.
w Specifies the widget to use for additional arguments (if any are needed).
Description
The function looks up the type converter registered to convert from_type to to_type, computes any additional arguments needed, and then
calls
The function looks in the converter cache to see if this conversion procedure has been called with the specified arguments. If so, it
returns a descriptor for information stored in the cache; otherwise, it calls the converter and enters the result in the cache.
Before calling the specified converter, sets the return value size to zero and the return value address to NULL. To determine if the con-
version was successful, the client should check to_return.address for non-NULL.

I'm writing a command shell, and I want to be able to detect when the user presses an arrow key (otherwise it just prints [[A, [[B, etc.). I know it's relatively easy (although somewhat more time-consuming) to detect keystrokes in noncanonical mode, but I've noticed that the bash shell detects... (4 Replies)
I'm learning off Linux (Ubuntu) right now. I want to move up to Unix, but I don't want to rush like I did when it came to Windows --> to Linux. What is the best Unix OS that fits in pretty well with Ubuntu.
In other words is there kind of an equal Linux with Unix?

I noticed my hostname is <my-full-name>s-macbook.local.
