NAME

       Tk_InitConsoleChannels - Install the console channels as standard channels

SYNOPSIS

       #include <tk.h>

       Tk_InitConsoleChannels(interp)

ARGUMENTS

       Tcl_Interp *interp (in)		Interpreter in which the console channels are created.
_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       Tk_InitConsoleChannels  is invoked to create a set of console channels and install them as the standard channels. All I/O on these channels
       will be discarded until Tk_CreateConsoleWindow is called to attach the console to a text widget.

       This function is for use by shell applications based on Tk, like wish, on platforms which have no standard channels in graphical mode, like
       Win32.

       The interp argument is the interpreter in which to create and install the console channels.

       NOTE:  If  this	function  is  used it has to be called before the first call to Tcl_RegisterChannel, directly, or indirectly through other
       channel functions. Because otherwise the standard channels will be already initialized to the system defaults, which  will  be  nonsensical
       for the case Tk_InitConsoleChannels is for.
