NAME

       tickit_term_set_output_fd, tickit_term_get_output_fd - manage terminal output

SYNOPSIS

       #include <tickit.h>

       void tickit_term_set_output_fd(TickitTerm *tt, int fd);
       int tickit_term_get_output_fd(TickitTerm *tt);

       Link with -ltickit.

DESCRIPTION

       tickit_term_set_output_fd()  associates  an  output  file  descriptor  with  the  terminal
       instance. If no output function has been set by tickit_term_set_output_func(3)  then  this
       file  descriptor  will  be used to send bytes to the user's terminal. This file descriptor
       will also be used by tickit_term_refresh_size(3) to query the  size  of  the  terminal  by
       issuing  the TIOCGWINSZ ioctl(2). The value -1 may be set to indicate an absence of a file
       descriptor.

       tickit_term_get_output_fd() returns the currently associated output file descriptor, or -1
       if none has been set.

       After  both  an  input  and  output  method  have  been defined, it is recommended to call
       tickit_term_await_started(3) to wait for the terminal to be set up.

RETURN VALUE

       tickit_term_set_output_fd() returns no value. tickit_term_get_output_fd() returns  a  file
       descriptor or -1.
