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.
