NAME
       tickit_term_await_started_* - wait until the terminal is initialised


SYNOPSIS
       #include <tickit.h>

       void tickit_term_await_started_msec(TickitTerm *tt, longmsec);
       void tickit_term_await_started_tv(TickitTerm *tt, const struct timeval *timeout);

       Link with -ltickit.


DESCRIPTION
       The  tickit_term_await_started_*()  family  of  functions wait until the terminal driver announces it has
       completed setting up the terminal, and it is ready to be used. The timeout specifies the maximum time  to
       wait;  the  function  will  return  after  this  time even if the terminal is not ready yet. One of these
       functions should be called after the relevant input and output methods have  been  set  on  the  terminal
       instance.

       The functions differ in how the timeout is specified. tickit_term_await_started_msec() takes a time as an
       integer in milliseconds, or -1 to wait indefinitely. tickit_term_await_started_tv() takes  a  time  as  a
       struct timeval, or NULL to wait indefinitely.

       Under most terminal drivers it is not strictly required that it be completely prepared before it is used,
       as preparation consists mainly of detecting optionally-supported features the terminal may have.  If  the
       application  starts  outputting  before this is finished, it simply may not make use of some features, or
       not detect or report that some features are present.


RETURN VALUE
       tickit_term_await_started_msec() and tickit_term_await_started_tv() return no value.
