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.
