<appendix id="DKSUG.cmds.div.1">
<title>dtksh Commands<indexterm><primary>commands</primary></indexterm></title>
<para>This appendix contains a list of the commands supported by <command>dtksh</command>. Many of these commands are almost identical to their Motif,
Xt Intrinsics, or Xlib counterparts. Commands that return a value must have
the return variable as an environment variable that is the first parameter
in the call. Some commands have more differences.</para>
<para>The following subsections give a synopsis of each of the <command>dtksh</command> commands. In general, parameter ordering and types are the same
as for corresponding C procedures; exceptions are noted. For more detail
on the functionality and parameters of a command, see the standard documentation
for the corresponding Xlib, Xt Intrinsics, or Motif procedure.</para>
<para>In the command definitions, parameters named <emphasis>var</emphasis>, <emphasis>var2</emphasis>, <emphasis>var3</emphasis>, and so on, indicate that the
shell script should supply the name of an environment variable into which
some value will be returned. The word <symbol role="Variable">variable</symbol>
indicates an environment variable that accepts a return value.</para>
<para>Commands that return a Boolean value (which can be used directly as
part of an <emphasis>if</emphasis> statement), are noted as such.</para>
<para>Parameters enclosed within <filename>[]</filename> are optional.</para>

<para>All the Xt Intrinsics commands used to create a new widget require that
you specify a widget class for the new widget. The widget (or gadget) class
name is the standard class name provided by Motif. For example, the class
name for a Motif push button widget is <command>XmPushButton</command>, while
the class name for the Motif label gadget is <command>XmLabelGadget</command>.

<para>where <emphasis>eventMask</emphasis> is of the form <emphasis>mask|mask|mask</emphasis> and the <symbol role="Variable">mask</symbol> components are
any of the standard set of X event masks, and <emphasis>nonMaskableFlag</emphasis>

<primary>XtAddInput</primary></indexterm></command></para>
<para>Registers the indicated file descriptor with the X Toolkit as an alternate
input source. It is the responsibility of the shell script's input handler
to unregister the input source when it is no longer needed and to close the
file descriptor.</para>
<para>If the <filename>-r</filename> option is specified (<emphasis>raw</emphasis>
mode), then <command>dtksh</command> does not automatically read any of the
data available from the input source; it will be up to the specified kshell
command to read all data. If the <filename>-r</filename> option is not specified,
then the command specified in <emphasis>ksh-command</emphasis> is invoked
only when a full line is read (that is, a line terminated by either an unescaped
newline character or the end of the file) or when the end of the file is
reached. The raw mode is useful for handlers that expect to process nontextual
data, or for handlers that do not want <command>dtksh</command> automatically
reading in a line of data. When the end of file is detected, it is the shell
script's input handler's responsibility to use <command>XtRemoveInput</command> to remove the input source and to close the file descriptor,
if necessary.</para>
<para>In all cases, several environment variables are set up, which can be
used by the handler. These include:</para>

return a value that indicates whether the work procedure wants to be called

If the <command>dtksh</command> function returns 0, then the work procedure
remains registered; any other value causes the work procedure to be automatically
unregistered.</para>

<title>Built-in Desktop Services Message Set Commands<indexterm><primary>commands</primary><secondary>message set</secondary></indexterm><indexterm>
<primary>message set commands</primary></indexterm></title>
<para>The following set of commands implements the minimum subset of the
Desktop Services Message Set required to allow a shell script to participate
in the Desktop Services protocol. Many of the ToolTalk commands differ slightly
from their associated C programming call. For ToolTalk commands that typically
return a pointer, a C application validates that pointer by calling the
<filename>tt_ptr_error</filename>() function; this function call returns a
<filename>Tt_status</filename> value, which indicates whether the pointer was valid,
and if not, why it was not valid. Because of the kshell code's design, the
string pointer that the shell script sees is not typically the same as the
string pointer returned by the underlying C code. Typically, during shell
programming, this is not a problem because the important information is the
string value, not the string pointer.</para>
<para>To allow shell scripts to get the status of a pointer, any of the commands
that normally return a pointer also return the associated <filename>Tt_status</filename> value for the pointer automatically. This saves the shell script
from needing to make an additional call to check the validity of the original
pointer. In the case of a pointer error occurring, <command>dtksh</command>
returns an empty string for the pointer value and sets the <filename>Tt_status</filename> code accordingly.</para>
<para>The <filename>Tt_status</filename> value is returned in the <symbol role="Variable">status</symbol> argument. The <filename>Tt_status</filename>
value is a string representing the error and can assume any of the following
values:</para>

<para>Any procIDs returned by <filename>ttdt_open</filename> contain embedded
spaces. To prevent kshell from interpreting the procID as a multiple parameter

any references to the environment variable containing the procID within double
quotes, as shown:</para>

<para>For the ToolTalk messages to be received and processed, the shell script

the handler <emphasis>must</emphasis> be registered as a <emphasis>raw</emphasis>
input handler. The input handler that the shell script registers should
invoke <filename>tttk_Xt_input_handler</filename> to get the message received
and processed. The following code block demonstrates how this is done:</para>
<programlisting>ttdt_open PROC_ID STATUS FID &ldquo;Tool&rdquo; &ldquo;HP&rdquo; &ldquo;1.0&rdquo; True XtAddInput

<para>Note that the <filename>\&rdquo;</filename> (backslash and double quotation
mark) characters before and after the reference to the procID environment
variable are necessary, because the value contained in the procID environment
variable contains embedded spaces and could be misinterpreted unless escaped

a <symbol role="Variable">Stopped</symbol> notice, if the <emphasis>sendStopped</emphasis> argument is set to <symbol role="Variable">true</symbol>.</para>
<para>Because the procID returned by the call to <filename>ttdt_open</filename>
contains embedded spaces, it is necessary to enclose any references to the
procID environment variable within double quotation marks:</para>
<programlisting>ttdt_close STATUS &ldquo;$PROC_ID&rdquo; &ldquo;$NEW_PROC_ID&rdquo; False
</programlisting>
<para><filename>ttdt_session_join</filename> <symbol role="Variable">variable</symbol> <symbol role="Variable">status</symbol> s <symbol role="Variable">essId shellWidgetHandle join</symbol></para>
<para>Joins the session indicated by the <emphasis>sessId</emphasis> argument
as a good desktop citizen, by registering patterns and default callbacks
for many standard desktop message interfaces. If the <emphasis>sessId</emphasis>
argument does not specify a value (that is, it is an empty string), then
the default session is joined. If the <emphasis>shellWidgetHandle</emphasis>
argument specifies a widget handle (that is, it is not an empty string),
then it should refer to a <command>mappedWhenManaged</command> <command>applicationShellWidget</command>. The <emphasis>join</emphasis> argument
is a Boolean and should be set to true or false. This command returns an
opaque <symbol role="Variable">pattern</symbol> handle in the <symbol role="Variable">variable</symbol> argument; when no longer needed, this handle can be destroyed
using the <filename>ttdt_session_quit</filename> command.</para>
<para><filename>ttdt_session_quit</filename> <symbol role="Variable">status</symbol> <symbol role="Variable">sessId sessPatterns quit</symbol></para>
<para>Destroys the message patterns specified by the <emphasis>sessPatterns</emphasis> argument and, if the <symbol role="Variable">quit</symbol> argument
is set to <emphasis>true</emphasis>, quits the session indicated by the <emphasis>sessId</emphasis> argument or quits the default session if <emphasis>sessId</emphasis> is empty.</para>
<para><filename>ttdt_file_join</filename> <symbol role="Variable">variable</symbol> <symbol role="Variable">status</symbol> <symbol role="Variable">pathName scope join ksh-command</symbol></para>
<para>Registers interest in the deleted, modified, reverted, moved, and saved
messages for the indicated file in the indicated scope. An opaque pattern
handle is returned in the <symbol role="Variable">variable</symbol> argument.
When no longer interested in monitoring messages for the indicated file,
this should be destroyed by calling <filename>ttdt_file_quit</filename>.
</para>
<para>The requested <emphasis>ksh-command</emphasis> is evaluated anytime
one of the messages is received for the indicated file. When this kshell
command is evaluated, the following environment variables are defined and
provide additional information about the received message:</para>

<para>When the callback completes, it <emphasis>must</emphasis> indicate whether
the passed-in message was &ldquo;consumed&rdquo; (replied-to, failed, or
rejected). If the callback returns the message (as passed-in in the
<filename>DT_TT_MSG</filename> environment variable), then it is assumed that the message
was not consumed. If the message was consumed, then the callback should return
0, or one of the values returned by the <filename>tt_error_pointer</filename>
command. The callback can return its value in the following fashion:</para>
<programlisting>return $DT_TT_MSG (or) return 0</programlisting>
<para><filename>ttdt_file_quit</filename> <symbol role="Variable">status</symbol> <emphasis>patterns quit</emphasis></para>
<para>Destroys the message patterns specified by the <emphasis>patterns</emphasis> argument and unregisters interest in the path name that was passed
to the <emphasis>ttdt_file_join</emphasis> command, if <symbol role="Variable">quit</symbol> is set to <emphasis>true</emphasis>. The <emphasis>patterns</emphasis> argument should be the value that was returned by the call to
the <filename>ttdt_file_join</filename> command.</para>
<para><filename>ttdt_file_event</filename> <emphasis>status op patterns send</emphasis></para>
<para>Creates, and optionally sends, a ToolTalk notice announcing an event
pertaining to a file. The file is indicated by the path name that was passed
to the <filename>ttdt_file_join</filename> command when <emphasis>patterns</emphasis> was created. The <symbol role="Variable">op</symbol> argument
indicates what should be announced for the indicated file, and it can be
set to <filename>TTDT_MODIFIED</filename>, <filename>TTDT_SAVED</filename>,
or <filename>TTDT_REVERTED</filename>. If <symbol role="Variable">op</symbol>
is set to <filename>TTDT_MODIFIED</filename>, then this command registers
to handle <symbol role="Message">Get_Modified</symbol>, <symbol role="Message">
Save</symbol> and <symbol role="Message">Revert</symbol> messages in the scope
specified when the <emphasis>patterns</emphasis> were created. If <symbol role="Variable">op</symbol> is set to <filename>TTDT_SAVED</filename> or
<filename>TTDT_REVERTED</filename>, this command unregisters from handling <symbol role="Message">Get_Modified</symbol>, <emphasis>Save,</emphasis> and <symbol role="Message">Revert</symbol> messages for this file. If the <emphasis>send</emphasis> argument is set to <emphasis>true</emphasis>, then the indicated
message is sent.</para>
<para><filename>ttdt_Get_Modified</filename> <emphasis>pathName</emphasis> <emphasis>scope</emphasis> <emphasis>timeout</emphasis></para>
<para>Sends a <symbol role="Message">Get_Modified</symbol> request in the
indicated scope and waits for a reply or for the specified timeout (in milliseconds)
to elapse. A <symbol role="Message">Get_Modified</symbol> request asks other
ToolTalk clients if they have any changes pending on <symbol role="Variable">pathname</symbol> that they intend to make persistent. Returns a value which
can be used in a conditional statement. A value of <emphasis>true</emphasis>
is returned if an affirmative reply is received within the specified timeout;
otherwise, false is returned.</para>
<para><filename>ttdt_Save</filename> <symbol role="Variable">status</symbol> <emphasis>pathName</emphasis> <emphasis>scope</emphasis> <emphasis>timeout</emphasis></para>
<para>Sends a <symbol role="Message">Save</symbol> request in the indicated <emphasis>scope</emphasis> and waits for a reply or for the indicated <emphasis>timeout</emphasis> (in milliseconds) to elapse. A <symbol role="Message">Save</symbol>
request asks the handling ToolTalk client to save any changes pending for
the file specified in the <emphasis>pathName</emphasis> argument. A status
of <filename>TT_OK</filename> is returned if an affirmative reply is received
before the timeout elapses. Otherwise, one of the standard <filename>Tt_status</filename> error values is returned.</para>
<para><filename>ttdt_Revert</filename> <symbol role="Variable">status</symbol> <emphasis>pathName</emphasis> <emphasis>scope</emphasis> <emphasis>timeout</emphasis></para>
<para>Sends a <symbol role="Message">Revert</symbol> request in the indicated <emphasis>scope</emphasis> and waits for a reply or for the indicated <emphasis>timeout</emphasis> (in milliseconds) to elapse. A <emphasis>Revert</emphasis> request
asks the handling ToolTalk client to discard any changes pending for the
file specified in the <emphasis>pathName</emphasis> argument. A status of
<filename>TT_OK</filename> is returned if an affirmative reply is received before the
timeout elapses. Otherwise, one of the standard <structname role="typedef">Tt_status</structname> error values is returned.</para>
<para>The following commands are typically used by the callback registered
with the <filename>ttdt_file_join</filename> command. They serve as the
mechanism for consuming and destroying a message. A message is <emphasis>consumed</emphasis> by either rejecting, failing, or replying to it. <emphasis>tt_error_pointer</emphasis> can be used by the callback to obtain a return
pointer for indicating an error condition.</para>
<para><filename>tt_error_pointer</filename> <symbol role="Variable">variable</symbol> <emphasis>ttStatus</emphasis></para>
<para>Returns a &ldquo;magic value,&rdquo; which is used by ToolTalk to
represent an invalid pointer. The magic value returned depends upon the <emphasis>ttStatus</emphasis> value passed- in. Any of the valid <filename>Tt_status</filename> values may be specified.</para>
<para><filename>tttk_message_destroy</filename> <emphasis>status msg</emphasis></para>
<para>Destroys any patterns that may have been stored on the message indicated
by the <emphasis>msg</emphasis> argument, and then destroys the message.
</para>
<para><filename>tttk_message_reject</filename> <symbol role="Variable">status</symbol> <emphasis>msg msgStatus msgStatusString destroy</emphasis></para>
<para>Sets the status and the status string for the indicated request message,
and then rejects the message. It then destroys the passed-in message, if
the <symbol role="Variable">destroy</symbol> argument is set to <command>True</command>. This command is one way in which the callback specified with
the <filename>ttdt_file_join</filename> command can consume a message. It
is typically safe to destroy the message, using <filename>tttk_message_destroy</filename>, after rejecting the message.</para>
<para><filename>tttk_message_fail</filename> <symbol role="Variable">status</symbol> <emphasis>msg msgStatus msgStatusString destroy</emphasis></para>
<para>Sets the status and the status string for the indicated request message,
and then fails the message. It then destroys the passed-in message, if the <symbol role="Variable">destroy</symbol> argument is set to <command>True</command>.
This command is one way in which the callback specified with the
<filename>ttdt_file_join</filename> command can consume a message. It is typically
safe to destroy the message, using <filename>tttk_message_destroy</filename>,
after failing the message.</para>
<para><filename>tt_message_reply</filename> <symbol role="Variable">status</symbol> <emphasis>msg</emphasis></para>
<para>Informs the ToolTalk service that the shell script has handled the message
and filled in all return values. The ToolTalk service then sends the reply
back to the sending process, filling in the state as <filename>TT_HANDLED</filename>. After replying to a message, it is typically safe to destroy
the message, using the <filename>tttk_message_destroy</filename> command.
