.AP Tcl_Interp *interp in
|
|
Tcl interpreter from which file handle is to be obtained.

.AP "const char" *chanID in
|
|
String identifying channel, such as \fBstdin\fR or \fBfile4\fR.
|
|
.AP int write in
|
|
Non-zero means the file will be used for writing, zero means it will
|
|
be used for reading.
|
|
.AP int checkUsage in
|
|
If non-zero, then an error will be generated if the file was not opened
|
|
for the access indicated by \fIwrite\fR.

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fBTcl_GetOpenFile\fR takes as argument a file identifier of the form
|
|
returned by the \fBopen\fR command and
|
|
returns at \fI*filePtr\fR a pointer to the FILE structure for
|
|
the file.
|
|
The \fIwrite\fR argument indicates whether the FILE pointer will
|
|
be used for reading or writing.
|
|
In some cases, such as a channel that connects to a pipeline of
|
|
subprocesses, different FILE pointers will be returned for reading
|
|
and writing.
|
|
\fBTcl_GetOpenFile\fR normally returns \fBTCL_OK\fR.
|
|
If an error occurs in \fBTcl_GetOpenFile\fR (e.g. \fIchanID\fR did not
|
|
make any sense or \fIcheckUsage\fR was set and the file was not opened
|
|
for the access specified by \fIwrite\fR) then \fBTCL_ERROR\fR is returned
|
|
and the interpreter's result will contain an error message.
|
|
In the current implementation \fIcheckUsage\fR is ignored and consistency
|
|
checks are always performed.
