Tcl_GetOpenFile — Return a FILE* for a channel registered in the
given interpreter (Unix only)
#include <tcl.h>
int
Tcl_GetOpenFile(interp, chanID, write, checkUsage,
filePtr)
- Tcl_Interp *interp
(in)
- Tcl interpreter from which file handle is to be obtained.
- const char *chanID (in)
- String identifying channel, such as stdin or file4.
- int write (in)
- Non-zero means the file will be used for writing, zero means it
will be used for reading.
- int checkUsage (in)
- If non-zero, then an error will be generated if the file was
not opened for the access indicated by write.
- ClientData *filePtr (out)
- Points to word in which to store pointer to FILE structure for
the file given by chanID.
Tcl_GetOpenFile takes as argument a file identifier of the
form returned by the open
command and returns at *filePtr a pointer to the FILE
structure for the file. The write 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. Tcl_GetOpenFile normally returns TCL_OK. If an error occurs in
Tcl_GetOpenFile (e.g. chanID did not make any sense
or checkUsage was set and the file was not opened for the
access specified by write) then TCL_ERROR is returned and the
interpreter's result will contain an error message. In the current
implementation checkUsage is ignored and consistency checks
are always performed.
Note that this interface is only supported on the Unix
platform.
