The ttttkkkkwwwwaaaaiiiitttt command waits for one of several things to
happen, then it returns without taking any other actions.
The return value is always an empty string. If the first
argument is vvvvaaaarrrriiiiaaaabbbblllleeee (or any abbreviation of it) then the
second argument is the name of a global variable and the
command waits for that variable to be modified. If the
first argument is vvvviiiissssiiiibbbbiiiilllliiiittttyyyy (or any abbreviation of it) |
then the second argument is the name of a window and the |
ttttkkkkwwwwaaaaiiiitttt command waits for a change in its visibility state |
(as indicated by the arrival of a VisibilityNotify event). |
This form is typically used to wait for a newly-created |
window to appear on the screen before taking some action.
If the first argument is wwwwiiiinnnnddddoooowwww (or any abbreviation of it)
then the second argument is the name of a window and the
ttttkkkkwwwwaaaaiiiitttt command waits for that window to be destroyed. This
form is typically used to wait for a user to finish
interacting with a dialog box before using the result of
that interaction.
While the ttttkkkkwwwwaaaaiiiitttt command is waiting it processes events in
the normal fashion, so the application will continue to
respond to user interactions.
