- Xview applications need to call xv_init to parse the xview related command
- line arguments before the application parses its own specific arguments.
- What if the application is basically a character based application which can
- be used in non-X environments and only uses a GUI front end when a certain
- application specific option is specified? Basically I want my application
- to be able to invoke xv_init at the start but not die and core dump on me
- when xv_init discovers that there is no X-server running but instead
- continue operating which is fine because it possibly isn't required to
- invoke its GUI. How can I accomplish this? Thanks.
