- Synopsis:
- window create
-
- Description:
- Depending on the environment the client is running in, this creates a
- new physical window. The client must be running under the 'screen'
- program, or in the X Window System environment.
-
- 'screen' is a popular Unix program used from the command line that
- allows for multiple virtual screens in a text-based environment. With
- WINDOW CREATE, the client will create a new screen with ircII-EPIC
- running in it.
-
- X is the dominant graphical user interface used on Unix systems. It
- is generally available only on Unix workstations with high-resolution
- monitors. With WINDOW CREATE, a new xterm is started with ircII-EPIC
- running in it.
-
- See Also:
- window(4) delete, new
-
- Restrictions:
- Currently, when using this command in X, all xterms must be the same
- size. The behavior of the client is undefined if an xterm is resized.
-
- This command is only available if the WINDOW_CREATE #define (found in
- window.c) was enabled at compile time. It is not enabled by default.
-
- Bugs:
- Use of this command is not recommended. It has never truly worked as
- intended, and is rather unstable. For this reason, it is disabled by
- default, and the method for enabling it at compile time has intentionally
- been kept vague. Use WINDOW NEW instead.
