NAME

wselect − attach a keyboard to the specified window

SYNOPSIS

int wselect(fd,value);
int fd;
int value;

DESCRIPTION

fd is an integer file descriptor for an opened window type device interface. 

value is the set/interrogation parameter; the following values are valid for this parameter:

-1 returns 0 if a keyboard is not attached to this window, otherwise it returns a 1 if a keyboard is attached. 

0 the keyboard  is detached from this window.  The keyboard is then automatically attached to the topmost window unless the window specified is the topmost window.  In this case the keyboard is attached to the next window down in the stack.  If there is only one window the keyboard remains attached to it. 

1 the keyboard is attached to the specified window.  This has the side effect of detaching the keyboard from its current window. 

DISCUSSION

This call inquires or sets whether the keyboard is attached to this window device. 

There can only be one window at a time connected to the keyboard. 

The window attached to the keyboard is also the window that is currently subject to manipulation by the interactive human interface. 

SEE ALSO

wautoselect(3WS), wshuffle(3W). 

DIAGNOSTICS

A return of -1 indicates failure; otherwise 0 or 1 is returned.  See errno(2) for further information.
