Variable Values

This section describes the types of values for some of the variables in a dtksh app-defaults file.

Defined Values

The C bindings of the interfaces to X, Xt and Motif include many nonstring values that are defined in header files. The general format of such values consists of an Xt or Xm prefix followed by a descriptive name. For example, one of the constraint values for a child of a form widget is XmATTACH_FORM. Equivalent values are specified in dtksh by dropping the prefix, just as in a Motif defaults file:

• XmDIALOG_COMMAND_TEXT becomes DIALOG_COMMAND_TEXT

• XtATTACH_FORM becomes ATTACH_FORM

Boolean Values

You can specify a Boolean value as a parameter to a dtksh command using the words True or False; case is not significant. A Boolean result is returned as either True or False, using all lowercase letters.
