Category 3

A dtksh category 3 command differs slightly from its corresponding C function. Where the C function returns its value as the value of the procedure call, a dtksh command requires an additional parameter. This parameter is the name of an environment variable into which the return value is to be placed. It is always the first parameter. Example:

XmTextGetString TEXT_VALUE $TEXT_WIDGET  
echo "The value of the text field is "$TEXT_VALUE
