NAME
       Tk_MainLoop - loop for events until all windows are deleted

SYNOPSIS
       #include <tk.h>

       Tk_MainLoop()
______________________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION
       Tk_MainLoop    is   a   procedure   that   loops   repeatedly   calling
       Tcl_DoOneEvent.  It returns only when there are no applications left in
       this  process  (i.e.  no  main  windows exist anymore).  Most windowing
       applications will call Tk_MainLoop after initialization; the main  exe-
       cution  of  the  application will consist entirely of callbacks invoked
       via Tcl_DoOneEvent.

KEYWORDS
       application, event, main loop
