NAME

windman - UITclSh GUI for quick help retrieving

SYNOPSIS

windman

DESCRIPTION

The Tornado software suite includes the Tornado Online Manuals, a hypertext publication with complete reference information for Tornado and VxWorks. This information can be displayed from any of the Help menus of the Tornado tools or by invoking windman from the UNIX command line.

The windman interface is a UITcl interface with two tabs that allow you to navigate around the Tornado reference information. This interface provides both a table of contents and a quick search index. It contains two sheets:

CONTENT SHEET

This sheet allows you to navigate through the Wind River reference files tree structure. You can navigate through the books, chapters, and topics by expanding the tree branches. When you reach the leaves of the tree (the function or library names), double-clicked on a name to open a web browser displaying the reference entry.

INDEX SHEET

This sheet has two fields that allow you to locate topics in different ways.

Entry Name Field
This text field allows you to type the name of the function or library you wish to retrieve. As you type each letter the selection moves to the closest name found in the entry list field. This is a case-sentitive interface.

Entry List Field
This is a complete list of all the available routine and library references. It allows you to select any item from the list.

Double-click on the selected list item or click the Display button to open a browser window containing the reference entry.
