foreground - prevents a graphical process from being put into the background
As shipped in IRIX 6.5.19. Unchanged since IRIX 6.5.
NAME foreground - prevents a graphical process from being put into the background C SPECIFICATION void foreground() PARAMETERS none DESCRIPTION winopen normally runs a process in the background. Call foreground before calling winopen. It keeps the process in the foreground, so that you can interact with it from the keyboard. When the process is in the foreground, it interacts in the usual way with the IRIX input/output routines. SEE ALSO winopen NOTES This routine is available only in immediate mode. If you want to use dbx or edge to debug graphics programs, foreground must be called before any calls to winopen.
