tcl.unlink-pibdev

Verb: Access/TCL, Releases: AP

Unlinks a process from a port.

Syntax

unlink-pibdev {process,} port.number

Description

unlinks a process from a port.
This is typically used to disconnect a process from its associated terminal I/O so it can be controlled by the calling process. Controlling processes like 'tandem', 'mirror' or 'converse' may not be unlinked.

If the 'process' is omitted, the current process or PIB is unlinked.

The specified 'port.number' must be previously linked to the 'process' or the current 'process' if the 'process' argument is ommitted.

Example

unlink-pibdev 3
Unlinks the current process from port 3.

unlink-pibdev 2,3
Unlinks process 2 from port 3.
