toolplaces generates position, size, label, and program attributes for the windows running on a SunView screen at the time of execution. (toolplaces does not work when SunView is not running.)
Many people redirect standard output from toolplaces to the .sunview file, so as to reuse the current window system attributes each time they execute sunview.1
For each window on the screen at execution time, toolplaces shows:
the tool name the ``open'' window position the size of the window in pixels the ``closed,'' or icon, window position an indicator of whether the window is open or closed the label at the top of the window the name of the program running in the window, if a
program is running there
any flags or options to a program running in the window
toolplaces describes each window on one output line, as long as necessary, using the current sunview format.
Current sunview format consists of window tool descriptions, one per line, as in this example (the \ indicates that the current line continues on the next line):
shelltool -Wp 491 795 -Ws 580 87 -WP 0 836 -C clock -Wp 120 120 -Ws 122 55 -WP 1086 826 -Wi \ -Wl " open clock" -S -r -d wdm shelltool -Wp 491 166 -Ws 650 567 -WP 702 836 \ -Wl due rlogin due shelltool -Wp 0 0 -Ws 650 525 -WP 64 836 \ -Wl "Small Window: /usr/bin/csh" shelltool -Wp 501 0 -Ws 650 812 -WP 128 836 \ -Wl "Big Window: /usr/bin/csh"
