sm_return

Prepares for return to a Panther application 

void sm_return( void );

Environment

C only

Description

Call sm_return on returning to a Panther application after a temporary exit. This function sets up the operating system channel, and in character-mode initializes the display with the video file's SETUP string.

Note that sm_return does not restore the screen to its state before the call to sm_leave. To restore the screen to its previous state, use sm_rescreen.

Example

#include <smdefs.h>
	 
	/* Escape to the UNIX shell for a directory listing */
	 
	sm_leave ();
	system ("ls -l");
	sm_return ();
	sm_c_off ();
	sm_d_msg_line ("Hit any key to continue",
	             BLINK | WHITE);
	sm_getkey ();
	sm_d_msg_line ("", WHITE);
	sm_rescreen ();
