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, call sm_rescreen.

Example

#include <smdefs.h>

	/* Escape to the UNIX shell for a directory listing */

	sm_leave();
	sm_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();
