SYNOPSIS

gwindstop [directory] [directory] .. 

DESCRIPTION

gwindstop
destroys windows and their associated pty files from named directories. The windows must have been created earlier by xwcreate(1).
 

directory
is the name of the directory where the pty files for the windows reside. If directory name is not supplied, /dev/screen is taken to be the desired directory. Otherwise, if the  directory argument implies an absolute pathname, then it will be taken to be the desired directory. Otherwise, the directory name will be taken to be relative to the value of the environment variable $WMDIR.  If $WMDIR is not defined in the environment, the directory name will be taken to be relative to /dev/screen.  Note: if $WMDIR is defined in the environment, it must represent an absolute pathname. 
 

DIAGNOSTICS

If the windows in the indicated directory are successfully destroyed, then the program remains silent. If one or more directories could not be found, an error message ( "Invalid directory") will be printed on the standard output.
