ext/tk/README.fork
 
1
Ruby/Tk does NOT support forking the process on which Tk interpreter
 
2
is running (unless NEVER control Tk interpreter under the forked child 
 
3
process). In the library 'tk.rb', a Tk interpreter is initialized. 
 
4
Therefore, if you want running Tk under a child process, please call
 
5
"require 'tk'" in the child process. 
 
6
 
 
7
# If do fork and exec(<new Ruby/Tk>) on the child process, you can 
 
8
# control Ruby/Tk interpreter on the child process by 'send' command 
 
9
# of Tcl/Tk. About this, please see Tk.appsend and Tk.rb_appsend, or 
 
10
# 'remote-tk.rb' and the sample 'sample/remote-ip_sample.rb'.

For example, the following sample1 will NOT work, and sample2 will
 
13
work properly.
