If you want the command to be used interactively, you use StumpWM’s
defcommand syntax, as in the examples below.
| | (defcommand test (foo bar)
((:string "How you're going to prompt for variable foo: ")
(:number "How you want to prompt for variable bar: "))
"This command is a test"
(body...))
(defcommand test2 () ()
"This is also a test"
(body...))
(defcommand title (args) (interactive-args)
"Doc string"
(body...))
|
So basically, inside the first set of parentheses after the
function name, you specify what (if any) arguments will be passed to
the command. The second set of parentheses tells StumpWM how to get
those arguments if they’re not explicitly passed to the command. For
example,
| | ((:string "What do you want to do: "))
|
will read a string from the input the user provides. The quoted
text is the prompt the user will see. Of course, if you were to, say,
call the command test, as defined above, from another piece of code,
it wouldn’t give the prompt as long as you fed it arguments.
