# Tk\_StrictMotif(3)

Return value of tk\_strictMotif variable

```

```

## NAME

Tk\_StrictMotif - Return value of tk\_strictMotif variable

## SYNOPSIS

```
#include <tk.h>

int
Tk_StrictMotif(tkwin)
```

## ARGUMENTS

- Tk\_Window *tkwin* (in)

  Token for window.

  ```

  ```

## DESCRIPTION

This procedure returns the current value of the **tk\_strictMotif** variable in the interpreter associated with *tkwin*'s application. The value is returned as an integer that is either 0 or 1. 1 means that strict Motif compliance has been requested, so anything that is not part of the Motif specification should be avoided. 0 means that “Motif-like” is good enough, and extra features are welcome.

This procedure uses a link to the Tcl variable to provide much faster access to the variable's value than could be had by calling **Tcl\_GetVar**.

## KEYWORDS

Motif compliance, tk\_strictMotif variable
