Safe Tk adds the ability to configure the interpreter for safe +Tk operations and load Tk into safe interpreters. +.PP +The \fBsafe::loadTk\fR command initializes the required data structures in +the named safe interpreter and then loads Tk into it. The interpreter must +have been created with \fBsafe::interpCreate\fR or have been initialized +with \fBsafe::interpInit\fR. The command returns the name of the safe +interpreter. If \fB\-use\fR is specified, the window identified by the +specified system dependent identifier \fIwindowId\fR is used to contain the +.QW . +window of the safe interpreter; it can be any valid id, eventually referencing +a window belonging to another application. As a convenience, if the window you +plan to use is a Tk Window of the application you can use the window name +(e.g., +.QW \fB.x.y\fR ) +instead of its window Id (e.g., from \fBwinfo id\fR \fB.x.y\fR). +When \fB\-use\fR is not specified, a new toplevel window is created for the +.QW . +window of the safe interpreter. On X11 if you want the embedded window to use +another display than the default one, specify it with \fB\-display\fR. See +the \fBSECURITY ISSUES\fR section below for implementation details. +.SH "SECURITY ISSUES" +.PP +Please read the \fBsafe\fR manual page for Tcl to learn about the basic +security considerations for Safe Tcl. +.PP +\fBsafe::loadTk\fR adds the value of \fBtk_library\fR taken from the master +interpreter to the virtual access path of the safe interpreter so that +auto-loading will work in the safe interpreter. +.PP +Tk initialization is now safe with respect to not trusting the slave's state +for startup. \fBsafe::loadTk\fR registers the slave's name so when the Tk +initialization (\fBTk_SafeInit\fR) is called and in turn calls the master's +\fBsafe::InitTk\fR it will return the desired \fBargv\fR equivalent +(\fB\-use\fR \fIwindowId\fR, correct \fB\-display\fR, etc.) +.PP +When \fB\-use\fR is not used, the new toplevel created is specially decorated +so the user is always aware that the user interface presented comes from a +potentially unsafe code and can easily delete the corresponding interpreter. +.PP +On X11, conflicting \fB\-use\fR and \fB\-display\fR are likely to generate a +fatal X error. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +safe(n), interp(n), library(n), load(n), package(n), source(n), unknown(n) +.SH KEYWORDS +alias, auto-loading, auto_mkindex, load, master interpreter, safe +interpreter, slave interpreter, source +'\" Local Variables: +'\" mode: nroff +'\" End: |
