-.SH NAME
-tkwait \- Wait for variable to change or window to be destroyed

-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.PP
-The \fBtkwait\fR command waits for one of several things to happen,
-then it returns without taking any other actions.
-The return value is always an empty string.
-If the first argument is \fBvariable\fR (or any abbreviation of
-it) then the second argument is the name of a global variable and the
-command waits for that variable to be modified.
-If the first argument is \fBvisibility\fR (or any abbreviation
-of it) then the second argument is the name of a window and the
-\fBtkwait\fR command waits for a change in its
-visibility state (as indicated by the arrival of a VisibilityNotify
-event). This form is typically used to wait for a newly-created
-window to appear on the screen before taking some action.
-If the first argument is \fBwindow\fR (or any abbreviation
-of it) then the second argument is the name of a window and the
-\fBtkwait\fR command waits for that window to be destroyed.
-This form is typically used to wait for a user to finish interacting
-with a dialog box before using the result of that interaction.
-.PP
-While the \fBtkwait\fR command is waiting it processes events in
-the normal fashion, so the application will continue to respond
-to user interactions.
-If an event handler invokes \fBtkwait\fR again, the nested call
-to \fBtkwait\fR must complete before the outer call can complete.
