+.SH NAME
+Tk_MainLoop \- loop for events until all windows are deleted
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+\fB#include <tk.h>\fR
+.sp
+\fBTk_MainLoop\fR()
+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+\fBTk_MainLoop\fR is a procedure that loops repeatedly calling
+\fBTcl_DoOneEvent\fR. It returns only when there are no applications
+left in this process (i.e. no main windows exist anymore). Most
+windowing applications will call \fBTk_MainLoop\fR after
+initialization; the main execution of the application will consist
+entirely of callbacks invoked via \fBTcl_DoOneEvent\fR.
+
+.SH KEYWORDS
+application, event, main loop
