DESCRIPTION
The procedure tk_chooseDirectory pops up a dialog box for
the user to select a directory. The following option-value
pairs are possible as command line arguments:
-initialdir dirname
Specifies that the directories in directory should
be displayed when the dialog pops up. If this
parameter is not specified, then the directories in
the current working directory are displayed. If the
parameter specifies a relative path, the return
value will convert the relative path to an absolute
path. This option may not always work on the Mac
intosh. This is not a bug. Rather, the General
Controls control panel on the Mac allows the end
user to override the application default directory.
-parent window
Makes window the logical parent of the dialog. The
dialog is displayed on top of its parent window.
-title titleString
Specifies a string to display as the title of the
dialog box. If this option is not specified, then a
default title will be displayed.
-mustexist boolean
Specifies whether the user may specify non-existant
directories. If this parameter is true, then the
user may only select directories that already
exist. The default value is false.
