do-windows

Arguments: (child parent-stream &key result owned-p states) &rest forms

Executes forms (the body) once for each child window of parent-stream, or for each non-child owned window of parent-stream if owned-p is true. child should be a symbol that will be bound to each child (or non-child owned window) during the execution of forms. The value of result is returned from do-windows. This macro avoids consing a list of the windows as the function windows would do, and so may be more efficient in tight loops.

parent-stream may be either a window or the screen. The screen is the value returned by (screen *system*). See screen and *system*.

states may be either nil or a list of any of the window state symbols, :normal, :maximized, :icon, or :shrunk. If states is such a (non-empty) list, then the forms are executed only for windows that are in one of those states. If states is nil, then the forms are executed for all of the windows.

Example

The following form will print the names of all of the top-level windows that are in :normal state (see screen and *system*).

(do-windows (child (screen *system*) :states '(:normal))
  (print (name child)))
