+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+These routines provide an interface to
+.IR acme (1)\'s
+filesystem interface described in
+.IR acme (3).
+.SS Window management
+.PP
+.I Awinfsopen
+opens
+.B file
+in the window\'s directory with the mode specified.
+.PP
+.I Awincreate
+creates a new window in acme and returns a
+.B AWin
+struct representing the created window.
+.PP
+.I Awinclose
+closes the window the described by the
+.B win
+argument and frees its memory.
+.PP
+.I Awincloseall
+closes all windows that have been opened using
+.I awincreate.
+.SS Window control
+.I awinctl
+writes a message to the window's control file. The
+.B fmt
+argument is a
+.IR print (2)
+style format string used to format the control message.
+.PP
+.I Awinclear
+clears the body of the window specified.
+.PP
+.I Awincat
+reads
+.B file
+and copies in into the window body.
+.PP
+.I Awinprint,
+.I awinerror,
+and
+.I awinfatal
+function similarly to
+.I awinctl;
+writing to different window control files with
+.IR print (2)
+style format strings.
+.I Awinprint
+writes to the window body wheras
+.I awinerror
+and
+.I awinfatal
+write to the window errors file.
+.I Awinfatal
+will also close the window.
+.SS Event interface
+.PP
+.I Awinlisten
+returns a channel of
+.B AEvent
+structures (also storing it in w->eventc) and launches a
+process to fill it with events as they occur.
+.PP
+.I Awinstop
+closes the channel allocated by
+.I awinlisten
+and stops processing of events.
+.PP
+.I Awinsend
+writes an event to the events file. Causing acme to
+react as if the user caused the event.
