Windows distinguishes between non-console and console programs. That's why Hollywood can
compile two different types of programs on Windows: Non-console programs and console programs.
The difference between non-console programs and console programs is that console programs will
automatically open a console when they are started whereas non-console programs won't
do that. However, it's possible to manually open a console in non-console programs by
calling this function.
On all other platforms there's no such distinction between console and non-console
programs which is why this function is only supported on Windows and only if you use
the non-console version of Hollywood.
To close the console opened by this function, simply call the CloseConsole()
function.

more about using Hollywood in console mode. See Console mode for details.
