Historically, the list of key code macros above was influenced by the
- function-key-rich keyboard of the AT&T 7300 (also known variously as
- the "3B1", "Safari 4", and "UNIX PC"), a 1985 machine. Today's
+ keyboard of the AT&T 7300 (also known variously as the "3B1", "Safari
+ 4", and "UNIX PC"), a 1985 machine rich in function keys. Today's
computer keyboards are based that of the IBM PC/AT and tend to have
fewer. A <EM>curses</EM> application can expect such a keyboard to transmit key
codes <STRONG>KEY_UP</STRONG>, <STRONG>KEY_DOWN</STRONG>, <STRONG>KEY_LEFT</STRONG>, <STRONG>KEY_RIGHT</STRONG>, <STRONG>KEY_HOME</STRONG>, <STRONG>KEY_END</STRONG>,
Applications employing <EM>ncurses</EM> extensions should condition their use on
the visibility of the <STRONG>NCURSES_VERSION</STRONG> preprocessor macro.
- X/Open Curses, Issue 4 describes <STRONG>getch</STRONG>, <STRONG>wgetch</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvgetch</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvwgetch</STRONG>, and
- <STRONG>ungetch</STRONG>. It specifies no error conditions for them.
+ Except as noted in section "EXTENSIONS" above, X/Open Curses, Issue 4
+ describes these functions. It specifies no error conditions for them.
<STRONG>wgetch</STRONG> reads only single-byte characters.
