.SH DESCRIPTION
-.PP
These routines set options that change the style of output within
\fBcurses\fP.
All options are initially \fBFALSE\fP, unless otherwise stated.
It is not necessary to turn these options off before calling \fBendwin\fP(3X).
.SS clearok
-.PP
If \fBclearok\fP is called with \fBTRUE\fP as argument, the next
call to \fBwrefresh\fP with this window will clear the screen completely and
redraw the entire screen from scratch.
the next call to \fBwrefresh\fP with any window causes the screen to be cleared
and repainted from scratch.
.SS idlok
-.PP
If \fBidlok\fP is called with \fBTRUE\fP as second argument, \fBcurses\fP
considers using the hardware insert/delete line feature of terminals so
equipped.
If insert/delete line
cannot be used, \fBcurses\fP redraws the changed portions of all lines.
.SS idcok
-.PP
If \fBidcok\fP is called with \fBFALSE\fP as second argument, \fBcurses\fP
no longer considers using the hardware insert/delete character feature of
terminals so equipped.
Calling \fBidcok\fP with \fBTRUE\fP as second argument re-enables use
of character insertion and deletion.
.SS immedok
-.PP
-If \fBimmedok\fP is called with \fBTRUE as argument\fP, any change
-in the window image, such as the ones caused by \fBwaddch, wclrtobot, wscrl\fP,
-etc., automatically cause a call to \fBwrefresh\fP.
-However, it may
-degrade performance considerably, due to repeated calls to \fBwrefresh\fP.
-It is disabled by default.

+etc., automatically causes a call to \fBwrefresh\fP.
+However, it may degrade performance considerably,
+due to repeated calls to \fBwrefresh\fP.
+Calling \fBimmedok\fP with \fBFALSE\fP as second argument
+restores the default behavior,
+i.e., deferring screen updates until a refresh is needed.
.SS leaveok
-.PP
Normally, the hardware cursor is left at the location of the window cursor
being refreshed.
The \fBleaveok\fP option allows the cursor to be left
It is useful for applications where
the cursor is not used, since it reduces the need for cursor motions.
.SS scrollok
-.PP
The \fBscrollok\fP option controls what happens when the cursor of a window is
moved off the edge of the window or scrolling region, either as a result of a
newline action on the bottom line, or typing the last character of the last
(Note that to get the physical scrolling effect on the terminal, it is
also necessary to call \fBidlok\fP).
.SS setscrreg/wsetscrreg
-.PP
The \fBsetscrreg\fP and \fBwsetscrreg\fP routines allow the application
programmer to set a software scrolling region in a window.
The \fItop\fP and
.bP
\fBwsetscrreg\fP
returns an error if the scrolling region limits extend outside the window.
-.RE
.PP
X/Open does not define any error conditions.
This implementation returns an error
The \fBimmedok\fP routine is useful for windows that are used as terminal
emulators.
