58 The <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> library routines give the user a terminal-independent
59 method of updating character screens with reasonable optimization.
60 This implementation is "new curses" (ncurses) and is the approved
61 replacement for 4.4BSD classic curses, which has been discontinued.
62 This describes <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> version 6.1 (patch 20191214).
64 The <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> library emulates the curses library of System V Release 4
65 UNIX, and XPG4 (X/Open Portability Guide) curses (also known as XSI
66 curses). XSI stands for X/Open System Interfaces Extension. The
67 <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> library is freely redistributable in source form. Differences
68 from the SVr4 curses are summarized under the <STRONG>EXTENSIONS</STRONG> and <STRONG>PORTABIL-</STRONG>
69 <STRONG>ITY</STRONG> sections below and described in detail in the respective <STRONG>EXTEN-</STRONG>
70 <STRONG>SIONS</STRONG>, <STRONG>PORTABILITY</STRONG> and <STRONG>BUGS</STRONG> sections of individual man pages.
72 The <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> library also provides many useful extensions, i.e., fea-
73 tures which cannot be implemented by a simple add-on library but which
74 require access to the internals of the library.
76 A program using these routines must be linked with the <STRONG>-lncurses</STRONG>
77 option, or (if it has been generated) with the debugging library
78 <STRONG>-lncurses_g</STRONG>. (Your system integrator may also have installed these
79 libraries under the names <STRONG>-lcurses</STRONG> and <STRONG>-lcurses_g</STRONG>.) The ncurses_g
80 library generates trace logs (in a file called 'trace' in the current
81 directory) that describe curses actions. See also the section on
82 <STRONG>ALTERNATE</STRONG> <STRONG>CONFIGURATIONS</STRONG>.
84 The <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> package supports: overall screen, window and pad manipula-
85 tion; output to windows and pads; reading terminal input; control over
86 terminal and <STRONG>curses</STRONG> input and output options; environment query rou-
87 tines; color manipulation; use of soft label keys; terminfo capabili-
88 ties; and access to low-level terminal-manipulation routines.
91 </PRE><H3><a name="h3-Initialization">Initialization</a></H3><PRE>
92 The library uses the locale which the calling program has initialized.
93 That is normally done with <STRONG>setlocale</STRONG>:
95 <STRONG>setlocale(LC_ALL,</STRONG> <STRONG>"");</STRONG>
97 If the locale is not initialized, the library assumes that characters
98 are printable as in ISO-8859-1, to work with certain legacy programs.
99 You should initialize the locale and not rely on specific details of
100 the library when the locale has not been setup.
102 The function <STRONG>initscr</STRONG> or <STRONG>newterm</STRONG> must be called to initialize the
103 library before any of the other routines that deal with windows and
104 screens are used. The routine <STRONG><A HREF="curs_initscr.3x.html">endwin(3x)</A></STRONG> must be called before exit-
107 To get character-at-a-time input without echoing (most interactive,
108 screen oriented programs want this), the following sequence should be
111 <STRONG>initscr();</STRONG> <STRONG>cbreak();</STRONG> <STRONG>noecho();</STRONG>
113 Most programs would additionally use the sequence:
115 <STRONG>nonl();</STRONG>
116 <STRONG>intrflush(stdscr,</STRONG> <STRONG>FALSE);</STRONG>
117 <STRONG>keypad(stdscr,</STRONG> <STRONG>TRUE);</STRONG>
119 Before a <STRONG>curses</STRONG> program is run, the tab stops of the terminal should be
120 set and its initialization strings, if defined, must be output. This
121 can be done by executing the <STRONG>tput</STRONG> <STRONG>init</STRONG> command after the shell environ-
122 ment variable <STRONG>TERM</STRONG> has been exported. <STRONG>tset(1)</STRONG> is usually responsible
123 for doing this. [See <STRONG><A HREF="terminfo.5.html">terminfo(5)</A></STRONG> for further details.]
126 </PRE><H3><a name="h3-Datatypes">Datatypes</a></H3><PRE>
127 The <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> library permits manipulation of data structures, called
128 <EM>windows</EM>, which can be thought of as two-dimensional arrays of charac-
129 ters representing all or part of a CRT screen. A default window called
130 <STRONG>stdscr</STRONG>, which is the size of the terminal screen, is supplied. Others
131 may be created with <STRONG>newwin</STRONG>.
133 Note that <STRONG>curses</STRONG> does not handle overlapping windows, that's done by
134 the <STRONG><A HREF="panel.3x.html">panel(3x)</A></STRONG> library. This means that you can either use <STRONG>stdscr</STRONG> or
135 divide the screen into tiled windows and not using <STRONG>stdscr</STRONG> at all. Mix-
136 ing the two will result in unpredictable, and undesired, effects.
138 Windows are referred to by variables declared as <STRONG>WINDOW</STRONG> <STRONG>*</STRONG>. These data
139 structures are manipulated with routines described here and elsewhere
140 in the <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> manual pages. Among those, the most basic routines are
141 <STRONG>move</STRONG> and <STRONG>addch</STRONG>. More general versions of these routines are included
142 with names beginning with <STRONG>w</STRONG>, allowing the user to specify a window.
143 The routines not beginning with <STRONG>w</STRONG> affect <STRONG>stdscr</STRONG>.
145 After using routines to manipulate a window, <STRONG><A HREF="curs_refresh.3x.html">refresh(3x)</A></STRONG> is called,
146 telling <STRONG>curses</STRONG> to make the user's CRT screen look like <STRONG>stdscr</STRONG>. The
147 characters in a window are actually of type <STRONG>chtype</STRONG>, (character and
148 attribute data) so that other information about the character may also
149 be stored with each character.
151 Special windows called <EM>pads</EM> may also be manipulated. These are windows
152 which are not constrained to the size of the screen and whose contents
153 need not be completely displayed. See <STRONG><A HREF="curs_pad.3x.html">curs_pad(3x)</A></STRONG> for more informa-
156 In addition to drawing characters on the screen, video attributes and
157 colors may be supported, causing the characters to show up in such
158 modes as underlined, in reverse video, or in color on terminals that
159 support such display enhancements. Line drawing characters may be
160 specified to be output. On input, <STRONG>curses</STRONG> is also able to translate
161 arrow and function keys that transmit escape sequences into single val-
162 ues. The video attributes, line drawing characters, and input values
163 use names, defined in <STRONG><curses.h></STRONG>, such as <STRONG>A_REVERSE</STRONG>, <STRONG>ACS_HLINE</STRONG>, and
164 <STRONG>KEY_LEFT</STRONG>.
167 </PRE><H3><a name="h3-Environment-variables">Environment variables</a></H3><PRE>
168 If the environment variables <STRONG>LINES</STRONG> and <STRONG>COLUMNS</STRONG> are set, or if the pro-
169 gram is executing in a window environment, line and column information
170 in the environment will override information read by <EM>terminfo</EM>. This
171 would affect a program running in an AT&T 630 layer, for example, where
172 the size of a screen is changeable (see <STRONG>ENVIRONMENT</STRONG>).
174 If the environment variable <STRONG>TERMINFO</STRONG> is defined, any program using
175 <STRONG>curses</STRONG> checks for a local terminal definition before checking in the
176 standard place. For example, if <STRONG>TERM</STRONG> is set to <STRONG>att4424</STRONG>, then the com-
177 piled terminal definition is found in
179 <STRONG>/usr/share/terminfo/a/att4424</STRONG>.
181 (The <STRONG>a</STRONG> is copied from the first letter of <STRONG>att4424</STRONG> to avoid creation of
182 huge directories.) However, if <STRONG>TERMINFO</STRONG> is set to <STRONG>$HOME/myterms</STRONG>,
183 <STRONG>curses</STRONG> first checks
185 <STRONG>$HOME/myterms/a/att4424</STRONG>,
187 and if that fails, it then checks
189 <STRONG>/usr/share/terminfo/a/att4424</STRONG>.
191 This is useful for developing experimental definitions or when write
192 permission in <STRONG>/usr/share/terminfo</STRONG> is not available.
194 The integer variables <STRONG>LINES</STRONG> and <STRONG>COLS</STRONG> are defined in <STRONG><curses.h></STRONG> and will
195 be filled in by <STRONG>initscr</STRONG> with the size of the screen. The constants
196 <STRONG>TRUE</STRONG> and <STRONG>FALSE</STRONG> have the values <STRONG>1</STRONG> and <STRONG>0</STRONG>, respectively.
198 The <STRONG>curses</STRONG> routines also define the <STRONG>WINDOW</STRONG> <STRONG>*</STRONG> variable <STRONG>curscr</STRONG> which is
199 used for certain low-level operations like clearing and redrawing a
200 screen containing garbage. The <STRONG>curscr</STRONG> can be used in only a few rou-
204 </PRE><H3><a name="h3-Routine-and-Argument-Names">Routine and Argument Names</a></H3><PRE>
205 Many <STRONG>curses</STRONG> routines have two or more versions. The routines prefixed
206 with <STRONG>w</STRONG> require a window argument. The routines prefixed with <STRONG>p</STRONG> require
207 a pad argument. Those without a prefix generally use <STRONG>stdscr</STRONG>.
209 The routines prefixed with <STRONG>mv</STRONG> require a <EM>y</EM> and <EM>x</EM> coordinate to move to
210 before performing the appropriate action. The <STRONG>mv</STRONG> routines imply a call
211 to <STRONG>move</STRONG> before the call to the other routine. The coordinate <EM>y</EM> always
212 refers to the row (of the window), and <EM>x</EM> always refers to the column.
213 The upper left-hand corner is always (0,0), not (1,1).
215 The routines prefixed with <STRONG>mvw</STRONG> take both a window argument and <EM>x</EM> and <EM>y</EM>
216 coordinates. The window argument is always specified before the coor-
219 In each case, <EM>win</EM> is the window affected, and <EM>pad</EM> is the pad affected;
220 <EM>win</EM> and <EM>pad</EM> are always pointers to type <STRONG>WINDOW</STRONG>.
222 Option setting routines require a Boolean flag <EM>bf</EM> with the value <STRONG>TRUE</STRONG>
223 or <STRONG>FALSE</STRONG>; <EM>bf</EM> is always of type <STRONG>bool</STRONG>. Most of the data types used in
224 the library routines, such as <STRONG>WINDOW</STRONG>, <STRONG>SCREEN</STRONG>, <STRONG>bool</STRONG>, and <STRONG>chtype</STRONG> are
225 defined in <STRONG><curses.h></STRONG>. Types used for the terminfo routines such as
226 <STRONG>TERMINAL</STRONG> are defined in <STRONG><term.h></STRONG>.
228 This manual page describes functions which may appear in any configura-
229 tion of the library. There are two common configurations of the
233 the "normal" library, which handles 8-bit characters. The nor-
234 mal (8-bit) library stores characters combined with attributes
235 in <STRONG>chtype</STRONG> data.
237 Attributes alone (no corresponding character) may be stored in
238 <STRONG>chtype</STRONG> or the equivalent <STRONG>attr_t</STRONG> data. In either case, the data
239 is stored in something like an integer.
241 Each cell (row and column) in a <STRONG>WINDOW</STRONG> is stored as a <STRONG>chtype</STRONG>.
244 the so-called "wide" library, which handles multibyte charac-
245 ters (see the section on <STRONG>ALTERNATE</STRONG> <STRONG>CONFIGURATIONS</STRONG>). The "wide"
246 library includes all of the calls from the "normal" library.
247 It adds about one third more calls using data types which store
248 multibyte characters:
250 <STRONG>cchar_t</STRONG>
251 corresponds to <STRONG>chtype</STRONG>. However it is a structure, because
252 more data is stored than can fit into an integer. The
253 characters are large enough to require a full integer
254 value - and there may be more than one character per cell.
255 The video attributes and color are stored in separate
256 fields of the structure.
258 Each cell (row and column) in a <STRONG>WINDOW</STRONG> is stored as a
259 <STRONG>cchar_t</STRONG>.
261 The <STRONG><A HREF="setcchar.3x.html">setcchar(3x)</A></STRONG> and <STRONG><A HREF="getcchar.3x.html">getcchar(3x)</A></STRONG> functions store and
262 retrieve the data from a <STRONG>cchar_t</STRONG> structure.
264 <STRONG>wchar_t</STRONG>
265 stores a "wide" character. Like <STRONG>chtype</STRONG>, this may be an
268 <STRONG>wint_t</STRONG>
269 stores a <STRONG>wchar_t</STRONG> or <STRONG>WEOF</STRONG> - not the same, though both may
272 The "wide" library provides new functions which are analogous
273 to functions in the "normal" library. There is a naming con-
274 vention which relates many of the normal/wide variants: a "_w"
275 is inserted into the name. For example, <STRONG>waddch</STRONG> becomes
276 <STRONG>wadd_wch</STRONG>.

746 Routines that return an integer return <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon failure and an integer
747 value other than <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon successful completion, unless otherwise noted
748 in the routine descriptions.
750 As a general rule, routines check for null pointers passed as parame-

763 The following environment symbols are useful for customizing the run-
764 time behavior of the <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> library. The most important ones have
765 been already discussed in detail.
768 </PRE><H3><a name="h3-CC-command-character">CC command-character</a></H3><PRE>
769 When set, change occurrences of the command_character (i.e., the <STRONG>cmdch</STRONG>
770 capability) of the loaded terminfo entries to the value of this vari-
771 able. Very few terminfo entries provide this feature.
773 Because this name is also used in development environments to represent
774 the C compiler's name, <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> ignores it if it does not happen to be a
778 </PRE><H3><a name="h3-BAUDRATE">BAUDRATE</a></H3><PRE>
779 The debugging library checks this environment variable when the appli-
780 cation has redirected output to a file. The variable's numeric value
781 is used for the baudrate. If no value is found, <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> uses 9600.
782 This allows testers to construct repeatable test-cases that take into
783 account costs that depend on baudrate.
786 </PRE><H3><a name="h3-COLUMNS">COLUMNS</a></H3><PRE>
787 Specify the width of the screen in characters. Applications running in
788 a windowing environment usually are able to obtain the width of the
789 window in which they are executing. If neither the <STRONG>COLUMNS</STRONG> value nor
790 the terminal's screen size is available, <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> uses the size which
791 may be specified in the terminfo database (i.e., the <STRONG>cols</STRONG> capability).
793 It is important that your application use a correct size for the
794 screen. This is not always possible because your application may be
795 running on a host which does not honor NAWS (Negotiations About Window
796 Size), or because you are temporarily running as another user. How-
797 ever, setting <STRONG>COLUMNS</STRONG> and/or <STRONG>LINES</STRONG> overrides the library's use of the
798 screen size obtained from the operating system.
800 Either <STRONG>COLUMNS</STRONG> or <STRONG>LINES</STRONG> symbols may be specified independently. This
801 is mainly useful to circumvent legacy misfeatures of terminal descrip-
802 tions, e.g., xterm which commonly specifies a 65 line screen. For best
803 results, <STRONG>lines</STRONG> and <STRONG>cols</STRONG> should not be specified in a terminal descrip-
804 tion for terminals which are run as emulations.
806 Use the <STRONG>use_env</STRONG> function to disable all use of external environment
807 (but not including system calls) to determine the screen size. Use the
808 <STRONG>use_tioctl</STRONG> function to update <STRONG>COLUMNS</STRONG> or <STRONG>LINES</STRONG> to match the screen size
809 obtained from system calls or the terminal database.

813 Specifies the total time, in milliseconds, for which ncurses will await
814 a character sequence, e.g., a function key. The default value, 1000
815 milliseconds, is enough for most uses. However, it is made a variable
816 to accommodate unusual applications.
818 The most common instance where you may wish to change this value is to
819 work with slow hosts, e.g., running on a network. If the host cannot
820 read characters rapidly enough, it will have the same effect as if the
821 terminal did not send characters rapidly enough. The library will
824 Note that xterm mouse events are built up from character sequences
825 received from the xterm. If your application makes heavy use of multi-
826 ple-clicking, you may wish to lengthen this default value because the
827 timeout applies to the composed multi-click event as well as the indi-
830 In addition to the environment variable, this implementation provides a
831 global variable with the same name. Portable applications should not
832 rely upon the presence of ESCDELAY in either form, but setting the
833 environment variable rather than the global variable does not create
834 problems when compiling an application.

865 Override the compiled-in assumption that the terminal's default colors
866 are white-on-black (see <STRONG><A HREF="default_colors.3x.html">default_colors(3x)</A></STRONG>). You may set the fore-
867 ground and background color values with this environment variable by
868 proving a 2-element list: foreground,background. For example, to tell
869 ncurses to not assume anything about the colors, set this to "-1,-1".
870 To make it green-on-black, set it to "2,0". Any positive value from

888 If present, the environment variable is a list of one or more terminal
889 names against which the <STRONG>TERM</STRONG> environment variable is matched. Setting
890 it to an empty value disables the GPM interface; using the built-in
891 support for xterm, etc.

912 Most of the terminal descriptions in the terminfo database are written
913 for real "hardware" terminals. Many people use terminal emulators
914 which run in a windowing environment and use curses-based applications.
915 Terminal emulators can duplicate all of the important aspects of a
916 hardware terminal, but they do not have the same limitations. The
917 chief limitation of a hardware terminal from the standpoint of your
918 application is the management of dataflow, i.e., timing. Unless a
919 hardware terminal is interfaced into a terminal concentrator (which
920 does flow control), it (or your application) must manage dataflow, pre-
921 venting overruns. The cheapest solution (no hardware cost) is for your
922 program to do this by pausing after operations that the terminal does
923 slowly, such as clearing the display.
925 As a result, many terminal descriptions (including the vt100) have
926 delay times embedded. You may wish to use these descriptions, but not
927 want to pay the performance penalty.
929 Set the NCURSES_NO_PADDING environment variable to disable all but
930 mandatory padding. Mandatory padding is used as a part of special con-
931 trol sequences such as <EM>flash</EM>.

935 This setting is obsolete. Before changes

939 <STRONG>o</STRONG> continued though 5.9 patch 20130126
941 <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> enabled buffered output during terminal initialization. This
942 was done (as in SVr4 curses) for performance reasons. For testing pur-
943 poses, both of <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> and certain applications, this feature was made
944 optional. Setting the NCURSES_NO_SETBUF variable disabled output
945 buffering, leaving the output in the original (usually line buffered)
948 In the current implementation, ncurses performs its own buffering and
949 does not require this workaround. It does not modify the buffering of
952 The reason for the change was to make the behavior for interrupts and
953 other signals more robust. One drawback is that certain nonconven-
954 tional programs would mix ordinary stdio calls with ncurses calls and
955 (usually) work. This is no longer possible since ncurses is not using
956 the buffered standard output but its own output (to the same file
957 descriptor). As a special case, the low-level calls such as <STRONG>putp</STRONG> still
958 use the standard output. But high-level curses calls do not.

962 During initialization, the <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> library checks for special cases
963 where VT100 line-drawing (and the corresponding alternate character set
964 capabilities) described in the terminfo are known to be missing.
965 Specifically, when running in a UTF-8 locale, the Linux console emula-
966 tor and the GNU screen program ignore these. Ncurses checks the <STRONG>TERM</STRONG>
967 environment variable for these. For other special cases, you should
968 set this environment variable. Doing this tells ncurses to use Unicode
969 values which correspond to the VT100 line-drawing glyphs. That works
970 for the special cases cited, and is likely to work for terminal emula-
973 When setting this variable, you should set it to a nonzero value. Set-
974 ting it to zero (or to a nonnumber) disables the special check for
975 "linux" and "screen".
977 As an alternative to the environment variable, ncurses checks for an
978 extended terminfo capability <STRONG>U8</STRONG>. This is a numeric capability which
979 can be compiled using <STRONG>tic</STRONG> <STRONG>-x</STRONG>. For example
981 # linux console, if patched to provide working
982 # VT100 shift-in/shift-out, with corresponding font.
983 linux-vt100|linux console with VT100 line-graphics,
986 # uxterm with vt100Graphics resource set to false
987 xterm-utf8|xterm relying on UTF-8 line-graphics,
990 The name "U8" is chosen to be two characters, to permit it to be used
991 by applications that use ncurses' termcap interface.

995 During initialization, the <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> debugging library checks the
996 NCURSES_TRACE environment variable. If it is defined, to a numeric
997 value, <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> calls the <STRONG>trace</STRONG> function, using that value as the argu-
1000 The argument values, which are defined in <STRONG>curses.h</STRONG>, provide several
1001 types of information. When running with traces enabled, your applica-
1002 tion will write the file <STRONG>trace</STRONG> to the current directory.

1008 Denotes your terminal type. Each terminal type is distinct, though
1011 <STRONG>TERM</STRONG> is commonly set by terminal emulators to help applications find a
1012 workable terminal description. Some of those choose a popular approxi-
1013 mation, e.g., "ansi", "vt100", "xterm" rather than an exact fit. Not
1014 infrequently, your application will have problems with that approach,
1015 e.g., incorrect function-key definitions.
1017 If you set <STRONG>TERM</STRONG> in your environment, it has no effect on the operation
1018 of the terminal emulator. It only affects the way applications work
1019 within the terminal. Likewise, as a general rule (<STRONG>xterm</STRONG> being a rare
1020 exception), terminal emulators which allow you to specify <STRONG>TERM</STRONG> as a
1021 parameter or configuration value do not change their behavior to match

1026 If the <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> library has been configured with <EM>termcap</EM> support,
1027 <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> will check for a terminal's description in termcap form if it
1028 is not available in the terminfo database.
1030 The <STRONG>TERMCAP</STRONG> environment variable contains either a terminal description
1031 (with newlines stripped out), or a file name telling where the informa-
1032 tion denoted by the <STRONG>TERM</STRONG> environment variable exists. In either case,
1033 setting it directs <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> to ignore the usual place for this informa-
1034 tion, e.g., /etc/termcap.

1038 <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> can be configured to read from multiple terminal databases.
1039 The <STRONG>TERMINFO</STRONG> variable overrides the location for the default terminal
1040 database. Terminal descriptions (in terminal format) are stored in
1043 <STRONG>o</STRONG> Normally these are stored in a directory tree, using subdirectories
1044 named by the first letter of the terminal names therein.
1046 This is the scheme used in System V, which legacy Unix systems use,
1047 and the <STRONG>TERMINFO</STRONG> variable is used by <EM>curses</EM> applications on those
1048 systems to override the default location of the terminal database.
1050 <STRONG>o</STRONG> If <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> is built to use hashed databases, then each entry in
1051 this list may be the path of a hashed database file, e.g.,
1053 /usr/share/terminfo.db
1057 /usr/share/terminfo/
1059 The hashed database uses less disk-space and is a little faster
1060 than the directory tree. However, some applications assume the
1061 existence of the directory tree, reading it directly rather than
1062 using the terminfo library calls.
1064 <STRONG>o</STRONG> If <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> is built with a support for reading termcap files
1065 directly, then an entry in this list may be the path of a termcap
1068 <STRONG>o</STRONG> If the <STRONG>TERMINFO</STRONG> variable begins with "hex:" or "b64:", <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> uses
1069 the remainder of that variable as a compiled terminal description.
1070 You might produce the base64 format using <STRONG><A HREF="infocmp.1m.html">infocmp(1m)</A></STRONG>:
1072 TERMINFO="$(infocmp -0 -Q2 -q)"
1075 The compiled description is used if it corresponds to the terminal
1076 identified by the <STRONG>TERM</STRONG> variable.
1078 Setting <STRONG>TERMINFO</STRONG> is the simplest, but not the only way to set location
1079 of the default terminal database. The complete list of database loca-
1080 tions in order follows:
1082 <STRONG>o</STRONG> the last terminal database to which <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> wrote, if any, is
1085 <STRONG>o</STRONG> the location specified by the TERMINFO environment variable

1089 <STRONG>o</STRONG> locations listed in the TERMINFO_DIRS environment variable
1091 <STRONG>o</STRONG> one or more locations whose names are configured and compiled
1092 into the ncurses library, i.e.,

1095 sponding to the TERMINFO_DIRS variable)

1101 Specifies a list of locations to search for terminal descriptions.
1102 Each location in the list is a terminal database as described in the
1103 section on the <STRONG>TERMINFO</STRONG> variable. The list is separated by colons
1104 (i.e., ":") on Unix, semicolons on OS/2 EMX.
1106 There is no corresponding feature in System V terminfo; it is an exten-
1107 sion developed for <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG>.

1111 If <STRONG>TERMCAP</STRONG> does not hold a file name then <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> checks the <STRONG>TERMPATH</STRONG>
1112 environment variable. This is a list of filenames separated by spaces
1113 or colons (i.e., ":") on Unix, semicolons on OS/2 EMX.
1115 If the <STRONG>TERMPATH</STRONG> environment variable is not set, <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> looks in the
1118 /etc/termcap, /usr/share/misc/termcap and $HOME/.termcap,
1122 The library may be configured to disregard the following variables when
1123 the current user is the superuser (root), or if the application uses
1124 setuid or setgid permissions:

1129 </PRE><H2><a name="h2-ALTERNATE-CONFIGURATIONS">ALTERNATE CONFIGURATIONS</a></H2><PRE>
1130 Several different configurations are possible, depending on the config-
1131 ure script options used when building <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG>. There are a few main
1132 options whose effects are visible to the applications developer using
1133 <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG>:
1136 The standard include for <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> is as noted in <STRONG>SYNOPSIS</STRONG>:
1138 <STRONG>#include</STRONG> <STRONG><curses.h></STRONG>
1140 This option is used to avoid filename conflicts when <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> is
1141 not the main implementation of curses of the computer. If <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG>
1142 is installed disabling overwrite, it puts its headers in a subdi-
1145 <STRONG>#include</STRONG> <STRONG><ncurses/curses.h></STRONG>
1147 It also omits a symbolic link which would allow you to use
1148 <STRONG>-lcurses</STRONG> to build executables.
1151 The configure script renames the library and (if the <STRONG>--dis-</STRONG>
1152 <STRONG>able-overwrite</STRONG> option is used) puts the header files in a differ-
1153 ent subdirectory. All of the library names have a "w" appended to
1154 them, i.e., instead of
1156 <STRONG>-lncurses</STRONG>
1160 <STRONG>-lncursesw</STRONG>
1162 You must also enable the wide-character features in the header
1163 file when compiling for the wide-character library to use the
1164 extended (wide-character) functions. The symbol which enables
1165 these features has changed since XSI Curses, Issue 4:
1167 <STRONG>o</STRONG> Originally, the wide-character feature required the symbol
1168 <STRONG>_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED</STRONG> but that was only valid for XPG4
1171 <STRONG>o</STRONG> Later, that was deemed conflicting with <STRONG>_XOPEN_SOURCE</STRONG> defined
1174 <STRONG>o</STRONG> As of mid-2018, none of the features in this implementation
1175 require a <STRONG>_XOPEN_SOURCE</STRONG> feature greater than 600. However,
1176 X/Open Curses, Issue 7 (2009) recommends defining it to 700.
1178 <STRONG>o</STRONG> Alternatively, you can enable the feature by defining
1179 <STRONG>NCURSES_WIDECHAR</STRONG> with the caveat that some other header file
1180 than <STRONG>curses.h</STRONG> may require a specific value for <STRONG>_XOPEN_SOURCE</STRONG>
1181 (or a system-specific symbol).
1183 The <STRONG>curses.h</STRONG> file which is installed for the wide-character
1184 library is designed to be compatible with the normal library's
1185 header. Only the size of the <STRONG>WINDOW</STRONG> structure differs, and very
1186 few applications require more than a pointer to <STRONG>WINDOW</STRONG>s.
1188 If the headers are installed allowing overwrite, the wide-charac-
1189 ter library's headers should be installed last, to allow applica-
1190 tions to be built using either library from the same set of head-
1194 The configure script renames the library. All of the library
1195 names have a "t" appended to them (before any "w" added by
1196 <STRONG>--enable-widec</STRONG>).
1198 The global variables such as <STRONG>LINES</STRONG> are replaced by macros to allow
1199 read-only access. At the same time, setter-functions are provided
1200 to set these values. Some applications (very few) may require
1201 changes to work with this convention.
1210 The shared and normal (static) library names differ by their suf-
1211 fixes, e.g., <STRONG>libncurses.so</STRONG> and <STRONG>libncurses.a</STRONG>. The debug and pro-
1212 filing libraries add a "_g" and a "_p" to the root names respec-
1213 tively, e.g., <STRONG>libncurses_g.a</STRONG> and <STRONG>libncurses_p.a</STRONG>.
1216 The <STRONG>trace</STRONG> function normally resides in the debug library, but it
1217 is sometimes useful to configure this in the shared library. Con-
1218 figure scripts should check for the function's existence rather
1219 than assuming it is always in the debug library.

1238 code cannot find a terminfo entry corresponding to <STRONG>TERM</STRONG>. Use of this
1239 feature is not recommended, as it essentially includes an entire term-
1240 cap compiler in the <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> startup code, at significant cost in core

1250 configured with a <STRONG>SIGWINCH</STRONG> handler.
1252 The <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> library extends the fixed set of function key capabilities
1253 of terminals by allowing the application designer to define additional
1254 key sequences at runtime. See the <STRONG><A HREF="define_key.3x.html">define_key(3x)</A></STRONG> <STRONG><A HREF="key_defined.3x.html">key_defined(3x)</A></STRONG>, and

1257 The <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> library can exploit the capabilities of terminals which
1258 implement the ISO-6429 SGR 39 and SGR 49 controls, which allow an
1259 application to reset the terminal to its original foreground and back-
1260 ground colors. From the users' perspective, the application is able to
1261 draw colored text on a background whose color is set independently,
1262 providing better control over color contrasts. See the <STRONG>default_col-</STRONG>
1263 <STRONG><A HREF="default_colors.3x.html">ors(3x)</A></STRONG> manual page for details.

1272 Curses. The EXTENDED XSI Curses functionality (including color sup-
1275 A small number of local differences (that is, individual differences
1276 between the XSI Curses and <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> calls) are described in <STRONG>PORTABILITY</STRONG>
1277 sections of the library man pages.
1279 Unlike other implementations, this one checks parameters such as point-
1280 ers to WINDOW structures to ensure they are not null. The main reason
1281 for providing this behavior is to guard against programmer error. The
1282 standard interface does not provide a way for the library to tell an
1283 application which of several possible errors were detected. Relying on
1284 this (or some other) extension will adversely affect the portability of
1285 curses applications.

1304 See the <STRONG><A HREF="wresize.3x.html">wresize(3x)</A></STRONG> manual page for details.
1306 <STRONG>o</STRONG> The WINDOW structure's internal details can be hidden from applica-

1310 <STRONG>o</STRONG> This implementation can be configured to provide rudimentary sup-
1311 port for multi-threaded applications. See <STRONG><A HREF="curs_threads.3x.html">curs_threads(3x)</A></STRONG> for

1320 tty driver. In this implementation, all padding is done by sending NUL
1321 bytes. This method is slightly more expensive, but narrows the inter-
1322 face to the UNIX kernel significantly and increases the package's
1323 portability correspondingly.
