+<H2><a name="h2-DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</a></H2><PRE>
+ The <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> library provides several functions which let
+ an application change way input from the terminal is han-
+ dled. Some are global, applying to all windows. Others
+ apply only to a specific window. Window-specific settings
+ are not automatically applied to new or derived windows.
+ An application must apply these to each window, if the
+ same behavior is needed.
+
+
+</PRE>
+<H3><a name="h3-cbreak">cbreak</a></H3><PRE>
Normally, the tty driver buffers typed characters until a
newline or carriage return is typed. The <STRONG>cbreak</STRONG> routine
disables line buffering and erase/kill character-process-
rides <STRONG>raw</STRONG>. [See <STRONG><A HREF="curs_getch.3x.html">curs_getch(3x)</A></STRONG> for a discussion of how
these routines interact with <STRONG>echo</STRONG> and <STRONG>noecho</STRONG>.]
+
+</PRE>
+<H3><a name="h3-echo_noecho">echo/noecho</a></H3><PRE>
The <STRONG>echo</STRONG> and <STRONG>noecho</STRONG> routines control whether characters
typed by the user are echoed by <STRONG>getch</STRONG> as they are typed.
Echoing by the tty driver is always disabled, but initial-
[See <STRONG><A HREF="curs_getch.3x.html">curs_getch(3x)</A></STRONG> for a discussion of how these routines
interact with <STRONG>cbreak</STRONG> and <STRONG>nocbreak</STRONG>.]
+
+</PRE>
+<H3><a name="h3-halfdelay">halfdelay</a></H3><PRE>
The <STRONG>halfdelay</STRONG> routine is used for half-delay mode, which
is similar to <STRONG>cbreak</STRONG> mode in that characters typed by the
user are immediately available to the program. However,
must be a number between 1 and 255. Use <STRONG>nocbreak</STRONG> to leave
half-delay mode.
+
+</PRE>
+<H3><a name="h3-intrflush">intrflush</a></H3><PRE>
If the <STRONG>intrflush</STRONG> option is enabled, (<EM>bf</EM> is <STRONG>TRUE</STRONG>), when an
interrupt key is pressed on the keyboard (interrupt,
break, quit) all output in the tty driver queue will be
ited from the tty driver settings. The window argument is
ignored.
+
+</PRE>
+<H3><a name="h3-keypad">keypad</a></H3><PRE>
The <STRONG>keypad</STRONG> option enables the keypad of the user's termi-
nal. If enabled (<EM>bf</EM> is <STRONG>TRUE</STRONG>), the user can press a func-
tion key (such as an arrow key) and <STRONG>wgetch</STRONG> returns a sin-
turned on (made to transmit) and off (made to work local-
ly), turning on this option causes the terminal keypad to
be turned on when <STRONG>wgetch</STRONG> is called. The default value for

Initially, whether the terminal returns 7 or 8 significant
bits on input depends on the control mode of the tty driv-
- er [see <STRONG><A HREF="termio.7.html">termio(7)</A></STRONG>]. To force 8 bits to be returned, in-

voke <STRONG>meta</STRONG>(<EM>win</EM>, <STRONG>TRUE</STRONG>); this is equivalent, under POSIX, to
setting the CS8 flag on the terminal. To force 7 bits to
be returned, invoke <STRONG>meta</STRONG>(<EM>win</EM>, <STRONG>FALSE</STRONG>); this is equivalent,
<STRONG>meta</STRONG>(<EM>win</EM>, <STRONG>TRUE</STRONG>) is called and <STRONG>rmm</STRONG> is sent when <STRONG>meta</STRONG>(<EM>win</EM>,
<STRONG>FALSE</STRONG>) is called.
+
+</PRE>
+<H3><a name="h3-nodelay">nodelay</a></H3><PRE>
The <STRONG>nodelay</STRONG> option causes <STRONG>getch</STRONG> to be a non-blocking call.
If no input is ready, <STRONG>getch</STRONG> returns <STRONG>ERR</STRONG>. If disabled (<EM>bf</EM>
is <STRONG>FALSE</STRONG>), <STRONG>getch</STRONG> waits until a key is pressed.
tween sequences received from a function key and those
typed by a user.
+
+</PRE>
+<H3><a name="h3-raw_noraw">raw/noraw</a></H3><PRE>
The <STRONG>raw</STRONG> and <STRONG>noraw</STRONG> routines place the terminal into or out
of raw mode. Raw mode is similar to <STRONG>cbreak</STRONG> mode, in that
characters typed are immediately passed through to the us-
signal. The behavior of the BREAK key depends on other
bits in the tty driver that are not set by <STRONG>curses</STRONG>.
+
+</PRE>
+<H3><a name="h3-noqiflush">noqiflush</a></H3><PRE>
When the <STRONG>noqiflush</STRONG> routine is used, normal flush of input
and output queues associated with the <STRONG>INTR</STRONG>, <STRONG>QUIT</STRONG> and <STRONG>SUSP</STRONG>
- characters will not be done [see <STRONG><A HREF="termio.7.html">termio(7)</A></STRONG>]. When <STRONG>qiflush</STRONG>
+ characters will not be done [see <STRONG>termio(7)</STRONG>]. When <STRONG>qiflush</STRONG>
is called, the queues will be flushed when these control
characters are read. You may want to call <STRONG>noqiflush()</STRONG> in
a signal handler if you want output to continue as though
the interrupt had not occurred, after the handler exits.
+
+</PRE>
+<H3><a name="h3-timeout_wtimeout">timeout/wtimeout</a></H3><PRE>
The <STRONG>timeout</STRONG> and <STRONG>wtimeout</STRONG> routines set blocking or non-
blocking read for a given window. If <EM>delay</EM> is negative,
blocking read is used (i.e., waits indefinitely for in-
additional capability of being able to block for only <EM>de-</EM>
<EM>lay</EM> milliseconds (where <EM>delay</EM> is positive).

+ The <STRONG>curses</STRONG> library does "line-breakout optimization" by
looking for typeahead periodically while updating the
screen. If input is found, and it is coming from a tty,
the current update is postponed until <STRONG>refresh</STRONG> or <STRONG>doupdate</STRONG>
