-<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
- These low-level routines must be called by programs that
- have to deal directly with the <STRONG>terminfo</STRONG> database to handle
- certain terminal capabilities, such as programming func-
- tion keys. For all other functionality, <STRONG>curses</STRONG> routines
- are more suitable and their use is recommended.
-
- <STRONG>Initialization</STRONG>
- Initially, <STRONG>setupterm</STRONG> should be called. Note that <STRONG>se-</STRONG>
- <STRONG>tupterm</STRONG> is automatically called by <STRONG>initscr</STRONG> and <STRONG>newterm</STRONG>.
- This defines the set of terminal-dependent variables
- [listed in <STRONG><A HREF="terminfo.5.html">terminfo(5)</A></STRONG>].
-
- Each initialization routine provides applications with the
- terminal capabilities either directly (via header defini-
- tions), or by special functions. The header files <STRONG>curs-</STRONG>
- <STRONG>es.h</STRONG> and <STRONG>term.h</STRONG> should be included (in this order) to get
- the definitions for these strings, numbers, and flags.
-
- The <STRONG>terminfo</STRONG> variables <STRONG>lines</STRONG> and <STRONG>columns</STRONG> are initialized
- by <STRONG>setupterm</STRONG> as follows:
-
- <STRONG>o</STRONG> If <STRONG>use_env(FALSE)</STRONG> has been called, values for <STRONG>lines</STRONG>
- and <STRONG>columns</STRONG> specified in <STRONG>terminfo</STRONG> are used.
-
- <STRONG>o</STRONG> Otherwise, if the environment variables <STRONG>LINES</STRONG> and <STRONG>COL-</STRONG>
- <STRONG>UMNS</STRONG> exist, their values are used. If these environ-
- ment variables do not exist and the program is running
- in a window, the current window size is used. Other-
- wise, if the environment variables do not exist, the
- values for <STRONG>lines</STRONG> and <STRONG>columns</STRONG> specified in the <STRONG>terminfo</STRONG>
- database are used.
-
- Parameterized strings should be passed through <STRONG>tparm</STRONG> to
- instantiate them. All <STRONG>terminfo</STRONG> strings [including the
- output of <STRONG>tparm</STRONG>] should be printed with <STRONG>tputs</STRONG> or <STRONG>putp</STRONG>.
- Call <STRONG>reset_shell_mode</STRONG> to restore the tty modes before ex-
- iting [see <STRONG><A HREF="curs_kernel.3x.html">curs_kernel(3x)</A></STRONG>].

+ modes before exiting [see <STRONG><A HREF="curs_kernel.3x.html">curs_kernel(3x)</A></STRONG>].
Programs which use cursor addressing should
Programs which execute shell subprocesses should
- <STRONG>o</STRONG> call <STRONG>reset_shell_mode</STRONG> and output <STRONG>exit_ca_mode</STRONG> before
- the shell is called and
+ <STRONG>o</STRONG> call <STRONG>reset_shell_mode</STRONG> and output <STRONG>exit_ca_mode</STRONG> before the shell is
+ called and
+
+ <STRONG>o</STRONG> output <STRONG>enter_ca_mode</STRONG> and call <STRONG>reset_prog_mode</STRONG> after returning from
+ the shell.
+
+ The <STRONG>setupterm</STRONG> routine reads in the <STRONG>terminfo</STRONG> database, initializing the
+ <STRONG>terminfo</STRONG> structures, but does not set up the output virtualization
+ structures used by <STRONG>curses</STRONG>. These are its parameters:
- <STRONG>o</STRONG> output <STRONG>enter_ca_mode</STRONG> and call <STRONG>reset_prog_mode</STRONG> after
- returning from the shell.
+ <EM>term</EM> is the terminal type, a character string. If <EM>term</EM> is null, the
+ environment variable <STRONG>TERM</STRONG> is used.
- The <STRONG>setupterm</STRONG> routine reads in the <STRONG>terminfo</STRONG> database, ini-
- tializing the <STRONG>terminfo</STRONG> structures, but does not set up the
- output virtualization structures used by <STRONG>curses</STRONG>. The ter-
- minal type is the character string <EM>term</EM>; if <EM>term</EM> is null,
- the environment variable <STRONG>TERM</STRONG> is used. All output is to
- file descriptor <STRONG>fildes</STRONG> which is initialized for output.
- If <EM>errret</EM> is not null, then <STRONG>setupterm</STRONG> returns <STRONG>OK</STRONG> or <STRONG>ERR</STRONG>
- and stores a status value in the integer pointed to by <EM>er-</EM>
- <EM>rret</EM>. A return value of <STRONG>OK</STRONG> combined with status of <STRONG>1</STRONG> in
- <EM>errret</EM> is normal. If <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> is returned, examine <EM>errret</EM>:
+ <EM>filedes</EM>
+ is the file descriptor used for all output.
- <STRONG>1</STRONG> means that the terminal is hardcopy, cannot be used
- for curses applications.
+ <EM>errret</EM>
+ points to an optional location where an error status can be re-
+ turned to the caller. If <EM>errret</EM> is not null, then <STRONG>setupterm</STRONG>
+ returns <STRONG>OK</STRONG> or <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> and stores a status value in the integer
+ pointed to by <EM>errret</EM>. A return value of <STRONG>OK</STRONG> combined with sta-
+ tus of <STRONG>1</STRONG> in <EM>errret</EM> is normal.
- <STRONG>setupterm</STRONG> determines if the entry is a hardcopy type
- by checking the <EM>hc</EM> (<EM>hardcopy</EM>) capability.
+ If <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> is returned, examine <EM>errret</EM>:
- <STRONG>0</STRONG> means that the terminal could not be found, or that
- it is a generic type, having too little information
- for curses applications to run.
+ <STRONG>1</STRONG> means that the terminal is hardcopy, cannot be used for
+ curses applications.
- <STRONG>setupterm</STRONG> determines if the entry is a generic type
- by checking the <EM>gn</EM> (<EM>generic</EM>) capability.
+ <STRONG>setupterm</STRONG> determines if the entry is a hardcopy type by
+ checking the <STRONG>hc</STRONG> (<STRONG>hardcopy</STRONG>) capability.
- <STRONG>-1</STRONG> means that the <STRONG>terminfo</STRONG> database could not be found.
+ <STRONG>0</STRONG> means that the terminal could not be found, or that it is
+ a generic type, having too little information for curses
+ applications to run.
- If <EM>errret</EM> is null, <STRONG>setupterm</STRONG> prints an error message upon
- finding an error and exits. Thus, the simplest call is:
+ <STRONG>setupterm</STRONG> determines if the entry is a generic type by
+ checking the <STRONG>gn</STRONG> (<STRONG>generic</STRONG>) capability.
- <STRONG>setupterm((char</STRONG> <STRONG>*)0,</STRONG> <STRONG>1,</STRONG> <STRONG>(int</STRONG> <STRONG>*)0);</STRONG>,
+ <STRONG>-1</STRONG> means that the <STRONG>terminfo</STRONG> database could not be found.
- which uses all the defaults and sends the output to <STRONG>std-</STRONG>
- <STRONG>out</STRONG>.
+ If <EM>errret</EM> is null, <STRONG>setupterm</STRONG> prints an error message upon find-
+ ing an error and exits. Thus, the simplest call is:
+
+ <STRONG>setupterm((char</STRONG> <STRONG>*)0,</STRONG> <STRONG>1,</STRONG> <STRONG>(int</STRONG> <STRONG>*)0);</STRONG>,
+
+ which uses all the defaults and sends the output to <STRONG>stdout</STRONG>.
The <STRONG>setterm</STRONG> routine was replaced by <STRONG>setupterm</STRONG>. The call:
<STRONG>setupterm(</STRONG><EM>term</EM><STRONG>,</STRONG> <STRONG>1,</STRONG> <STRONG>(int</STRONG> <STRONG>*)0)</STRONG>
- provides the same functionality as <STRONG>setterm(</STRONG><EM>term</EM><STRONG>)</STRONG>. The
- <STRONG>setterm</STRONG> routine is provided for BSD compatibility, and is
- not recommended for new programs.
-
- <STRONG>The</STRONG> <STRONG>Terminal</STRONG> <STRONG>State</STRONG>
- The <STRONG>setupterm</STRONG> routine stores its information about the
- terminal in a <STRONG>TERMINAL</STRONG> structure pointed to by the global
- variable <STRONG>cur_term</STRONG>. If it detects an error, or decides
- that the terminal is unsuitable (hardcopy or generic), it
- discards this information, making it not available to ap-
- plications.
-
- If <STRONG>setupterm</STRONG> is called repeatedly for the same terminal
- type, it will reuse the information. It maintains only
- one copy of a given terminal's capabilities in memory. If
- it is called for different terminal types, <STRONG>setupterm</STRONG> allo-
- cates new storage for each set of terminal capabilities.
-
- The <STRONG>set_curterm</STRONG> routine sets <STRONG>cur_term</STRONG> to <EM>nterm</EM>, and makes
- all of the <STRONG>terminfo</STRONG> boolean, numeric, and string variables
- use the values from <EM>nterm</EM>. It returns the old value of
- <STRONG>cur_term</STRONG>.
-
- The <STRONG>del_curterm</STRONG> routine frees the space pointed to by
- <EM>oterm</EM> and makes it available for further use. If <EM>oterm</EM> is
- the same as <STRONG>cur_term</STRONG>, references to any of the <STRONG>terminfo</STRONG>
- boolean, numeric, and string variables thereafter may re-
- fer to invalid memory locations until another <STRONG>setupterm</STRONG>
- has been called.
-
- The <STRONG>restartterm</STRONG> routine is similar to <STRONG>setupterm</STRONG> and
- <STRONG>initscr</STRONG>, except that it is called after restoring memory
- to a previous state (for example, when reloading a game
- saved as a core image dump). <STRONG>restartterm</STRONG> assumes that the
- windows and the input and output options are the same as
- when memory was saved, but the terminal type and baud rate
- may be different. Accordingly, <STRONG>restartterm</STRONG> saves various
- tty state bits, calls <STRONG>setupterm</STRONG>, and then restores the
- bits.
-
- <STRONG>Formatting</STRONG> <STRONG>Output</STRONG>
- The <STRONG>tparm</STRONG> routine instantiates the string <EM>str</EM> with parame-
- ters <EM>pi</EM>. A pointer is returned to the result of <EM>str</EM> with
- the parameters applied.
-
- <STRONG>tiparm</STRONG> is a newer form of <STRONG>tparm</STRONG> which uses <EM><stdarg.h></EM>
- rather than a fixed-parameter list. Its numeric parame-
- ters are integers (int) rather than longs.
-
- <STRONG>Output</STRONG> <STRONG>Functions</STRONG>
- The <STRONG>tputs</STRONG> routine applies padding information to the
- string <EM>str</EM> and outputs it. The <EM>str</EM> must be a terminfo
- string variable or the return value from <STRONG>tparm</STRONG>, <STRONG>tgetstr</STRONG>,
- or <STRONG>tgoto</STRONG>. <EM>affcnt</EM> is the number of lines affected, or 1 if
- not applicable. <EM>putc</EM> is a <STRONG>putchar</STRONG>-like routine to which
- the characters are passed, one at a time.
-
- The <STRONG>putp</STRONG> routine calls <STRONG>tputs(</STRONG><EM>str</EM><STRONG>,</STRONG> <STRONG>1,</STRONG> <STRONG>putchar)</STRONG>. Note that
- the output of <STRONG>putp</STRONG> always goes to <STRONG>stdout</STRONG>, not to the
- <EM>fildes</EM> specified in <STRONG>setupterm</STRONG>.
-
- The <STRONG>vidputs</STRONG> routine displays the string on the terminal in
- the video attribute mode <EM>attrs</EM>, which is any combination
- of the attributes listed in <STRONG><A HREF="ncurses.3x.html">curses(3x)</A></STRONG>. The characters
- are passed to the <STRONG>putchar</STRONG>-like routine <EM>putc</EM>.
-
- The <STRONG>vidattr</STRONG> routine is like the <STRONG>vidputs</STRONG> routine, except
- that it outputs through <STRONG>putchar</STRONG>.
-
- The <STRONG>vid_attr</STRONG> and <STRONG>vid_puts</STRONG> routines correspond to vidattr
- and vidputs, respectively. They use a set of arguments
- for representing the video attributes plus color, i.e.,
- one of type attr_t for the attributes and one of short for
- the color_pair number. The <STRONG>vid_attr</STRONG> and <STRONG>vid_puts</STRONG> routines
- are designed to use the attribute constants with the <EM>WA</EM><STRONG>_</STRONG>
- prefix. The opts argument is reserved for future use.
- Currently, applications must provide a null pointer for
- that argument.
-
- The <STRONG>mvcur</STRONG> routine provides low-level cursor motion. It
- takes effect immediately (rather than at the next re-
- fresh).
-
- <STRONG>Terminal</STRONG> <STRONG>Capability</STRONG> <STRONG>Functions</STRONG>
- The <STRONG>tigetflag</STRONG>, <STRONG>tigetnum</STRONG> and <STRONG>tigetstr</STRONG> routines return the
- value of the capability corresponding to the <STRONG>terminfo</STRONG> <EM>cap-</EM>
- <EM>name</EM> passed to them, such as <STRONG>xenl</STRONG>. The <EM>capname</EM> for each
- capability is given in the table column entitled <EM>capname</EM>
- code in the capabilities section of <STRONG><A HREF="terminfo.5.html">terminfo(5)</A></STRONG>.

+ grams.

+ fixed-parameter list. Its numeric parameters are integers (int) rather
+ than longs.
+
+
+</PRE><H3><a name="h3-Output-Functions">Output Functions</a></H3><PRE>
+ The <STRONG>tputs</STRONG> routine applies padding information to the string <EM>str</EM> and
+ outputs it:
+
+ <STRONG>o</STRONG> The <EM>str</EM> must be a terminfo string variable or the return value from
+ <STRONG>tparm</STRONG>, <STRONG>tgetstr</STRONG>, or <STRONG>tgoto</STRONG>.
+
+ <STRONG>o</STRONG> <EM>affcnt</EM> is the number of lines affected, or 1 if not applicable.
+
+ <STRONG>o</STRONG> <EM>putc</EM> is a <STRONG>putchar</STRONG>-like routine to which the characters are passed,
+ one at a time.
+
+ The <STRONG>putp</STRONG> routine calls <STRONG>tputs(</STRONG><EM>str</EM><STRONG>,</STRONG> <STRONG>1,</STRONG> <STRONG>putchar)</STRONG>. The output of <STRONG>putp</STRONG> al-
+ ways goes to <STRONG>stdout</STRONG>, rather than the <EM>filedes</EM> specified in <STRONG>setupterm</STRONG>.
+
+ The <STRONG>vidputs</STRONG> routine displays the string on the terminal in the video
+ attribute mode <EM>attrs</EM>, which is any combination of the attributes listed
+ in <STRONG><A HREF="ncurses.3x.html">curses(3x)</A></STRONG>. The characters are passed to the <STRONG>putchar</STRONG>-like routine
+ <EM>putc</EM>.
+
+ The <STRONG>vidattr</STRONG> routine is like the <STRONG>vidputs</STRONG> routine, except that it outputs
+ through <STRONG>putchar</STRONG>.
+
+ The <STRONG>vid_attr</STRONG> and <STRONG>vid_puts</STRONG> routines correspond to vidattr and vidputs,
+ respectively. They use a set of arguments for representing the video
+ attributes plus color, i.e.,
+
+ <STRONG>o</STRONG> <EM>attrs</EM> of type <STRONG>attr_t</STRONG> for the attributes and
+
+ <STRONG>o</STRONG> <EM>pair</EM> of type <STRONG>short</STRONG> for the color-pair number.
+
+ The <STRONG>vid_attr</STRONG> and <STRONG>vid_puts</STRONG> routines are designed to use the attribute
+ constants with the <EM>WA</EM><STRONG>_</STRONG> prefix.
+
+ X/Open Curses reserves the <EM>opts</EM> argument for future use, saying that
+ applications must provide a null pointer for that argument. As an ex-
+ tension, this implementation allows <EM>opts</EM> to be used as a pointer to
+ <STRONG>int</STRONG>, which overrides the <EM>pair</EM> (<STRONG>short</STRONG>) argument.
+
+ The <STRONG>mvcur</STRONG> routine provides low-level cursor motion. It takes effect
+ immediately (rather than at the next refresh).
+

+</PRE><H3><a name="h3-Terminal-Capability-Functions">Terminal Capability Functions</a></H3><PRE>
+ The <STRONG>tigetflag</STRONG>, <STRONG>tigetnum</STRONG> and <STRONG>tigetstr</STRONG> routines return the value of the
+ capability corresponding to the <STRONG>terminfo</STRONG> <EM>capname</EM> passed to them, such
+ as <STRONG>xenl</STRONG>. The <EM>capname</EM> for each capability is given in the table column
+ entitled <EM>capname</EM> code in the capabilities section of <STRONG><A HREF="terminfo.5.html">terminfo(5)</A></STRONG>.
These routines return special values to denote errors.
<STRONG>-1</STRONG> if <EM>capname</EM> is not a boolean capability, or
- <STRONG>0</STRONG> if it is canceled or absent from the terminal de-
- scription.
+ <STRONG>0</STRONG> if it is canceled or absent from the terminal description.
The <STRONG>tigetnum</STRONG> routine returns

+ <STRONG>-1</STRONG> if it is canceled or absent from the terminal description.
