.SH DESCRIPTION
The \fBncurses\fP library provides several functions which let an application
An application must apply these to each window, if the same behavior
is needed.
.\"
-.SS cbreak
+.SS cbreak/nocbreak
Normally, the tty driver buffers typed characters until a newline or carriage
return is typed.
The \fBcbreak\fR routine disables line buffering and
.SS meta
.PP
Initially, whether the terminal returns 7 or 8 significant bits on
-input depends on the control mode of the tty driver [see termio(7)].
+input depends on the control mode of the tty driver [see \fBtermios\fP(3)].
To force 8 bits to be returned, invoke \fBmeta\fR(\fIwin\fR,
\fBTRUE\fR); this is equivalent, under POSIX, to setting the CS8 flag
on the terminal.
\fBTRUE\fR) is called and \fBrmm\fR is sent when \fBmeta\fR(\fIwin\fR,
\fBFALSE\fR) is called.
.\"
+.SS nl/nonl
+.PP
+The \fBnl\fR and \fBnonl\fR routines control whether the underlying display
+device translates the return key into newline on input.
+.\"
.SS nodelay
.PP
The \fBnodelay\fR option causes \fBgetch\fR to be a non-blocking call.
If no input is ready, \fBgetch\fR returns \fBERR\fR.
If disabled
(\fIbf\fR is \fBFALSE\fR), \fBgetch\fR waits until a key is pressed.
+.SS notimeout
.PP
-While interpreting an input escape sequence, \fBwgetch\fR(3X) sets a timer
+When interpreting an escape sequence, \fBwgetch\fR(3X) sets a timer
while waiting for the next character.
If \fBnotimeout(\fR\fIwin\fR,
\fBTRUE\fR) is called, then \fBwgetch\fR does not set a timer.
the BREAK key depends on other bits in the tty driver that are not set by
\fBcurses\fR.
.\"
-.SS noqiflush
+.SS qiflush/noqiflush
.PP
When the \fBnoqiflush\fR routine is used, normal flush of input and
output queues associated with the \fBINTR\fR, \fBQUIT\fR and
-\fBSUSP\fR characters will not be done [see termio(7)].
+\fBSUSP\fR characters will not be done [see \fBtermios\fP(3)].
When
\fBqiflush\fR is called, the queues will be flushed when these control
characters are read.
BSD curses differed from this slightly; it
left the echo bit on at initialization, but the BSD \fBraw\fR call turned it
off as a side-effect.
-For best portability, set echo or noecho explicitly
+For best portability, set \fBecho \fPor \fBnoecho\fP explicitly
just after initialization, even if your program remains in cooked mode.
.PP
+The XSI Curses standard is ambiguous on the question of whether \fBraw\fR
+should disable the CRLF translations controlled by \fBnl\fR and \fBnonl\fR.
+BSD curses did turn off these translations; AT&T curses (at least as late as
+SVr1) did not.
+We chose to do so, on the theory that a programmer requesting
+raw input wants a clean (ideally 8-bit clean) connection that the operating
+system will not alter.
+.PP
When \fBkeypad\fP is first enabled,
ncurses loads the key-definitions for the current terminal description.
If the terminal description includes extended string capabilities,
key definition,
the later definition is the one used.

.PP
The \fBnoraw\fR and \fBnocbreak\fR calls follow historical practice in that
-they attempt to restore to normal (\*(``cooked\*('') mode from raw and cbreak modes
-respectively.

Mixing raw/noraw and cbreak/nocbreak calls leads to tty driver
control states that are hard to predict or understand; it is not recommended.
