.SH DESCRIPTION
These functions provide an interface to mouse events from
\fBncurses\fR(3X).
Mouse events are represented by \fBKEY_MOUSE\fR
-pseudo-key values in the \fBwgetch\fR input stream.

+.SS mousemask
.PP
To make mouse events visible, use the \fBmousemask\fR function.
This will set
As a side effect, setting a zero mousemask may turn off the mouse pointer;
setting a nonzero mask may turn it on.
Whether this happens is device-dependent.

.PP
-Once a class of mouse events have been made visible in a window,
+Once a class of mouse events has been made visible in a window,
calling the \fBwgetch\fR function on that window may return
\fBKEY_MOUSE\fR as an indicator that a mouse event has been queued.
To read the event data and pop the event off the queue, call
coordinates.
The returned state mask will have exactly one bit set to
indicate the event type.
+The corresponding data in the queue is marked invalid.
+A subsequent call to \fBgetmouse\fP will retrieve the next older
+item from the queue.
+.SS ungetmouse
.PP
The \fBungetmouse\fR function behaves analogously to \fBungetch\fR.
It pushes
a \fBKEY_MOUSE\fR event onto the input queue, and associates with that event
the given state data and screen-relative character-cell coordinates.
+.SS wenclose
.PP
The \fBwenclose\fR function tests whether a given pair of screen-relative
-character-cell coordinates is enclosed by a given window, returning TRUE
-if it is and FALSE otherwise.
+character-cell coordinates is enclosed by a given window, returning \fBTRUE\fP
+if it is and \fBFALSE\fP otherwise.
It is useful for determining what subset of
the screen windows enclose the location of a mouse event.
+.SS wmouse_trafo
.PP
-The \fBwmouse_trafo\fR function transforms a given pair of coordinates from
-stdscr-relative coordinates to screen-relative coordinates or vice versa.
-Please remember, that stdscr-relative coordinates are not always identical
-to screen-relative coordinates due to the mechanism to reserve lines on top
-or bottom of the screen for other purposes (ripoff() call, see also slk_...
-functions).
+The \fBwmouse_trafo\fR function transforms a given pair of coordinates
+from stdscr-relative coordinates
+to coordinates relative to the given window or vice versa.
+The resulting stdscr-relative coordinates are not always identical
+to window-relative coordinates due to the mechanism to reserve lines on top
+or bottom of the screen for other purposes
+(see the \fBripoffline\fP and \fBslk_init\fR(3X) calls, for example).
+.bP
If the parameter \fBto_screen\fR is \fBTRUE\fR, the pointers
-\fBpY, pX\fR must reference the coordinates of a location inside the window
-\fBwin\fR.
-They are converted to screen-relative coordinates and returned
+\fBpY, pX\fR must reference the coordinates of a location
+inside the window \fBwin\fR.
+They are converted to window-relative coordinates and returned
through the pointers.
If the conversion was successful, the function returns \fBTRUE\fR.
+.bP
If one of the parameters was NULL or the location is
not inside the window, \fBFALSE\fR is returned.
+.bP
If \fBto_screen\fR is
-\fBFALSE\fR, the pointers \fBpY, pX\fR must reference screen-relative
+\fBFALSE\fR, the pointers \fBpY, pX\fR must reference window-relative
coordinates.
They are converted to stdscr-relative coordinates if the
window \fBwin\fR encloses this point.
In this case the function returns \fBTRUE\fR.
+.bP
If one of the parameters is NULL or the point is not inside the
window, \fBFALSE\fR is returned.
-Please notice, that the referenced coordinates
+The referenced coordinates
are only replaced by the converted coordinates if the transformation was
successful.
+.SS mouse_trafo
+.PP
+The \fBmouse_trafo\fR function performs the same translation
+as \fBwmouse_trafo\fR,
+using stdscr for \fBwin\fR.
+.SS mouseinterval
.PP
The \fBmouseinterval\fR function sets the maximum time (in thousands of a
second) that can elapse between press and release events for them to
be recognized as a click.
-Use \fBmouseinterval(-1)\fR to disable click resolution.
+Use \fBmouseinterval(0)\fR to disable click resolution.
This function returns the previous interval value.
+Use \fBmouseinterval(\-1)\fR to obtain the interval without altering it.
The default is one sixth of a second.
+.SS has_mouse
+.PP
+The \fBhas_mouse\fP function returns \fBTRUE\fP if the mouse driver has been
+successfully initialized.
.PP
Note that mouse events will be ignored when input is in cooked mode, and will
cause an error beep when cooked mode is being simulated in a window by a
function such as \fBgetstr\fR that expects a linefeed for input-loop
termination.
.SH RETURN VALUE
-\fBgetmouse\fR, \fBungetmouse\fR and \fBmouseinterval\fR
+\fBgetmouse\fR and \fBungetmouse\fR
return the integer \fBERR\fR upon failure or \fBOK\fR

+.RS 3
+.TP 5
+\fBgetmouse\fP
+returns an error.
+.bP
+If no mouse driver was initialized, or
+if the mask parameter is zero,
+.bP
+It also returns an error if no more events remain in the queue.
+.TP 5
+\fBungetmouse\fP
+returns an error if the FIFO is full.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fBmousemask\fR
+returns the mask of reportable events.
+.PP
+\fBmouseinterval\fR
+returns the previous interval value, unless
+the terminal was not initialized.
+In that case, it returns the maximum interval value (166).
+.PP
\fBwenclose\fR and \fBwmouse_trafo\fR
are boolean functions returning \fBTRUE\fR or \fBFALSE\fR depending
on their test result.
These calls were designed for \fBncurses\fR(3X), and are not found in SVr4
curses, 4.4BSD curses, or any other previous version of curses.
.PP
+SVr4 curses had support for the mouse in a variant of \fBxterm\fP.
+It is mentioned in a few places, but with no supporting documentation:
+.bP
+the \*(``libcurses\*('' manual page lists functions for this feature
+which are prototyped in \fBcurses.h\fP:
+.NS
+extern int mouse_set(long int);
+extern int mouse_on(long int);
+extern int mouse_off(long int);
+extern int request_mouse_pos(void);
+extern int map_button(unsigned long);

+key_mouse kmous Km 0631, Mouse event has occurred
+mouse_info minfo Mi Mouse status information
+req_mouse_pos reqmp RQ Request mouse position report
+.NE
+.bP
+the interface made assumptions (as does ncurses) about the escape sequences
+sent to and received from the terminal.
+.IP
+For instance
+the SVr4 curses library used the \fBget_mouse\fP capability to tell the
+terminal which mouse button events it should send,
+passing the mouse-button bit-mask to the terminal.
+Also, it could ask the terminal
+where the mouse was using the \fBreq_mouse_pos\fP capability.
+.IP
+Those features required a terminal which had been modified to work with curses.
+They were not part of the X Consortium's xterm.
+.PP
+When developing the xterm mouse support for ncurses in September 1995,
+Eric Raymond was uninterested in using the same interface due to its
+lack of documentation.
+Later, in 1998, Mark Hesseling provided support in
+PDCurses 2.3 using the SVr4 interface.
+PDCurses, however, does not use video terminals,
+making it unnecessary to be concerned about compatibility with the
+escape sequences.
+.PP
The feature macro \fBNCURSES_MOUSE_VERSION\fR is provided so the preprocessor
-can be used to test whether these features are present (its value is 1).
+can be used to test whether these features are present.
If the interface is changed, the value of \fBNCURSES_MOUSE_VERSION\fR will be
incremented.
+These values for \fBNCURSES_MOUSE_VERSION\fR may be
+specified when configuring ncurses:
+.RS 3
+.TP 3
+1
+has definitions for reserved events.
+The mask uses 28 bits.
+.TP 3
+2
+adds definitions for button 5,
+removes the definitions for reserved events.
+The mask uses 29 bits.

+The \fIz\fP member in the event structure is not presently used.

for use with touch screens (which may be pressure-sensitive) or with
3D-mice/trackballs/power gloves.
+.PP
+The \fBALL_MOUSE_EVENTS\fP class does not include \fBREPORT_MOUSE_POSITION\fP.
+They are distinct.
+For example, in xterm,
+wheel/scrolling mice send position reports as a sequence of
+presses of buttons 4 or 5 without matching button-releases.
.SH BUGS
Mouse events under xterm will not in fact be ignored during cooked mode,
-if they have been enabled by \fBwmousemask\fR.
+if they have been enabled by \fBmousemask\fR.
Instead, the xterm mouse
report sequence will appear in the string read.
.PP
Mouse events under xterm will not be detected correctly in a window with
its keypad bit off, since they are interpreted as a variety of function key.
-Your terminfo description must have \fBkmous\fR set to "\\E[M" (the beginning
-of the response from xterm for mouse clicks).
+Your terminfo description should have \fBkmous\fR set to "\\E[M"
+(the beginning of the response from xterm for mouse clicks).
+Other values for \fBkmous\fR are permitted,
+but under the same assumption,
+i.e., it is the beginning of the response.
.PP
Because there are no standard terminal responses that would serve to identify
terminals which support the xterm mouse protocol, \fBncurses\fR assumes that
-if your $TERM environment variable contains "xterm",
+if your $TERM environment variable contains \*(``xterm\*('',
or \fBkmous\fR is defined in
the terminal description, then the terminal may send mouse events.
+The \fBkmous\fP capability is checked first, allowing the
+use of newer xterm mouse protocols.
