+The \fBbaudrate\fR routine returns the output speed of the terminal.
+The
number returned is in bits per second, for example \fB9600\fR, and is an
integer.

The \fBerasechar\fR routine returns the user's current erase character.

in the location referenced by \fIch\fR.
If no erase character has been defined, the routine fails
and the location referenced by \fIch\fR is not changed.
+.SS has_is, has_il
.PP
The \fBhas_ic\fR routine is true if the terminal has insert- and delete-
character capabilities.

The \fBhas_il\fR routine is true if the terminal has insert- and delete-line

+This might
be used to determine if it would be appropriate to turn on physical
scrolling using \fBscrollok\fR.
+.SS killchar, killwchar
.PP
The \fBkillchar\fR routine returns the user's current line kill character.
.PP
in the location referenced by \fIch\fR.
If no line-kill character has been defined,
the routine fails and the location referenced by \fIch\fR is not changed.
+.SS longname
.PP
The \fBlongname\fR routine returns a pointer to a static area
-containing a verbose description of the current terminal. The maximum
-length of a verbose description is 128 characters. It is defined only
+containing a verbose description of the current terminal.
+The maximum
+length of a verbose description is 128 characters.
+It is defined only
after the call to \fBinitscr\fR or \fBnewterm\fR. The area is
overwritten by each call to \fBnewterm\fR and is not restored by
\fBset_term\fR, so the value should be saved between calls to
\fBnewterm\fR if \fBlongname\fR is going to be used with multiple
terminals.
+.SS termattrs, term_attrs
.PP
-If a given terminal doesn't support a video attribute that an

application program is trying to use, \fBcurses\fR may substitute a
different video attribute for it.

This information is useful when a \fBcurses\fR program
needs complete control over the appearance of the screen.
+.SS termname
.PP
The \fBtermname\fR routine returns the terminal name used by \fBsetupterm\fR.
