SYNOPSIS

        #include <curses.h>
 
-       int mcprint(char *data, int len);
+       int mcprint(char *data, int len);

DESCRIPTION

-       This  function  uses the mc5p or mc4 and mc5 capabilities,
-       if they are present, to  ship  given  data  to  a  printer
-       attached to the terminal.
-
-       Note  that  the mcprint code has no way to do flow control
-       with the printer or to know how  much  buffering  it  has.
-       Your  application  is  responsible for keeping the rate of
-       writes to the printer below its continuous throughput rate
-       (typically  about  half  of its nominal cps rating).  Dot-
-       matrix printers and 6-page-per-minute lasers can typically
-       handle  80cps,  so a good conservative rule of thumb is to

RETURN VALUE

-       The mcprint function returns ERR if  the  write  operation
-       aborted for some reason.  In this case, errno will contain
-       either an error associated with write(2)  or  one  of  the

PORTABILITY

-       The  mcprint call was designed for ncurses(3x), and is not
-       found in SVr4 curses, 4.4BSD curses, or any other previous
-       version of curses.
