DESCRIPTION

-       This  implementation can be configured to provide a set of
-       functions which improve the  ability  to  manage  multiple
-       screens.  This feature can be added to any of the configu-
-       rations supported by  ncurses;  it  adds  new  entrypoints
-       without changing the meaning of any of the existing ones.

+       which improve the ability to manage multiple screens.  This feature can
+       be added to any of the configurations supported by ncurses; it adds new
+       entrypoints without changing the meaning of any of the existing ones.

IMPROVED FUNCTIONS

-       Most  of  the functions are new versions of existing func-
-       tions.  A parameter is added at the front of the parameter
-       list.  It is a SCREEN pointer.

+       eter  is  added  at  the  front  of the parameter list.  It is a SCREEN
+       pointer.
 
-       The  existing  functions all use the current screen, which
-       is a static variable.   The  extended  functions  use  the
-       specified screen, thereby reducing the number of variables
-       which must be modified to update multiple screens.

+       ducing the number of variables which must be modified to update  multi-
+       ple screens.

NEW FUNCTIONS

        Here are the new functions:
 
        ceiling_panel
-            this returns a pointer to the topmost  panel  in  the
-            given screen.
+            this returns a pointer to the topmost panel in the given screen.
 
        ground_panel
-            this  returns  a  pointer  to the lowest panel in the
-            given screen.
+            this returns a pointer to the lowest panel in the given screen.
 
        new_prescr
-            when creating a new screen, the library  uses  static
-            variables   which   have   been   preset,   e.g.,  by
-            use_env(3x), filter(3x), etc.  With the screen-point-
-            er extension, there are situations where it must cre-
-            ate a current screen before  the  unextended  library
-            does.   The new_prescr function is used internally to
-            handle these cases.  It is also provided as an entry-
-            point  to allow applications to customize the library
-            initialization.

NOTES

        This extension introduces some new names:
 
        NCURSES_SP_FUNCS
-            This is set to the library  patch-level  number.   In
-            the  unextended library, this is zero (0), to make it
-            useful for checking if the extension is provided.

+            library, this is zero (0), to make it useful for checking  if  the
+            extension is provided.
 
        NCURSES_SP_NAME
-            The new functions are named using  the  macro  NCURS-
-            ES_SP_NAME,  which  hides  the actual implementation.
-            Currently this adds a "_sp" suffix to the name of the
-            unextended  function.   This  manual page indexes the
-            extensions showing the full name.  However the proper
-            usage  of  these functions uses the macro, to provide
-            for the possibility of changing the naming convention
-            for specific library configurations.

        NCURSES_SP_OUTC
-            This  is  a  new  function-pointer type to use in the
-            screen-pointer functions  where  an  NCURSES_OUTC  is
-            used in the unextended library.

-            This  is  a  function-pointer type used for the cases
-            where a function  passes  characters  to  the  output
-            stream, e.g., vidputs(3x).

+            tion passes characters to the output stream, e.g., vidputs(3x).
