In no-delay mode, if no input - is waiting, the value <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> is returned. In delay mode, the - program waits until the system passes text through to the - program. Depending on the setting of <STRONG>cbreak</STRONG>, this is - after one character (cbreak mode), or after the first new- - line (nocbreak mode). In half-delay mode, the program - waits until a character is typed or the specified timeout - has been reached. - - Unless <STRONG>noecho</STRONG> has been set, then the character will also - be echoed into the designated window according to the fol- - lowing rules: If the character is the current erase char- - acter, left arrow, or backspace, the cursor is moved one - space to the left and that screen position is erased as if - <STRONG>delch</STRONG> had been called. If the character value is any - other <STRONG>KEY_</STRONG> define, the user is alerted with a <STRONG>beep</STRONG> call. - Otherwise the character is simply output to the screen. - - If the window is not a pad, and it has been moved or modi- - fied since the last call to <STRONG>wrefresh</STRONG>, <STRONG>wrefresh</STRONG> will be - called before another character is read. - - If <STRONG>keypad</STRONG> is <STRONG>TRUE</STRONG>, and a function key is pressed, the - token for that function key is returned instead of the raw - characters. Possible function keys are defined in - <STRONG><curses.h></STRONG> as macros with values outside the range of - 8-bit characters whose names begin with <STRONG>KEY_.</STRONG> Thus, a - variable intended to hold the return value of a function - key must be of short size or larger. - - When a character that could be the beginning of a function - key is received (which, on modern terminals, means an - escape character), <STRONG>curses</STRONG> sets a timer. If the remainder - of the sequence does not come in within the designated - time, the character is passed through; otherwise, the - function key value is returned. For this reason, many - terminals experience a delay between the time a user - presses the escape key and the escape is returned to the - program. - - The <STRONG>ungetch</STRONG> routine places <EM>ch</EM> back onto the input queue to - be returned by the next call to <STRONG>wgetch</STRONG>. There is just one - input queue for all windows. - - - <STRONG>Function</STRONG> <STRONG>Keys</STRONG> - The following function keys, defined in <STRONG><curses.h></STRONG>, might - be returned by <STRONG>getch</STRONG> if <STRONG>keypad</STRONG> has been enabled.

Some curses implementations may differ - according to whether they treat these control keys spe- - cially (and ignore the terminfo), or use the terminfo def- - initions. <STRONG>Ncurses</STRONG> uses the terminfo definition. If it - says that KEY_ENTER is control/M, <STRONG>getch</STRONG>, will return - KEY_ENTER when you press control/M. - - When using <STRONG>getch</STRONG>, <STRONG>wgetch</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvgetch</STRONG>, or <STRONG>mvwgetch</STRONG>, nocbreak - mode (<STRONG>nocbreak</STRONG>) and echo mode (<STRONG>echo</STRONG>) should not be used at - the same time. Depending on the state of the tty driver - when each character is typed, the program may produce - undesirable results. - - Note that <STRONG>getch</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvgetch</STRONG>, and <STRONG>mvwgetch</STRONG> may be macros. - - Historically, the set of keypad macros was largely defined - by the extremely function-key-rich keyboard of the AT&T - 7300, aka 3B1, aka Safari 4. Modern personal computers - usually have only a small subset of these. IBM PC-style - consoles typically support little more than <STRONG>KEY_UP</STRONG>, - <STRONG>KEY_DOWN</STRONG>, <STRONG>KEY_LEFT</STRONG>, <STRONG>KEY_RIGHT</STRONG>, <STRONG>KEY_HOME</STRONG>, <STRONG>KEY_END</STRONG>, - <STRONG>KEY_NPAGE</STRONG>, <STRONG>KEY_PPAGE</STRONG>, and function keys 1 through 12. The - Ins key is usually mapped to <STRONG>KEY_IC</STRONG>. - - -</PRE> -<H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE> - The *get* functions are described in the XSI Curses stan- - dard, Issue 4. They read single-byte characters only. - The standard specifies that they return <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> on failure, - but specifies no error conditions. - - The echo behavior of these functions on input of <STRONG>KEY_</STRONG> or - backspace characters was not specified in the SVr4 docu- - mentation. This description is adopted from the XSI - Curses standard. - - The behavior of <STRONG>getch</STRONG> and friends in the presence of han- - dled signals is unspecified in the SVr4 and XSI Curses - documentation. Under historical curses implementations, - it varied depending on whether the operating system's - implementation of handled signal receipt interrupts a - <STRONG><A HREF="read.2.html">read(2)</A></STRONG> call in progress or not, and also (in some imple- - mentations) depending on whether an input timeout or non- - blocking mode hsd been set. - - Programmers concerned about portability should be prepared - for either of two cases: (a) signal receipt does not - interrupt <STRONG>getch</STRONG>; (b) signal receipt interrupts <STRONG>getch</STRONG> and - causes it to return ERR with <STRONG>errno</STRONG> set to <STRONG>EINTR</STRONG>. Under - the <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> implementation, handled signals never inter- - rupt <STRONG>getch</STRONG>. - - The <STRONG>has_key</STRONG> function is unique to <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG>.
