Control characters are displayed in the <STRONG>^</STRONG><EM>X</EM> + notation. Printing characters are displayed as is. The + corresponding <STRONG>wunctrl</STRONG> returns a printable representation + of a wide-character. + + The <STRONG>keyname</STRONG> routine returns a character string correspond- + ing to the key <EM>c</EM>. Control characters are displayed in the + <STRONG>^</STRONG><EM>X</EM> notation. Values above 128 are either meta characters, + shown in the <STRONG>M-</STRONG><EM>X</EM> notation, or the names of function keys, + or null. The corresponding <STRONG>key_name</STRONG> returns a character + string corresponding to the wide-character value <EM>w</EM>. The + two functions do not return the same set of strings; the + latter returns null where the former would display a meta + character. + + The <STRONG>filter</STRONG> routine, if used, must be called before <STRONG>initscr</STRONG> + or <STRONG>newterm</STRONG> are called. The effect is that, during those + calls, <STRONG>LINES</STRONG> is set to 1; the capabilities <STRONG>clear</STRONG>, <STRONG>cup</STRONG>, + <STRONG>cud</STRONG>, <STRONG>cud1</STRONG>, <STRONG>cuu1</STRONG>, <STRONG>cuu</STRONG>, <STRONG>vpa</STRONG> are disabled; and the <STRONG>home</STRONG> + string is set to the value of <STRONG>cr</STRONG>. + + The <STRONG>use_env</STRONG> routine, if used, is called before <STRONG>initscr</STRONG> or + <STRONG>newterm</STRONG> are called. When called with <STRONG>FALSE</STRONG> as an argu- + ment, the values of <STRONG>lines</STRONG> and <STRONG>columns</STRONG> specified in the + <EM>terminfo</EM> database will be used, even if environment vari- + ables <STRONG>LINES</STRONG> and <STRONG>COLUMNS</STRONG> (used by default) are set, or if + <STRONG>curses</STRONG> is running in a window (in which case default + behavior would be to use the window size if <STRONG>LINES</STRONG> and + <STRONG>COLUMNS</STRONG> are not set). + + The <STRONG>putwin</STRONG> routine writes all data associated with window + <EM>win</EM> into the file to which <EM>filep</EM> points. This information + can be later retrieved using the <STRONG>getwin</STRONG> function. + + The <STRONG>getwin</STRONG> routine reads window related data stored in the + file by <STRONG>putwin</STRONG>. The routine then creates and initializes + a new window using that data. It returns a pointer to the + new window. + + The <STRONG>delay_output</STRONG> routine inserts an <EM>ms</EM> millisecond pause + in output. This routine should not be used extensively + because padding characters are used rather than a CPU + pause. + + The <STRONG>flushinp</STRONG> routine throws away any typeahead that has + been typed by the user and has not yet been read by the + program. + + +</PRE> +<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE> + Except for <STRONG>flushinp</STRONG>, routines that return an integer + return <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon failure and <STRONG>OK</STRONG> (SVr4 specifies only "an + integer value other than <STRONG>ERR</STRONG>") upon successful completion. + + <STRONG>flushinp</STRONG> always returns <STRONG>OK</STRONG>. + + Routines that return pointers return <STRONG>NULL</STRONG> on error. + + +</PRE> +<H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE> + The XSI Curses standard, Issue 4 describes these func- + tions. It states that <STRONG>unctrl</STRONG> and <STRONG>wunctrl</STRONG> will return a + null pointer if unsuccessful, but does not define any + error conditions. + + The SVr4 documentation describes the action of <STRONG>filter</STRONG> only + in the vaguest terms. The description here is adapted + from the XSI Curses standard (which erroneously fails to + describe the disabling of <STRONG>cuu</STRONG>). + + +</PRE> +<H2>SEE ALSO</H2><PRE> + <STRONG><A HREF="ncurses.3x.html">curses(3x)</A></STRONG>, <STRONG><A HREF="curs_initscr.3x.html">curs_initscr(3x)</A></STRONG>, <STRONG><A HREF="curs_scr_dump.3x.html">curs_scr_dump(3x)</A></STRONG>. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +</PRE> +<HR> +<ADDRESS> +Man(1) output converted with +<a href="http://www.oac.uci.edu/indiv/ehood/man2html.html">man2html</a> +</ADDRESS> +</BODY> +</HTML> |
