This implementation is ``new + curses'' (ncurses) and is the approved replacement for + 4.4BSD classic curses, which has been discontinued. This + describes <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> version 5.9 (patch 20110404). + + The <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> library emulates the curses library of System + V Release 4 UNIX, and XPG4 (X/Open Portability Guide) + curses (also known as XSI curses). XSI stands for X/Open + System Interfaces Extension. The <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> library is + freely redistributable in source form. Differences from + the SVr4 curses are summarized under the <STRONG>EXTENSIONS</STRONG> and + <STRONG>PORTABILITY</STRONG> sections below and described in detail in the + respective <STRONG>EXTENSIONS</STRONG>, <STRONG>PORTABILITY</STRONG> and <STRONG>BUGS</STRONG> sections of + individual man pages. + + The <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> library also provides many useful extensions, + i.e., features which cannot be implemented by a simple + add-on library but which require access to the internals + of the library. + + A program using these routines must be linked with the + <STRONG>-lncurses</STRONG> option, or (if it has been generated) with the + debugging library <STRONG>-lncurses_g</STRONG>. (Your system integrator + may also have installed these libraries under the names + <STRONG>-lcurses</STRONG> and <STRONG>-lcurses_g</STRONG>.) The ncurses_g library generates + trace logs (in a file called 'trace' in the current direc- + tory) that describe curses actions. See also the section + on <STRONG>ALTERNATE</STRONG> <STRONG>CONFIGURATIONS</STRONG>. + + The <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> package supports: overall screen, window and + pad manipulation; output to windows and pads; reading ter- + minal input; control over terminal and <STRONG>curses</STRONG> input and + output options; environment query routines; color manipu- + lation; use of soft label keys; terminfo capabilities; and + access to low-level terminal-manipulation routines. + + The library uses the locale which the calling program has + initialized. That is normally done with <STRONG>setlocale</STRONG>: + + <STRONG>setlocale(LC_ALL,</STRONG> <STRONG>"");</STRONG> + + If the locale is not initialized, the library assumes that + characters are printable as in ISO-8859-1, to work with + certain legacy programs. You should initialize the locale + and not rely on specific details of the library when the + locale has not been setup. + + The function <STRONG>initscr</STRONG> or <STRONG>newterm</STRONG> must be called to initial- + ize the library before any of the other routines that deal + with windows and screens are used. The routine <STRONG>endwin</STRONG> + must be called before exiting. + + To get character-at-a-time input without echoing (most + interactive, screen oriented programs want this), the fol- + lowing sequence should be used: + + <STRONG>initscr();</STRONG> <STRONG>cbreak();</STRONG> <STRONG>noecho();</STRONG> + + Most programs would additionally use the sequence: + + <STRONG>nonl();</STRONG> + <STRONG>intrflush(stdscr,</STRONG> <STRONG>FALSE);</STRONG> + <STRONG>keypad(stdscr,</STRONG> <STRONG>TRUE);</STRONG> + + Before a <STRONG>curses</STRONG> program is run, the tab stops of the ter- + minal should be set and its initialization strings, if + defined, must be output. This can be done by executing + the <STRONG>tput</STRONG> <STRONG>init</STRONG> command after the shell environment variable + <STRONG>TERM</STRONG> has been exported. <STRONG>tset(1)</STRONG> is usually responsible + for doing this. [See <STRONG><A HREF="terminfo.5.html">terminfo(5)</A></STRONG> for further details.] + + The <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> library permits manipulation of data struc- + tures, called <EM>windows</EM>, which can be thought of as two- + dimensional arrays of characters representing all or part + of a CRT screen. A default window called <STRONG>stdscr</STRONG>, which is + the size of the terminal screen, is supplied. Others may + be created with <STRONG>newwin</STRONG>. + + Note that <STRONG>curses</STRONG> does not handle overlapping windows, + that's done by the <STRONG><A HREF="panel.3x.html">panel(3x)</A></STRONG> library. This means that you + can either use <STRONG>stdscr</STRONG> or divide the screen into tiled win- + dows and not using <STRONG>stdscr</STRONG> at all. Mixing the two will + result in unpredictable, and undesired, effects. + + Windows are referred to by variables declared as <STRONG>WINDOW</STRONG> <STRONG>*</STRONG>. + These data structures are manipulated with routines + described here and elsewhere in the <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> manual pages. + Among those, the most basic routines are <STRONG>move</STRONG> and <STRONG>addch</STRONG>. + More general versions of these routines are included with + names beginning with <STRONG>w</STRONG>, allowing the user to specify a + window. The routines not beginning with <STRONG>w</STRONG> affect <STRONG>stdscr</STRONG>. + + After using routines to manipulate a window, <STRONG>refresh</STRONG> is + called, telling <STRONG>curses</STRONG> to make the user's CRT screen look + like <STRONG>stdscr</STRONG>. The characters in a window are actually of + type <STRONG>chtype</STRONG>, (character and attribute data) so that other + information about the character may also be stored with + each character. + + Special windows called <EM>pads</EM> may also be manipulated. + These are windows which are not constrained to the size of + the screen and whose contents need not be completely dis- + played. See <STRONG><A HREF="curs_pad.3x.html">curs_pad(3x)</A></STRONG> for more information. + + In addition to drawing characters on the screen, video + attributes and colors may be supported, causing the char- + acters to show up in such modes as underlined, in reverse + video, or in color on terminals that support such display + enhancements. Line drawing characters may be specified to + be output. On input, <STRONG>curses</STRONG> is also able to translate + arrow and function keys that transmit escape sequences + into single values. The video attributes, line drawing + characters, and input values use names, defined in + <STRONG><curses.h></STRONG>, such as <STRONG>A_REVERSE</STRONG>, <STRONG>ACS_HLINE</STRONG>, and <STRONG>KEY_LEFT</STRONG>. + + If the environment variables <STRONG>LINES</STRONG> and <STRONG>COLUMNS</STRONG> are set, or + if the program is executing in a window environment, line + and column information in the environment will override + information read by <EM>terminfo</EM>. This would affect a program + running in an AT&T 630 layer, for example, where the size + of a screen is changeable (see <STRONG>ENVIRONMENT</STRONG>). + + If the environment variable <STRONG>TERMINFO</STRONG> is defined, any pro- + gram using <STRONG>curses</STRONG> checks for a local terminal definition + before checking in the standard place. For example, if + <STRONG>TERM</STRONG> is set to <STRONG>att4424</STRONG>, then the compiled terminal defini- + tion is found in + + <STRONG>/usr/share/terminfo/a/att4424</STRONG>. + + (The <STRONG>a</STRONG> is copied from the first letter of <STRONG>att4424</STRONG> to avoid + creation of huge directories.) However, if <STRONG>TERMINFO</STRONG> is + set to <STRONG>$HOME/myterms</STRONG>, <STRONG>curses</STRONG> first checks + + <STRONG>$HOME/myterms/a/att4424</STRONG>, + + and if that fails, it then checks + + <STRONG>/usr/share/terminfo/a/att4424</STRONG>. + + This is useful for developing experimental definitions or + when write permission in <STRONG>/usr/share/terminfo</STRONG> is not avail- + able. + + The integer variables <STRONG>LINES</STRONG> and <STRONG>COLS</STRONG> are defined in + <STRONG><curses.h></STRONG> and will be filled in by <STRONG>initscr</STRONG> with the size + of the screen. The constants <STRONG>TRUE</STRONG> and <STRONG>FALSE</STRONG> have the val- + ues <STRONG>1</STRONG> and <STRONG>0</STRONG>, respectively. + + The <STRONG>curses</STRONG> routines also define the <STRONG>WINDOW</STRONG> <STRONG>*</STRONG> variable + <STRONG>curscr</STRONG> which is used for certain low-level operations like + clearing and redrawing a screen containing garbage. The + <STRONG>curscr</STRONG> can be used in only a few routines. + + <STRONG>Routine</STRONG> <STRONG>and</STRONG> <STRONG>Argument</STRONG> <STRONG>Names</STRONG> + Many <STRONG>curses</STRONG> routines have two or more versions. The rou- + tines prefixed with <STRONG>w</STRONG> require a window argument. The rou- + tines prefixed with <STRONG>p</STRONG> require a pad argument. Those with- + out a prefix generally use <STRONG>stdscr</STRONG>. + + The routines prefixed with <STRONG>mv</STRONG> require a <EM>y</EM> and <EM>x</EM> coordinate + to move to before performing the appropriate action. The + <STRONG>mv</STRONG> routines imply a call to <STRONG>move</STRONG> before the call to the + other routine. The coordinate <EM>y</EM> always refers to the row + (of the window), and <EM>x</EM> always refers to the column. The + upper left-hand corner is always (0,0), not (1,1). + + The routines prefixed with <STRONG>mvw</STRONG> take both a window argument + and <EM>x</EM> and <EM>y</EM> coordinates. The window argument is always + specified before the coordinates. + + In each case, <EM>win</EM> is the window affected, and <EM>pad</EM> is the + pad affected; <EM>win</EM> and <EM>pad</EM> are always pointers to type <STRONG>WIN-</STRONG> + <STRONG>DOW</STRONG>. + + Option setting routines require a Boolean flag <EM>bf</EM> with the + value <STRONG>TRUE</STRONG> or <STRONG>FALSE</STRONG>; <EM>bf</EM> is always of type <STRONG>bool</STRONG>. Most of + the data types used in the library routines, such as <STRONG>WIN-</STRONG> + <STRONG>DOW</STRONG>, <STRONG>SCREEN</STRONG>, <STRONG>bool</STRONG>, and <STRONG>chtype</STRONG> are defined in <STRONG><curses.h></STRONG>. + Types used for the terminfo routines such as <STRONG>TERMINAL</STRONG> are + defined in <STRONG><term.h></STRONG>. + + This manual page describes functions which may appear in + any configuration of the library. There are two common + configurations of the library: + + ncurses + the "normal" library, which handles 8-bit + characters. The normal (8-bit) library stores + characters combined with attributes in <STRONG>chtype</STRONG> + data. + + Attributes alone (no corresponding character) + may be stored in <STRONG>chtype</STRONG> or the equivalent + <STRONG>attr_t</STRONG> data. In either case, the data is + stored in something like an integer. + + Each cell (row and column) in a <STRONG>WINDOW</STRONG> is + stored as a <STRONG>chtype</STRONG>. + + ncursesw + the so-called "wide" library, which handles + multibyte characters (see the section on + <STRONG>ALTERNATE</STRONG> <STRONG>CONFIGURATIONS</STRONG>). The "wide" library + includes all of the calls from the "normal" + library. It adds about one third more calls + using data types which store multibyte charac- + ters: + + <STRONG>cchar_t</STRONG> + corresponds to <STRONG>chtype</STRONG>. However it is a + structure, because more data is stored + than can fit into an integer. The char- + acters are large enough to require a full + integer value - and there may be more + than one character per cell. The video + attributes and color are stored in sepa- + rate fields of the structure. + + Each cell (row and column) in a <STRONG>WINDOW</STRONG> is + stored as a <STRONG>cchar_t</STRONG>. + + <STRONG>wchar_t</STRONG> + stores a "wide" character. Like <STRONG>chtype</STRONG>, + this may be an integer. + + <STRONG>wint_t</STRONG> + stores a <STRONG>wchar_t</STRONG> or <STRONG>WEOF</STRONG> - not the same, + though both may have the same size. + + The "wide" library provides new functions + which are analogous to functions in the "nor- + mal" library. There is a naming convention + which relates many of the normal/wide vari- + ants: a "_w" is inserted into the name. For + example, <STRONG>waddch</STRONG> becomes <STRONG>wadd_wch</STRONG>. + + + <STRONG>Routine</STRONG> <STRONG>Name</STRONG> <STRONG>Index</STRONG> + The following table lists each <STRONG>curses</STRONG> routine and the name + of the manual page on which it is described.

The most + important ones have been already discussed in detail. + + BAUDRATE + The debugging library checks this environment symbol + when the application has redirected output to a file. + The symbol's numeric value is used for the baudrate. + If no value is found, <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> uses 9600. This allows + testers to construct repeatable test-cases that take + into account costs that depend on baudrate. + + CC When set, change occurrences of the command_character + (i.e., the <STRONG>cmdch</STRONG> capability) of the loaded terminfo + entries to the value of this symbol. Very few ter- + minfo entries provide this feature. + + Because this name is also used in development envi- + ronments to represent the C compiler's name, <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> + ignores it if it does not happen to be a single char- + acter. + + COLUMNS + Specify the width of the screen in characters. + Applications running in a windowing environment usu- + ally are able to obtain the width of the window in + which they are executing. If neither the <STRONG>COLUMNS</STRONG> + value nor the terminal's screen size is available, + <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> uses the size which may be specified in the + terminfo database (i.e., the <STRONG>cols</STRONG> capability). + + It is important that your application use a correct + size for the screen. This is not always possible + because your application may be running on a host + which does not honor NAWS (Negotiations About Window + Size), or because you are temporarily running as + another user. However, setting <STRONG>COLUMNS</STRONG> and/or <STRONG>LINES</STRONG> + overrides the library's use of the screen size + obtained from the operating system. + + Either <STRONG>COLUMNS</STRONG> or <STRONG>LINES</STRONG> symbols may be specified + independently. This is mainly useful to circumvent + legacy misfeatures of terminal descriptions, e.g., + xterm which commonly specifies a 65 line screen. For + best results, <STRONG>lines</STRONG> and <STRONG>cols</STRONG> should not be specified + in a terminal description for terminals which are run + as emulations. + + Use the <STRONG>use_env</STRONG> function to disable all use of exter- + nal environment (including system calls) to determine + the screen size. + + ESCDELAY + Specifies the total time, in milliseconds, for which + ncurses will await a character sequence, e.g., a + function key. The default value, 1000 milliseconds, + is enough for most uses. However, it is made a vari- + able to accommodate unusual applications. + + The most common instance where you may wish to change + this value is to work with slow hosts, e.g., running + on a network. If the host cannot read characters + rapidly enough, it will have the same effect as if + the terminal did not send characters rapidly enough. + The library will still see a timeout. + + Note that xterm mouse events are built up from char- + acter sequences received from the xterm. If your + application makes heavy use of multiple-clicking, you + may wish to lengthen this default value because the + timeout applies to the composed multi-click event as + well as the individual clicks. + + In addition to the environment variable, this imple- + mentation provides a global variable with the same + name. Portable applications should not rely upon the + presence of ESCDELAY in either form, but setting the + environment variable rather than the global variable + does not create problems when compiling an applica- + tion. + + HOME Tells <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> where your home directory is. That is + where it may read and write auxiliary terminal + descriptions: + + $HOME/.termcap + $HOME/.terminfo + + LINES + Like COLUMNS, specify the height of the screen in + characters. See COLUMNS for a detailed description. + + MOUSE_BUTTONS_123 + This applies only to the OS/2 EMX port. It specifies + the order of buttons on the mouse. OS/2 numbers a + 3-button mouse inconsistently from other platforms: + + 1 = left + 2 = right + 3 = middle. + + This symbol lets you customize the mouse. The symbol + must be three numeric digits 1-3 in any order, e.g., + 123 or 321. If it is not specified, <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> uses + 132. + + NCURSES_ASSUMED_COLORS + Override the compiled-in assumption that the termi- + nal's default colors are white-on-black (see + <STRONG><A HREF="default_colors.3x.html">default_colors(3x)</A></STRONG>). You may set the foreground and + background color values with this environment vari- + able by proving a 2-element list: foreground,back- + ground. For example, to tell ncurses to not assume + anything about the colors, set this to "-1,-1". To + make it green-on-black, set it to "2,0". Any posi- + tive value from zero to the terminfo <STRONG>max_colors</STRONG> value + is allowed. + + NCURSES_GPM_TERMS + This applies only to ncurses configured to use the + GPM interface. + + If present, the environment variable is a list of one + or more terminal names against which the TERM envi- + ronment variable is matched. Setting it to an empty + value disables the GPM interface; using the built-in + support for xterm, etc. + + If the environment variable is absent, ncurses will + attempt to open GPM if TERM contains "linux". + + NCURSES_NO_HARD_TABS + <STRONG>Ncurses</STRONG> may use tabs as part of the cursor movement + optimization. In some cases, your terminal driver + may not handle these properly. Set this environment + variable to disable the feature. You can also adjust + your <STRONG>stty</STRONG> settings to avoid the problem. + + NCURSES_NO_MAGIC_COOKIES + Some terminals use a magic-cookie feature which + requires special handling to make highlighting and + other video attributes display properly. You can + suppress the highlighting entirely for these termi- + nals by setting this environment variable. + + NCURSES_NO_PADDING + Most of the terminal descriptions in the terminfo + database are written for real "hardware" terminals. + Many people use terminal emulators which run in a + windowing environment and use curses-based applica- + tions. Terminal emulators can duplicate all of the + important aspects of a hardware terminal, but they do + not have the same limitations. The chief limitation + of a hardware terminal from the standpoint of your + application is the management of dataflow, i.e., tim- + ing. Unless a hardware terminal is interfaced into a + terminal concentrator (which does flow control), it + (or your application) must manage dataflow, prevent- + ing overruns. The cheapest solution (no hardware + cost) is for your program to do this by pausing after + operations that the terminal does slowly, such as + clearing the display. + + As a result, many terminal descriptions (including + the vt100) have delay times embedded. You may wish + to use these descriptions, but not want to pay the + performance penalty. + + Set the NCURSES_NO_PADDING symbol to disable all but + mandatory padding. Mandatory padding is used as a + part of special control sequences such as <EM>flash</EM>. + + NCURSES_NO_SETBUF + Normally <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> enables buffered output during ter- + minal initialization. This is done (as in SVr4 + curses) for performance reasons. For testing pur- + poses, both of <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> and certain applications, this + feature is made optional. Setting the + NCURSES_NO_SETBUF variable disables output buffering, + leaving the output in the original (usually line + buffered) mode. + + NCURSES_NO_UTF8_ACS + During initialization, the <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> library checks for + special cases where VT100 line-drawing (and the cor- + responding alternate character set capabilities) + described in the terminfo are known to be missing. + Specifically, when running in a UTF-8 locale, the + Linux console emulator and the GNU screen program + ignore these. Ncurses checks the TERM environment + variable for these. For other special cases, you + should set this environment variable. Doing this + tells ncurses to use Unicode values which correspond + to the VT100 line-drawing glyphs. That works for the + special cases cited, and is likely to work for termi- + nal emulators. + + When setting this variable, you should set it to a + nonzero value. Setting it to zero (or to a nonnum- + ber) disables the special check for "linux" and + "screen". + + As an alternative to the environment variable, + ncurses checks for an extended terminfo capability + <STRONG>U8</STRONG>. This is a numeric capability which can be com- + piled using <STRONG>tic</STRONG> <STRONG>-x</STRONG>. For example + + # linux console, if patched to provide working + # VT100 shift-in/shift-out, with corresponding font. + linux-vt100|linux console with VT100 line-graphics, + U8#0, use=linux, + + # uxterm with vt100Graphics resource set to false + xterm-utf8|xterm relying on UTF-8 line-graphics, + U8#1, use=xterm, + + The name "U8" is chosen to be two characters, to per- + mit it to be used by applications that use ncurses' + termcap interface. + + NCURSES_TRACE + During initialization, the <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> debugging library + checks the NCURSES_TRACE symbol. If it is defined, + to a numeric value, <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> calls the <STRONG>trace</STRONG> function, + using that value as the argument. + + The argument values, which are defined in <STRONG>curses.h</STRONG>, + provide several types of information. When running + with traces enabled, your application will write the + file <STRONG>trace</STRONG> to the current directory. + + TERM Denotes your terminal type. Each terminal type is + distinct, though many are similar. + + TERMCAP + If the <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> library has been configured with <EM>term-</EM> + <EM>cap</EM> support, <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> will check for a terminal's + description in termcap form if it is not available in + the terminfo database. + + The TERMCAP symbol contains either a terminal + description (with newlines stripped out), or a file + name telling where the information denoted by the + TERM symbol exists. In either case, setting it + directs <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> to ignore the usual place for this + information, e.g., /etc/termcap. + + TERMINFO + Overrides the directory in which <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> searches for + your terminal description. This is the simplest, but + not the only way to change the list of directories. + The complete list of directories in order follows: + + <STRONG>o</STRONG> the last directory to which <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> wrote, if + any, is searched first + + <STRONG>o</STRONG> the directory specified by the TERMINFO symbol + + <STRONG>o</STRONG> $HOME/.terminfo + + <STRONG>o</STRONG> directories listed in the TERMINFO_DIRS symbol + + <STRONG>o</STRONG> one or more directories whose names are config- + ured and compiled into the ncurses library, e.g., + /usr/share/terminfo + + TERMINFO_DIRS + Specifies a list of directories to search for termi- + nal descriptions. The list is separated by colons + (i.e., ":") on Unix, semicolons on OS/2 EMX. All of + the terminal descriptions are in terminfo form, which + makes a subdirectory named for the first letter of + the terminal names therein. + + TERMPATH + If TERMCAP does not hold a file name then <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> + checks the TERMPATH symbol. This is a list of file- + names separated by spaces or colons (i.e., ":") on + Unix, semicolons on OS/2 EMX. If the TERMPATH symbol + is not set, <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> looks in the files /etc/termcap, + /usr/share/misc/termcap and $HOME/.termcap, in that + order. + + The library may be configured to disregard the following + variables when the current user is the superuser (root), + or if the application uses setuid or setgid permissions: + $TERMINFO, $TERMINFO_DIRS, $TERMPATH, as well as $HOME. + + +</PRE> +<H2>ALTERNATE CONFIGURATIONS</H2><PRE> + Several different configurations are possible, depending + on the configure script options used when building + <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG>. There are a few main options whose effects are + visible to the applications developer using <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG>: + + --disable-overwrite + The standard include for <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> is as noted in <STRONG>SYN-</STRONG> + <STRONG>OPSIS</STRONG>: + + <STRONG>#include</STRONG> <STRONG><curses.h></STRONG> + + This option is used to avoid filename conflicts when + <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> is not the main implementation of curses of + the computer. If <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> is installed disabling + overwrite, it puts its headers in a subdirectory, + e.g., + + <STRONG>#include</STRONG> <STRONG><ncurses/curses.h></STRONG> + + It also omits a symbolic link which would allow you + to use <STRONG>-lcurses</STRONG> to build executables. + + --enable-widec + The configure script renames the library and (if the + <STRONG>--disable-overwrite</STRONG> option is used) puts the header + files in a different subdirectory. All of the + library names have a "w" appended to them, i.e., + instead of + + <STRONG>-lncurses</STRONG> + + you link with + + <STRONG>-lncursesw</STRONG> + + You must also define <STRONG>_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED</STRONG> when com- + piling for the wide-character library to use the + extended (wide-character) functions. The <STRONG>curses.h</STRONG> + file which is installed for the wide-character + library is designed to be compatible with the normal + library's header. Only the size of the <STRONG>WINDOW</STRONG> struc- + ture differs, and very few applications require more + than a pointer to <STRONG>WINDOW</STRONG>s. If the headers are + installed allowing overwrite, the wide-character + library's headers should be installed last, to allow + applications to be built using either library from + the same set of headers. + + --with-shared + + --with-normal + + --with-debug + + --with-profile + The shared and normal (static) library names differ + by their suffixes, e.g., <STRONG>libncurses.so</STRONG> and + <STRONG>libncurses.a</STRONG>. The debug and profiling libraries add + a "_g" and a "_p" to the root names respectively, + e.g., <STRONG>libncurses_g.a</STRONG> and <STRONG>libncurses_p.a</STRONG>. + + --with-trace + The <STRONG>trace</STRONG> function normally resides in the debug + library, but it is sometimes useful to configure this + in the shared library.
