| <H2><a name="h2-DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</a></H2><PRE> |
| The following routines give low-level access to various |
| <STRONG>curses</STRONG> capabilities. These routines typically are used |
| inside library routines. |
| |
| |
| </PRE> |
| <H3><a name="h3-def_prog_mode_-def_shell_mode">def_prog_mode, def_shell_mode</a></H3><PRE> |
| The <STRONG>def_prog_mode</STRONG> and <STRONG>def_shell_mode</STRONG> routines save the |
| current terminal modes as the "program" (in <STRONG>curses</STRONG>) or |
| "shell" (not in <STRONG>curses</STRONG>) state for use by the <STRONG>re-</STRONG> |
| <STRONG>set_prog_mode</STRONG> and <STRONG>reset_shell_mode</STRONG> routines. This is done |
| automatically by <STRONG>initscr</STRONG>. There is one such save area for |
| each screen context allocated by <STRONG>newterm()</STRONG>. |
| |
| |
| </PRE> |
| <H3><a name="h3-reset_prog_mode_-reset_shell_mode">reset_prog_mode, reset_shell_mode</a></H3><PRE> |
| The <STRONG>reset_prog_mode</STRONG> and <STRONG>reset_shell_mode</STRONG> routines restore |
| the terminal to "program" (in <STRONG>curses</STRONG>) or "shell" (out of |
| <STRONG>curses</STRONG>) state. These are done automatically by <STRONG>endwin</STRONG> |
| and, after an <STRONG>endwin</STRONG>, by <STRONG>doupdate</STRONG>, so they normally are |
| not called. |
| |
| |
| </PRE> |
| <H3><a name="h3-resetty_-savetty">resetty, savetty</a></H3><PRE> |
| The <STRONG>resetty</STRONG> and <STRONG>savetty</STRONG> routines save and restore the |
| state of the terminal modes. <STRONG>savetty</STRONG> saves the current |
| state in a buffer and <STRONG>resetty</STRONG> restores the state to what |
| it was at the last call to <STRONG>savetty</STRONG>. |
| |
| |
| </PRE> |
| <H3><a name="h3-getsyx">getsyx</a></H3><PRE> |
| The <STRONG>getsyx</STRONG> routine returns the current coordinates of the |
| virtual screen cursor in <EM>y</EM> and <EM>x</EM>. If <STRONG>leaveok</STRONG> is currently |
| <STRONG>TRUE</STRONG>, then <STRONG>-1</STRONG>,<STRONG>-1</STRONG> is returned. If lines have been removed |
| from the top of the screen, using <STRONG>ripoffline</STRONG>, <EM>y</EM> and <EM>x</EM> in- |
| clude these lines; therefore, <EM>y</EM> and <EM>x</EM> should be used only |
| as arguments for <STRONG>setsyx</STRONG>. |
| |
| |
| </PRE> |
| <H3><a name="h3-setsyx">setsyx</a></H3><PRE> |
| The <STRONG>setsyx</STRONG> routine sets the virtual screen cursor to <EM>y</EM>, <EM>x</EM>. |
| If <EM>y</EM> and <EM>x</EM> are both <STRONG>-1</STRONG>, then <STRONG>leaveok</STRONG> is set. The two rou- |
| tines <STRONG>getsyx</STRONG> and <STRONG>setsyx</STRONG> are designed to be used by a li- |
| brary routine, which manipulates <STRONG>curses</STRONG> windows but does |
| not want to change the current position of the program's |
| cursor. The library routine would call <STRONG>getsyx</STRONG> at the be- |
| ginning, do its manipulation of its own windows, do a |
| <STRONG>wnoutrefresh</STRONG> on its windows, call <STRONG>setsyx</STRONG>, and then call |
| <STRONG>doupdate</STRONG>. |
| |
| |
| </PRE> |
| <H3><a name="h3-ripoffline">ripoffline</a></H3><PRE> |
| The <STRONG>ripoffline</STRONG> routine provides access to the same facili- |
| ty that <STRONG>slk_init</STRONG> [see <STRONG><A HREF="curs_slk.3x.html">curs_slk(3x)</A></STRONG>] uses to reduce the |
| size of the screen. <STRONG>ripoffline</STRONG> must be called before |
| <STRONG>initscr</STRONG> or <STRONG>newterm</STRONG> is called, to prepare these initial ac- |
| tions: |
| |
| <STRONG>o</STRONG> If <EM>line</EM> is positive, a line is removed from the top of |
| <STRONG>stdscr</STRONG>. |
| |
| <STRONG>o</STRONG> if <EM>line</EM> is negative, a line is removed from the bot- |
| tom. |
| |
| When the resulting initialization is done inside <STRONG>initscr</STRONG>, |
| the routine <STRONG>init</STRONG> (supplied by the user) is called with two |
| arguments: |
| |
| <STRONG>o</STRONG> a window pointer to the one-line window that has been |
| allocated and |
| |
| <STRONG>o</STRONG> an integer with the number of columns in the window. |
| |
| Inside this initialization routine, the integer variables |
| <STRONG>LINES</STRONG> and <STRONG>COLS</STRONG> (defined in <STRONG><curses.h></STRONG>) are not guaranteed |
| to be accurate and <STRONG>wrefresh</STRONG> or <STRONG>doupdate</STRONG> must not be |
| called. It is allowable to call <STRONG>wnoutrefresh</STRONG> during the |
| initialization routine. |
| |
| <STRONG>ripoffline</STRONG> can be called up to five times before calling |
| <STRONG>initscr</STRONG> or <STRONG>newterm</STRONG>. |
| |
| |
| </PRE> |
| <H3><a name="h3-curs_set">curs_set</a></H3><PRE> |
| The <STRONG>curs_set</STRONG> routine sets the cursor state to invisible, |
| normal, or very visible for <STRONG>visibility</STRONG> equal to <STRONG>0</STRONG>, <STRONG>1</STRONG>, or <STRONG>2</STRONG> |
| respectively. If the terminal supports the <EM>visibility</EM> re- |
| quested, the previous <EM>cursor</EM> state is returned; otherwise, |
| <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> is returned. |
| |
| |
| </PRE> |
| <H3><a name="h3-napms">napms</a></H3><PRE> |
| The <STRONG>napms</STRONG> routine is used to sleep for <EM>ms</EM> milliseconds. |
| |
| |
| </PRE> |
| <H2><a name="h2-RETURN-VALUE">RETURN VALUE</a></H2><PRE> |
| Except for <STRONG>curs_set</STRONG>, these routines always return <STRONG>OK</STRONG>. |
| |
| <STRONG>curs_set</STRONG> returns the previous cursor state, or <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> if the |
| requested <EM>visibility</EM> is not supported. |
| |
| X/Open defines no error conditions. In this implementa- |
| tion |
| |
| <STRONG>def_prog_mode</STRONG>, <STRONG>def_shell_mode</STRONG>, <STRONG>reset_prog_mode</STRONG>, |
| <STRONG>reset_shell_mode</STRONG> |
| return an error if the terminal was not initialized, |
| or if the I/O call to obtain the terminal settings |
| fails. |
| |
| <STRONG>ripoffline</STRONG> |
| returns an error if the maximum number of ripped-off |
| lines exceeds the maximum (NRIPS = 5). |
| |
| |
| </PRE> |
| <H2><a name="h2-NOTES">NOTES</a></H2><PRE> |
| Note that <STRONG>getsyx</STRONG> is a macro, so <STRONG>&</STRONG> is not necessary before |
| the variables <EM>y</EM> and <EM>x</EM>. |
| |
| Older SVr4 man pages warn that the return value of |
| <STRONG>curs_set</STRONG> "is currently incorrect". This implementation |
| gets it right, but it may be unwise to count on the cor- |
| rectness of the return value anywhere else. |
| |
| Both ncurses and SVr4 will call <STRONG>curs_set</STRONG> in <STRONG>endwin</STRONG> if |
| <STRONG>curs_set</STRONG> has been called to make the cursor other than |
| normal, i.e., either invisible or very visible. There is |
| no way for ncurses to determine the initial cursor state |
| to restore that. |
| |
| |
| </PRE> |
| <H2><a name="h2-PORTABILITY">PORTABILITY</a></H2><PRE> |
| The functions <STRONG>setsyx</STRONG> and <STRONG>getsyx</STRONG> are not described in the |
| XSI Curses standard, Issue 4. All other functions are as |
| described in XSI Curses. |
| |
| The SVr4 documentation describes <STRONG>setsyx</STRONG> and <STRONG>getsyx</STRONG> as hav- |
| ing return type int. This is misleading, as they are |
| macros with no documented semantics for the return value. |
