| |
| |
| </PRE> |
| <H2>SYNOPSIS</H2><PRE> |
| <STRONG>#include</STRONG> <STRONG><curses.h></STRONG> |
| |
| |
| </PRE> |
| <H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE> |
| The <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> library routines give the user a terminal- |
| independent method of updating character screens with rea- |
| sonable optimization. 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 5.6 (patch 20081011). |
| |
| The <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> library emulates the <STRONG><A HREF="ncurses.3x.html">curses(3x)</A></STRONG> 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. Routines |
| flagged with `*' are ncurses-specific, not described by |
| XPG4 or present in SVr4. |

| <H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE> |
| Routines that return an integer return <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon failure |
| and an integer value other than <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon successful com- |
| pletion, unless otherwise noted in the routine descrip- |
| tions. |
| |
| All macros return the value of the <STRONG>w</STRONG> version, except |
| <STRONG>setscrreg</STRONG>, <STRONG>wsetscrreg</STRONG>, <STRONG>getyx</STRONG>, <STRONG>getbegyx</STRONG>, and <STRONG>getmaxyx</STRONG>. The |
| return values of <STRONG>setscrreg</STRONG>, <STRONG>wsetscrreg</STRONG>, <STRONG>getyx</STRONG>, <STRONG>getbegyx</STRONG>, |
| and <STRONG>getmaxyx</STRONG> are undefined (i.e., these should not be used |
| as the right-hand side of assignment statements). |
| |
| Routines that return pointers return <STRONG>NULL</STRONG> on error. |
| |
| |
| </PRE> |
| <H2>ENVIRONMENT</H2><PRE> |
| The following environment symbols are useful for customiz- |
| ing the runtime behavior of the <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> library. 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. |
| |
| 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 |
| applications. 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., timing. Unless a hardware terminal is inter- |
| faced into a terminal concentrator (which does flow |
| control), it (or your application) must manage |
| dataflow, preventing 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. |
| |
| 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: |
| |
| - the last directory to which <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> wrote, if any, |
| is searched first |
| |
| - the directory specified by the TERMINFO symbol |
| |
| - $HOME/.terminfo |
| |
| - directories listed in the TERMINFO_DIRS symbol |
| |
| - one or more directories whose names are configured |
| 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>libn-</STRONG> |
| <STRONG>curses.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. Configure scripts should |
| check for the function's existence rather than assum- |
| ing it is always in the debug library. |

| <H2>EXTENSIONS</H2><PRE> |
| The <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> library can be compiled with an option |
| (<STRONG>-DUSE_GETCAP</STRONG>) that falls back to the old-style /etc/term- |
| cap file if the terminal setup code cannot find a terminfo |
| entry corresponding to <STRONG>TERM</STRONG>. Use of this feature is not |
| recommended, as it essentially includes an entire termcap |
| compiler in the <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> startup code, at significant cost |
| in core and startup cycles. |
| |
| The <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> library includes facilities for capturing |
| mouse events on certain terminals (including xterm). See |
| the <STRONG><A HREF="curs_mouse.3x.html">curs_mouse(3x)</A></STRONG> manual page for details. |
| |
| The <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> library includes facilities for responding to |
| window resizing events, e.g., when running in an xterm. |
| See the <STRONG><A HREF="resizeterm.3x.html">resizeterm(3x)</A></STRONG> and <STRONG><A HREF="wresize.3x.html">wresize(3x)</A></STRONG> manual pages for |
| details. In addition, the library may be configured with |
| a SIGWINCH handler. |
| |
| The <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> library extends the fixed set of function key |
| capabilities of terminals by allowing the application |
| designer to define additional key sequences at runtime. |
| See the <STRONG><A HREF="define_key.3x.html">define_key(3x)</A></STRONG> <STRONG><A HREF="key_defined.3x.html">key_defined(3x)</A></STRONG>, and <STRONG><A HREF="keyok.3x.html">keyok(3x)</A></STRONG> man- |
| ual pages for details. |
| |
| The <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> library can exploit the capabilities of termi- |
| nals which implement the ISO-6429 SGR 39 and SGR 49 con- |
| trols, which allow an application to reset the terminal to |
| its original foreground and background colors. From the |
| users' perspective, the application is able to draw col- |
| ored text on a background whose color is set indepen- |
| dently, providing better control over color contrasts. |
| See the <STRONG><A HREF="default_colors.3x.html">default_colors(3x)</A></STRONG> manual page for details. |
| |
| The <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> library includes a function for directing |
| application output to a printer attached to the terminal |
| device. See the <STRONG><A HREF="curs_print.3x.html">curs_print(3x)</A></STRONG> manual page for details. |

| <H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE> |
| The <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> library is intended to be BASE-level confor- |
| mant with XSI Curses. The EXTENDED XSI Curses functional- |
| ity (including color support) is supported. |
| |
| A small number of local differences (that is, individual |
| differences between the XSI Curses and <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> calls) are |
| described in <STRONG>PORTABILITY</STRONG> sections of the library man |
| pages. |
| |
| This implementation also contains several extensions: |
| |
| The routine <STRONG>has_key</STRONG> is not part of XPG4, nor is it |
| present in SVr4. See the <STRONG><A HREF="curs_getch.3x.html">curs_getch(3x)</A></STRONG> manual page |
| for details. |
| |
| The routine <STRONG>slk_attr</STRONG> is not part of XPG4, nor is it |
| present in SVr4. See the <STRONG><A HREF="curs_slk.3x.html">curs_slk(3x)</A></STRONG> manual page |
| for details. |
| |
| The routines <STRONG>getmouse</STRONG>, <STRONG>mousemask</STRONG>, <STRONG>ungetmouse</STRONG>, <STRONG>mou-</STRONG> |
| <STRONG>seinterval</STRONG>, and <STRONG>wenclose</STRONG> relating to mouse interfac- |
| ing are not part of XPG4, nor are they present in |
| SVr4. See the <STRONG><A HREF="curs_mouse.3x.html">curs_mouse(3x)</A></STRONG> manual page for |
| details. |
| |
| The routine <STRONG>mcprint</STRONG> was not present in any previous |
| curses implementation. See the <STRONG><A HREF="curs_print.3x.html">curs_print(3x)</A></STRONG> manual |
| page for details. |
| |
| The routine <STRONG>wresize</STRONG> is not part of XPG4, nor is it |
| present in SVr4. See the <STRONG><A HREF="wresize.3x.html">wresize(3x)</A></STRONG> manual page for |
| details. |
| |
| The WINDOW structure's internal details can be hidden |
| from application programs. See <STRONG><A HREF="curs_opaque.3x.html">curs_opaque(3x)</A></STRONG> for |
| the discussion of <STRONG>is_scrollok</STRONG>, etc. |
| |
| In historic curses versions, delays embedded in the capa- |
| bilities <STRONG>cr</STRONG>, <STRONG>ind</STRONG>, <STRONG>cub1</STRONG>, <STRONG>ff</STRONG> and <STRONG>tab</STRONG> activated corresponding |
| delay bits in the UNIX tty driver. In this implementa- |
| tion, all padding is done by sending NUL bytes. This |
| method is slightly more expensive, but narrows the inter- |
| face to the UNIX kernel significantly and increases the |
| package's portability correspondingly. |

| <H2>NOTES</H2><PRE> |
| The header file <STRONG><curses.h></STRONG> automatically includes the |
| header files <STRONG><stdio.h></STRONG> and <STRONG><unctrl.h></STRONG>. |
| |
| If standard output from a <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> program is re-directed |
| to something which is not a tty, screen updates will be |
| directed to standard error. This was an undocumented fea- |
| ture of AT&T System V Release 3 curses. |
