curs_termattrs(3X) DG/UX R4.11MU05 curs_termattrs(3X)
NAME
curs_termattrs: baudrate, erasechar, has_ic, has_il, killchar,
longname, termattrs, termname - curses environment query routines
SYNOPSIS
#include <curses.h>
int baudrate(void);
char erasechar(void);
int has_ic(void);
int has_il(void);
char killchar(void);
char *longname(void);
chtype termattrs(void);
char *termname(void);
DESCRIPTION
The baudrate routine returns the output speed of the terminal. The
number returned is in bits per second, for example 9600, and is an
integer.
With the erasechar routine, the user's current erase character is
returned.
The has_ic routine is true if the terminal has insert- and delete-
character capabilities.
The has_il routine is true if the terminal has insert- and delete-
line capabilities, or can simulate them using scrolling regions.
This might be used to determine if it would be appropriate to turn on
physical scrolling using scrollok.
With the killchar routine, the user's current line kill character is
returned.
The longname routine returns a pointer to a static area containing a
verbose description of the current terminal. The maximum length of a
verbose description is 128 characters. It is defined only after the
call to initscr or newterm. The area is overwritten by each call to
newterm and is not restored by set_term, so the value should be saved
between calls to newterm if longname is going to be used with
multiple terminals.
If a given terminal doesn't support a video attribute that an
application program is trying to use, curses may substitute a
different video attribute for it. The termattrs function returns a
logical OR of all video attributes supported by the terminal. This
information is useful when a curses program needs complete control
over the appearance of the screen.
The termname routine returns the value of the environmental variable
TERM (truncated to 14 characters).
RETURN VALUE
longname and termname return NULL on error.
Routines that return an integer return ERR upon failure and an
integer value other than ERR upon successful completion.
NOTES
The header file <curses.h> automatically includes the header files
<stdio.h> and <unctrl.h>.
Note that termattrs may be a macro.
