tigetflag(3XC)

NAME

tigetflag, tigetnum, tigetstr, tparm − return the value of a terminfo capability

#include <term.h>

int tigetflag (char ∗capname);

int tigetnum (char ∗capname);

char ∗tigetstr (char ∗capname);

char ∗tparm (char ∗cap, long p1, long p2, long p3,
long p4, long p5, long p6, long p7,
long p8, long p9);

capnameIs the name of the terminfo capability for which the value is required.

capIs a pointer to a string capability.

p1...p9Are the parameters to be instantiated.

The tigetflag(), tigetnum(), and tigetstr() functions return values for terminfo capabilities passed to them.

The following null-terminated arrays contain the capnames, the termcap codes and full C names for each of the terminfo variables.

char ∗boolnames, ∗boolcodes, ∗boolfnames
char ∗numnames, ∗numcodes, ∗numfnames
char ∗strnames, ∗strcodes, ∗strfnames

The tparm() function instantiates a parameterized string using nine arguments. The string is suitable for output processing by tputs().

On success, the tigetflg(), tigetnum(), and tigetstr() functions return the specified terminfo capability.

tigetflag() returns −1 if capname is not a Boolean capability.

tigetnum() returns −2 if capname is not a numeric capability.

tigetstr() returns (char ∗)−1 if capname is not a string capability.

On success, the tparm() function returns cap in a static buffer with the parameterization resolved. Otherwise, it returns a null pointer.

None.
