CURS_TERMATT(3X-SVR4)RISC/os Reference ManualURS_TERMATT(3X-SVR4)



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 termi-
     nal.  The number returned is in bits per second, for example
     9600, and is an integer.

     With the erasechar routine, the user's current erase charac-
     ter 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 scrol-
     ling 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 con-
     taining 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 multi-
     ple terminals.

     If a given terminal doesn't support a video attribute that
     an application program is trying to use, curses may substi-
     tute 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.
