curses(3CURSES)		   Curses Library Functions	       curses(3CURSES)

NAME
       curses - CRT screen handling and optimization package

SYNOPSIS
       cc [ flag... ] file.. .-lcurses [ library... ]
       #include <curses.h>

DESCRIPTION
       The curses library routines give the user a terminal-independent method
       of updating character screens with reasonable optimization.

       The curses package allows:  overall screen, window  and	pad  manipula‐
       tion;  output to windows and pads; reading terminal input; control over
       terminal and curses input and output options;  environment  query  rou‐
       tines; color manipulation; use of soft label keys; terminfo access; and
       access to low-level curses routines.

       To initialize the routines, the routine initscr() or newterm() must  be
       called  before  any  of	the  other routines that deal with windows and
       screens are used. The routine endwin() must be called  before  exiting.
       To  get	character-at-a-time  input  without echoing (most interactive,
       screen oriented programs want this), the following sequence  should  be
       used:

	      initscr,cbreak,noecho;

       Most programs would additionally use the sequence:

	      nonl,intrflush(stdscr,FALSE),keypad(stdscr,TRUE);

       Before a curses program is run, the tab stops of the terminal should be
       set and its initialization strings, if defined, must  be	 output.  This
       can be done by executing the tput init command after the shell environ‐
       ment variable TERM has been exported.   (See  terminfo(4)  for  further
       details.)

       The curses library permits manipulation of data structures, called win‐
       dows, which can be thought of as two-dimensional arrays	of  characters
       representing  all or part of a CRT screen. A default window called std‐
       scr, which is the size of the terminal screen, is supplied. Others  may
       be created with newwin(3CURSES).

       Windows	are  referred to by variables declared as WINDOW *. These data
       structures are manipulated with routines	 described  on	3CURSES	 pages
       (whose  names  begin  "curs_"). Among which the most basic routines are
       move(3CURSES) and addch(3CURSES). More general versions of  these  rou‐
       tines  are  included  with names beginning with w, allowing the user to
       specify a window. The routines not beginning with w affect stdscr.

       After using  routines  to  manipulate  a	 window,  refresh(3CURSES)  is
       called,	telling curses to make the user's CRT screen look like stdscr.
       The characters in a window are actually of type chtype, (character  and
       attribute  data) so that other information about the character may also
       be stored with each character.

       Special windows called pads may also be manipulated. These are  windows
       which  are not constrained to the size of the screen and whose contents
       need not be completely displayed. See curs_pad(3CURSES) for more infor‐
       mation.

       In  addition  to drawing characters on the screen, video attributes and
       colors may be included, causing the characters 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, curses is also able to translate arrow and func‐
       tion keys that transmit escape sequences into single values. The	 video
       attributes,  line  drawing  characters,	and  input  values  use names,
       defined in <curses.h>,  such as A_REVERSE, ACS_HLINE, and KEY_LEFT.

       If the environment variables LINES and COLUMNS are set, or if the  pro‐
       gram  is executing in a window environment, line and column information
       in the environment will override information  read  by  terminfo.  This
       would effect a program running in an AT&T 630 layer, for example, where
       the size of a screen is changeable.

       If the environment variable TERMINFO  is	 defined,  any	program	 using
       curses  checks  for  a local terminal definition before checking in the
       standard place. For example, if TERM is set to att4424, then  the  com‐
       piled terminal definition is found in

	      /usr/share/lib/terminfo/a/att4424.

       (The  `a'  is copied from the first letter of att4424 to avoid creation
       of huge directories.) However, if TERMINFO  is  set  to	$HOME/myterms,
       curses first checks

	      $HOME/myterms/a/att4424,

       and if that fails, it then checks

	      /usr/share/lib/terminfo/a/att4424.

       This  is	 useful	 for developing experimental definitions or when write
       permission in /usr/share/lib/terminfo is not available.

       The integer variables LINES and COLS are defined in <curses.h> and will
       be filled in by initscr with the size of the screen. The constants TRUE
       and FALSE have the values 1 and 0, respectively.

       The curses routines also define the WINDOW * variable curscr  which  is
       used  for  certain  low-level  operations like clearing and redrawing a
       screen containing garbage. The curscr can be used in only  a  few  rou‐
       tines.

   International Functions
       The  number of bytes and the number of columns to hold a character from
       the supplementary character set	is  locale-specific  (locale  category
       LC_CTYPE) and can be specified in the character class table.

       For  editing, operating at the character level is entirely appropriate.
       For screen formatting, arbitrary movement of characters	on  screen  is
       not desirable.

       Overwriting characters (addch, for example) operates on a screen level.
       Overwriting a character by a character that requires a different number
       of  columns  may	 produce  orphaned columns. These orphaned columns are
       filled with background characters.

       Inserting characters (insch, for example) operates on a character level
       (that  is,  at  the  character  boundaries). The specified character is
       inserted right before the character, regardless of which	 column	 of  a
       character  the  cursor points to. Before insertion, the cursor position
       is adjusted to the first column of the character.

       As with inserting characters, deleting characters (delch, for  example)
       operates	 on  a character level (that is, at the character boundaries).
       The character at the cursor is deleted whichever column of the  charac‐
       ter  the	 cursor	 points	 to.  Before  deletion, the cursor position is
       adjusted to the first column of the character.

       A multi-column character cannot be put on the last column  of  a	 line.
       When  such  attempts are made, the last column is set to the background
       character. In addition, when such an operation  creates	orphaned  col‐
       umns, the orphaned columns are filled with background characters.

       Overlapping and overwriting a window follows the operation of overwrit‐
       ing characters around its edge. The orphaned columns, if any, are  han‐
       dled as in the character operations.

       The  cursor is allowed to be placed anywhere in a window. If the inser‐
       tion or deletion is made when the cursor points to the second or	 later
       column  position of a character that holds multiple columns, the cursor
       is adjusted to the first column of the character before	the  insertion
       or deletion.

   Routine and Argument Names
       Many  curses  routines have two or more versions. The routines prefixed
       with w require a window argument. The routines prefixed with p  require
       a pad argument. Those without a prefix generally use stdscr.

       The  routines prefixed with mv require an x and y coordinate to move to
       before performing the appropriate action. The mv routines imply a  call
       to move(3CURSES) before the call to the other routine. The coordinate y
       always refers to the row (of the window), and x always  refers  to  the
       column. The upper left-hand corner is always (0,0), not (1,1).

       The  routines prefixed with mvw take both a window argument and x and y
       coordinates. The window argument is always specified before the coordi‐
       nates.

       In  each case, win is the window affected, and pad is the pad affected;
       win and pad are always pointers to type WINDOW

       Option setting routines require a Boolean flag bf with the  value  TRUE
       or  FALSE;  bf is always of type bool. The variables ch and attrs below
       are always of type chtype. The types WINDOW, SCREEN, bool,  and	chtype
       are  defined  in	 <curses.h>. The type TERMINAL is defined in <term.h>.
       All other arguments are integers.

RETURN VALUES
       Routines	 that return an integer return ERR upon failure and an integer
       value other than ERR upon successful completion, unless otherwise noted
       in the routine descriptions.

       All  macros  return  the	 value	of  the w version, except setscrreg(),
       wsetscrreg(), getyx(), getbegyx(), and getmaxyx(). The return values of
       setscrreg(),  wsetscrreg(),  getyx(),  getbegyx(),  and	getmaxyx() are
       undefined (that is, these should not be used as the right-hand side  of
       assignment statements).

       Routines that return pointers return NULL on error.
