| echochar, wechochar, or pechochar |
Functionally equivalent to a call to the addch (or waddch) subroutine followed by a call to the refresh (or wrefresh) subroutine. |
| flushinp
|
Flushes any type-ahead characters typed by the user but not yet read by the program. |
| insertln or winsertln
|
Inserts a blank line in a window. |
| keyname
|
Returns a pointer to a character string containing a symbolic name for the Key parameter. |
| meta |
Determines whether 8-bit character return for the wgetch subroutine is allowed. |
| nodelay |
Causes a call to the wgetch subroutine to be a nonblocking call. If no input is ready, the wgetch subroutine returns ERR. |
| scroll |
Scrolls a window up one line. |
| unctrl |
Returns the printable representation of a character. Control characters are punctuated with a ^ (caret). |
| vwprintw |
Performs the same operation as the wprintw subroutine but takes a variable list of arguments. |
| vwscanw |
Performs the same operation as the wscanw subroutine but takes a variable list of arguments. |
| def_prog_mode |
Identifies the current terminal mode as the in-curses mode. |
| def_shell_mode |
Saves the current terminal mode as the not-in-curses mode. |
| del_curterm |
Frees the space pointed to by the oterm variable. |
| notimeout |
Prevents the wgetch subroutine from setting a timer when interpreting an input escape sequence. |
| pechochar |
Equivalent to a call to the waddch subroutine followed by a call to the prefresh subroutine. |
| reset_prog_mode |
Restores the terminal into the in-curses program mode. |
| reset_shell_mode |
Restores the terminal to shell mode (out-of-curses mode). The endwin subroutine does this automatically. |
| restartterm |
Sets up a TERMINAL structure for use by curses. This subroutine is similar to the setupterm subroutine. Call the restartterm subroutine after restoring memory to a previous state. For example, call this subroutine after a call to the scr_restore subroutine. |
