SYNOPSIS#include <curses.h> int def_prog_mode(void);
int def_shell_mode(void); int reset_prog_mode(void);
int reset_shell_mode(void); int resetty(void);
int savetty(void); void getsyx(int y, int x);
void setsyx(int y, int x); int ripoffline(int line, int (*init)(WINDOW *, int));
int curs_set(int visibility);
int napms(int ms);
DESCRIPTIONThe following routines give low-level access to various curses capabilities. These routines typically are used inside library routines.
def_prog_mode, def_shell_modeThe def_prog_mode and def_shell_mode routines save the current terminal modes as the ‟program” (in curses) or ‟shell” (not in curses) state for use by the reset_prog_mode and reset_shell_mode routines. This is done automatically by initscr. There is one such save area for each screen context allocated by newterm.
reset_prog_mode, reset_shell_modeThe reset_prog_mode and reset_shell_mode routines restore the terminal to ‟program” (in curses) or ‟shell” (out of curses) state. These are done automatically by endwin(3X) and, after an endwin, by doupdate, so they normally are not called.
resetty, savettyThe resetty and savetty routines save and restore the state of the terminal modes. savetty saves the current state in a buffer and resetty restores the state to what it was at the last call to savetty.
getsyxThe getsyx routine returns the current coordinates of the virtual screen cursor in y and x. If leaveok is currently TRUE, then −1,−1 is returned. If lines have been removed from the top of the screen, using ripoffline, y and x include these lines; therefore, y and x should be used only as arguments for setsyx. Few applications will use this feature, most use getyx instead.
setsyxThe setsyx routine sets the virtual screen cursor to y, x. If y and x are both −1, then leaveok is set. The two routines getsyx and setsyx are designed to be used by a library routine, which manipulates curses windows but does not want to change the current position of the program's cursor. The library routine would call getsyx at the beginning, do its manipulation of its own windows, do a wnoutrefresh on its windows, call setsyx, and then call doupdate. Few applications will use this feature, most use wmove instead.
ripofflineThe ripoffline routine provides access to the same facility that slk_init [see curs_slk(3X)] uses to reduce the size of the screen. ripoffline must be called before initscr or newterm is called, to prepare these initial actions: • If line is positive, a line is removed from the top of stdscr. • if line is negative, a line is removed from the bottom. When the resulting initialization is done inside initscr, the routine init (supplied by the user) is called with two arguments: • a window pointer to the one-line window that has been allocated and • an integer with the number of columns in the window. Inside this initialization routine, the integer variables LINES and COLS (defined in <curses.h>) are not guaranteed to be accurate and wrefresh or doupdate must not be called. It is allowable to call wnoutrefresh during the initialization routine. ripoffline can be called up to five times before calling initscr or newterm.
curs_setThe curs_set routine sets the cursor state to invisible, normal, or very visible for visibility equal to 0, 1, or 2 respectively. If the terminal supports the visibility requested, the previous cursor state is returned; otherwise, ERR is returned.
napmsThe napms routine is used to sleep for ms milliseconds.
RETURN VALUEExcept for curs_set, these routines always return OK. curs_set returns the previous cursor state, or ERR if the requested visibility is not supported. X/Open defines no error conditions. In this implementation def_prog_mode, def_shell_mode, reset_prog_mode, reset_shell_mode return an error if the terminal was not initialized, or if the I/O call to obtain the terminal settings fails. ripoffline returns an error if the maximum number of ripped-off lines exceeds the maximum (NRIPS = 5).
NOTESNote that getsyx is a macro, so & is not necessary before the variables y and x. Older SVr4 man pages warn that the return value of curs_set ‟is currently incorrect”. This implementation gets it right, but it may be unwise to count on the correctness of the return value anywhere else. Both ncurses and SVr4 will call curs_set in endwin if curs_set has been called to make the cursor other than normal, i.e., either invisible or very visible. There is no way for ncurses to determine the initial cursor state to restore that.
PORTABILITYThe virtual screen functions setsyx and getsyx are not described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4. All other functions are as described in XSI Curses. The SVr4 documentation describes setsyx and getsyx as having return type int. This is misleading, as they are macros with no documented semantics for the return value.
