Curses Library Functions                  curstermattrs(3CURSES)



NAME
     curstermattrs,   baudrate,   erasechar,   hasic,   hasil,
     killchar, longname, termattrs, termname - curses environment
     query routines

SYNOPSIS
     cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lcurses [ library ... ]
     #include 

     int baudrate(void);


     char erasechar(void);


     int hasic(void);


     int hasil(void);


     char killchar(void);


     char *longname(void);


     chtype termattrs(void);


     char *termname(void);


DESCRIPTION
     The baudrate() routine returns the output speed of the  ter-
     minal.  The number returned is in bits per second, for exam-
     ple 9600, and is an integer.


     With the erasechar() routine, the user's current erase char-
     acter is returned.


     The hasic() routine is true if the terminal has insert- and
     delete-character capabilities.


     The hasil() 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
     containing  a  verbose  description of the current terminal.
     The maximum length of a verbose description is  128  charac-
     ters.  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 setterm(), so the value should be
     saved between calls to newterm() if longname() is  going  to
     be used with multiple 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 sup-
     ported 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  environment
     variable TERM (truncated to 14 characters).

RETURN VALUES
     longname() and termname() return NUL on error.


     Routines that return an integer return ER upon failure  and
     an integer value other than ER upon successful completion.
