| </PRE><H2><a name="h2-DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</a></H2><PRE> |
| The <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> library routines give the user a terminal-independent |
| method of updating character screens with reasonable optimization. |
| This implementation is "new curses" (ncurses) and is the approved |
| replacement for 4.4BSD classic curses, which has been discontinued. |
| This describes <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> version 6.2 (patch 20200212). |
| |
| The <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> library emulates the curses library of System V Release 4 |
| UNIX, and XPG4 (X/Open Portability Guide) curses (also known as XSI |
| curses). XSI stands for X/Open System Interfaces Extension. The |
| <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> library is freely redistributable in source form. Differences |
| from the SVr4 curses are summarized under the <STRONG>EXTENSIONS</STRONG> and <STRONG>PORTABIL-</STRONG> |
| <STRONG>ITY</STRONG> sections below and described in detail in the respective <STRONG>EXTEN-</STRONG> |
| <STRONG>SIONS</STRONG>, <STRONG>PORTABILITY</STRONG> and <STRONG>BUGS</STRONG> sections of individual man pages. |
| |
| The <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> library also provides many useful extensions, i.e., fea- |
| tures which cannot be implemented by a simple add-on library but which |
| require access to the internals of the library. |
| |
| A program using these routines must be linked with the <STRONG>-lncurses</STRONG> |
| option, or (if it has been generated) with the debugging library |
| <STRONG>-lncurses_g</STRONG>. (Your system integrator may also have installed these |
| libraries under the names <STRONG>-lcurses</STRONG> and <STRONG>-lcurses_g</STRONG>.) The ncurses_g |
| library generates trace logs (in a file called 'trace' in the current |
| directory) that describe curses actions. See also the section on |
| <STRONG>ALTERNATE</STRONG> <STRONG>CONFIGURATIONS</STRONG>. |
| |
| The <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> package supports: overall screen, window and pad manipula- |
| tion; output to windows and pads; reading terminal input; control over |
| terminal and <STRONG>curses</STRONG> input and output options; environment query rou- |
| tines; color manipulation; use of soft label keys; terminfo capabili- |
| ties; and access to low-level terminal-manipulation routines. |
| |
| |
| </PRE><H3><a name="h3-Initialization">Initialization</a></H3><PRE> |
| The library uses the locale which the calling program has initialized. |
| That is normally done with <STRONG>setlocale</STRONG>: |
| |
| <STRONG>setlocale(LC_ALL,</STRONG> <STRONG>"");</STRONG> |
| |
| If the locale is not initialized, the library assumes that characters |
| are printable as in ISO-8859-1, to work with certain legacy programs. |
| You should initialize the locale and not rely on specific details of |
| the library when the locale has not been setup. |
| |
| The function <STRONG>initscr</STRONG> or <STRONG>newterm</STRONG> must be called to initialize the |
| library before any of the other routines that deal with windows and |
| screens are used. The routine <STRONG><A HREF="curs_initscr.3x.html">endwin(3x)</A></STRONG> must be called before exit- |
| ing. |
| |
| To get character-at-a-time input without echoing (most interactive, |
| screen oriented programs want this), the following sequence should be |
| used: |
| |
| <STRONG>initscr();</STRONG> <STRONG>cbreak();</STRONG> <STRONG>noecho();</STRONG> |
| |
| Most programs would additionally use the sequence: |
| |
| <STRONG>nonl();</STRONG> |
| <STRONG>intrflush(stdscr,</STRONG> <STRONG>FALSE);</STRONG> |
| <STRONG>keypad(stdscr,</STRONG> <STRONG>TRUE);</STRONG> |
| |
| Before a <STRONG>curses</STRONG> 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 <STRONG>tput</STRONG> <STRONG>init</STRONG> command after the shell environ- |
| ment variable <STRONG>TERM</STRONG> has been exported. <STRONG>tset(1)</STRONG> is usually responsible |
| for doing this. [See <STRONG><A HREF="terminfo.5.html">terminfo(5)</A></STRONG> for further details.] |
| |
| |
| </PRE><H3><a name="h3-Datatypes">Datatypes</a></H3><PRE> |
| The <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> library permits manipulation of data structures, called |
| <EM>windows</EM>, which can be thought of as two-dimensional arrays of charac- |
| ters representing all or part of a CRT screen. A default window called |
| <STRONG>stdscr</STRONG>, which is the size of the terminal screen, is supplied. Others |
| may be created with <STRONG>newwin</STRONG>. |
| |
| Note that <STRONG>curses</STRONG> does not handle overlapping windows, that's done by |
| the <STRONG><A HREF="panel.3x.html">panel(3x)</A></STRONG> library. This means that you can either use <STRONG>stdscr</STRONG> or |
| divide the screen into tiled windows and not using <STRONG>stdscr</STRONG> at all. Mix- |
| ing the two will result in unpredictable, and undesired, effects. |
| |
| Windows are referred to by variables declared as <STRONG>WINDOW</STRONG> <STRONG>*</STRONG>. These data |
| structures are manipulated with routines described here and elsewhere |
| in the <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> manual pages. Among those, the most basic routines are |
| <STRONG>move</STRONG> and <STRONG>addch</STRONG>. More general versions of these routines are included |
| with names beginning with <STRONG>w</STRONG>, allowing the user to specify a window. |
| The routines not beginning with <STRONG>w</STRONG> affect <STRONG>stdscr</STRONG>. |
| |
| After using routines to manipulate a window, <STRONG><A HREF="curs_refresh.3x.html">refresh(3x)</A></STRONG> is called, |
| telling <STRONG>curses</STRONG> to make the user's CRT screen look like <STRONG>stdscr</STRONG>. The |
| characters in a window are actually of type <STRONG>chtype</STRONG>, (character and |
| attribute data) so that other information about the character may also |
| be stored with each character. |
| |
| Special windows called <EM>pads</EM> 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 <STRONG><A HREF="curs_pad.3x.html">curs_pad(3x)</A></STRONG> for more informa- |
| tion. |
| |
| In addition to drawing characters on the screen, video attributes and |
| colors may be supported, 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, <STRONG>curses</STRONG> is also able to translate |
| arrow and function keys that transmit escape sequences into single val- |
| ues. The video attributes, line drawing characters, and input values |
| use names, defined in <STRONG><curses.h></STRONG>, such as <STRONG>A_REVERSE</STRONG>, <STRONG>ACS_HLINE</STRONG>, and |
| <STRONG>KEY_LEFT</STRONG>. |
| |
| |
| </PRE><H3><a name="h3-Environment-variables">Environment variables</a></H3><PRE> |
| If the environment variables <STRONG>LINES</STRONG> and <STRONG>COLUMNS</STRONG> 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 <EM>terminfo</EM>. This |
| would affect a program running in an AT&T 630 layer, for example, where |
| the size of a screen is changeable (see <STRONG>ENVIRONMENT</STRONG>). |
| |
| If the environment variable <STRONG>TERMINFO</STRONG> is defined, any program using |
| <STRONG>curses</STRONG> checks for a local terminal definition before checking in the |
| standard place. For example, if <STRONG>TERM</STRONG> is set to <STRONG>att4424</STRONG>, then the com- |
| piled terminal definition is found in |
| |
| <STRONG>/usr/share/terminfo/a/att4424</STRONG>. |
| |
| (The <STRONG>a</STRONG> is copied from the first letter of <STRONG>att4424</STRONG> to avoid creation of |
| huge directories.) However, if <STRONG>TERMINFO</STRONG> is set to <STRONG>$HOME/myterms</STRONG>, |
| <STRONG>curses</STRONG> first checks |
| |
| <STRONG>$HOME/myterms/a/att4424</STRONG>, |
| |
| and if that fails, it then checks |
| |
| <STRONG>/usr/share/terminfo/a/att4424</STRONG>. |
| |
| This is useful for developing experimental definitions or when write |
| permission in <STRONG>/usr/share/terminfo</STRONG> is not available. |
| |
| The integer variables <STRONG>LINES</STRONG> and <STRONG>COLS</STRONG> are defined in <STRONG><curses.h></STRONG> and will |
| be filled in by <STRONG>initscr</STRONG> with the size of the screen. The constants |
| <STRONG>TRUE</STRONG> and <STRONG>FALSE</STRONG> have the values <STRONG>1</STRONG> and <STRONG>0</STRONG>, respectively. |
| |
| The <STRONG>curses</STRONG> routines also define the <STRONG>WINDOW</STRONG> <STRONG>*</STRONG> variable <STRONG>curscr</STRONG> which is |
| used for certain low-level operations like clearing and redrawing a |
| screen containing garbage. The <STRONG>curscr</STRONG> can be used in only a few rou- |
| tines. |
| |
| |
| </PRE><H3><a name="h3-Routine-and-Argument-Names">Routine and Argument Names</a></H3><PRE> |
| Many <STRONG>curses</STRONG> routines have two or more versions. The routines prefixed |
| with <STRONG>w</STRONG> require a window argument. The routines prefixed with <STRONG>p</STRONG> require |
| a pad argument. Those without a prefix generally use <STRONG>stdscr</STRONG>. |
| |
| The routines prefixed with <STRONG>mv</STRONG> require a <EM>y</EM> and <EM>x</EM> coordinate to move to |
| before performing the appropriate action. The <STRONG>mv</STRONG> routines imply a call |
| to <STRONG>move</STRONG> before the call to the other routine. The coordinate <EM>y</EM> always |
| refers to the row (of the window), and <EM>x</EM> always refers to the column. |
| The upper left-hand corner is always (0,0), not (1,1). |
| |
| The routines prefixed with <STRONG>mvw</STRONG> take both a window argument and <EM>x</EM> and <EM>y</EM> |
| coordinates. The window argument is always specified before the coor- |
| dinates. |
| |
| In each case, <EM>win</EM> is the window affected, and <EM>pad</EM> is the pad affected; |
| <EM>win</EM> and <EM>pad</EM> are always pointers to type <STRONG>WINDOW</STRONG>. |
| |
| Option setting routines require a Boolean flag <EM>bf</EM> with the value <STRONG>TRUE</STRONG> |
| or <STRONG>FALSE</STRONG>; <EM>bf</EM> is always of type <STRONG>bool</STRONG>. Most of the data types used in |
| the library routines, such as <STRONG>WINDOW</STRONG>, <STRONG>SCREEN</STRONG>, <STRONG>bool</STRONG>, and <STRONG>chtype</STRONG> are |
| defined in <STRONG><curses.h></STRONG>. Types used for the terminfo routines such as |
| <STRONG>TERMINAL</STRONG> are defined in <STRONG><term.h></STRONG>. |
| |
| This manual page describes functions which may appear in any configura- |
| tion of the library. There are two common configurations of the |
| library: |
| |
| <EM>ncurses</EM> |
| the "normal" library, which handles 8-bit characters. The nor- |
| mal (8-bit) library stores characters combined with attributes |
| in <STRONG>chtype</STRONG> data. |
| |
| Attributes alone (no corresponding character) may be stored in |
| <STRONG>chtype</STRONG> or the equivalent <STRONG>attr_t</STRONG> data. In either case, the data |
| is stored in something like an integer. |
| |
| Each cell (row and column) in a <STRONG>WINDOW</STRONG> is stored as a <STRONG>chtype</STRONG>. |
| |
| <EM>ncursesw</EM> |
| the so-called "wide" library, which handles multibyte charac- |
| ters (see the section on <STRONG>ALTERNATE</STRONG> <STRONG>CONFIGURATIONS</STRONG>). The "wide" |
| library includes all of the calls from the "normal" library. |
| It adds about one third more calls using data types which store |
| multibyte characters: |
| |
| <STRONG>cchar_t</STRONG> |
| corresponds to <STRONG>chtype</STRONG>. However it is a structure, because |
| more data is stored than can fit into an integer. The |
| characters are large enough to require a full integer |
| value - and there may be more than one character per cell. |
| The video attributes and color are stored in separate |
| fields of the structure. |
| |
| Each cell (row and column) in a <STRONG>WINDOW</STRONG> is stored as a |
| <STRONG>cchar_t</STRONG>. |
| |
| The <STRONG><A HREF="setcchar.3x.html">setcchar(3x)</A></STRONG> and <STRONG><A HREF="getcchar.3x.html">getcchar(3x)</A></STRONG> functions store and |
| retrieve the data from a <STRONG>cchar_t</STRONG> structure. |
| |
| <STRONG>wchar_t</STRONG> |
| stores a "wide" character. Like <STRONG>chtype</STRONG>, this may be an |
| integer. |
| |
| <STRONG>wint_t</STRONG> |
| stores a <STRONG>wchar_t</STRONG> or <STRONG>WEOF</STRONG> - not the same, though both may |
| have the same size. |
| |
| The "wide" library provides new functions which are analogous |
| to functions in the "normal" library. There is a naming con- |
| vention which relates many of the normal/wide variants: a "_w" |
| is inserted into the name. For example, <STRONG>waddch</STRONG> becomes |
| <STRONG>wadd_wch</STRONG>. |

| </PRE><H2><a name="h2-RETURN-VALUE">RETURN VALUE</a></H2><PRE> |
| Routines that return an integer return <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon failure and an integer |
| value other than <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon successful completion, unless otherwise noted |
| in the routine descriptions. |
| |
| As a general rule, routines check for null pointers passed as parame- |
| ters, and handle this as an error. |
| |
| All macros return the value of the <STRONG>w</STRONG> version, except <STRONG>setscrreg</STRONG>, |
| <STRONG>wsetscrreg</STRONG>, <STRONG>getyx</STRONG>, <STRONG>getbegyx</STRONG>, and <STRONG>getmaxyx</STRONG>. The return values of |
| <STRONG>setscrreg</STRONG>, <STRONG>wsetscrreg</STRONG>, <STRONG>getyx</STRONG>, <STRONG>getbegyx</STRONG>, and <STRONG>getmaxyx</STRONG> are undefined |
| (i.e., these should not be used as the right-hand side of assignment |
| statements). |
| |
| Routines that return pointers return <STRONG>NULL</STRONG> on error. |
| |
| |
| </PRE><H2><a name="h2-ENVIRONMENT">ENVIRONMENT</a></H2><PRE> |
| The following environment symbols are useful for customizing the run- |
| time behavior of the <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> library. The most important ones have |
| been already discussed in detail. |
| |
| |
| </PRE><H3><a name="h3-CC-command-character">CC command-character</a></H3><PRE> |
| When set, change occurrences of the command_character (i.e., the <STRONG>cmdch</STRONG> |
| capability) of the loaded terminfo entries to the value of this vari- |
| able. Very few terminfo entries provide this feature. |
| |
| Because this name is also used in development environments to represent |
| the C compiler's name, <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> ignores it if it does not happen to be a |
| single character. |
| |
| |
| </PRE><H3><a name="h3-BAUDRATE">BAUDRATE</a></H3><PRE> |
| The debugging library checks this environment variable when the appli- |
| cation has redirected output to a file. The variable's numeric value |
| is used for the baudrate. If no value is found, <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> uses 9600. |
| This allows testers to construct repeatable test-cases that take into |
| account costs that depend on baudrate. |
| |
| |
| </PRE><H3><a name="h3-COLUMNS">COLUMNS</a></H3><PRE> |
| Specify the width of the screen in characters. Applications running in |
| a windowing environment usually are able to obtain the width of the |
| window in which they are executing. If neither the <STRONG>COLUMNS</STRONG> value nor |
| the terminal's screen size is available, <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> uses the size which |
| may be specified in the terminfo database (i.e., the <STRONG>cols</STRONG> capability). |
| |
| It is important that your application use a correct size for the |
| screen. This is not always possible because your application may be |
| running on a host which does not honor NAWS (Negotiations About Window |
| Size), or because you are temporarily running as another user. How- |
| ever, setting <STRONG>COLUMNS</STRONG> and/or <STRONG>LINES</STRONG> overrides the library's use of the |
| screen size obtained from the operating system. |
| |
| Either <STRONG>COLUMNS</STRONG> or <STRONG>LINES</STRONG> symbols may be specified independently. This |
| is mainly useful to circumvent legacy misfeatures of terminal descrip- |
| tions, e.g., xterm which commonly specifies a 65 line screen. For best |
| results, <STRONG>lines</STRONG> and <STRONG>cols</STRONG> should not be specified in a terminal descrip- |
| tion for terminals which are run as emulations. |
| |
| Use the <STRONG>use_env</STRONG> function to disable all use of external environment |
| (but not including system calls) to determine the screen size. Use the |
| <STRONG>use_tioctl</STRONG> function to update <STRONG>COLUMNS</STRONG> or <STRONG>LINES</STRONG> to match the screen size |
| obtained from system calls or the terminal database. |
| |
| |
| </PRE><H3><a name="h3-ESCDELAY">ESCDELAY</a></H3><PRE> |
| Specifies the total time, in milliseconds, for which ncurses will await |
| a character sequence, e.g., a function key. The default value, 1000 |
| milliseconds, is enough for most uses. However, it is made a variable |
| to accommodate unusual applications. |
| |
| The most common instance where you may wish to change this value is to |
| work with slow hosts, e.g., running on a network. If the host cannot |
| read characters rapidly enough, it will have the same effect as if the |
| terminal did not send characters rapidly enough. The library will |
| still see a timeout. |
| |
| Note that xterm mouse events are built up from character sequences |
| received from the xterm. If your application makes heavy use of multi- |
| ple-clicking, you may wish to lengthen this default value because the |
| timeout applies to the composed multi-click event as well as the indi- |
| vidual clicks. |
| |
| In addition to the environment variable, this implementation provides a |
| global variable with the same name. Portable applications should not |
| rely upon the presence of ESCDELAY in either form, but setting the |
| environment variable rather than the global variable does not create |
| problems when compiling an application. |
| |
| |
| </PRE><H3><a name="h3-HOME">HOME</a></H3><PRE> |
| Tells <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> where your home directory is. That is where it may read |
| and write auxiliary terminal descriptions: |
| |
| $HOME/.termcap |
| $HOME/.terminfo |
| |
| |
| </PRE><H3><a name="h3-LINES">LINES</a></H3><PRE> |
| Like COLUMNS, specify the height of the screen in characters. See COL- |
| UMNS for a detailed description. |
| |
| |
| </PRE><H3><a name="h3-MOUSE_BUTTONS_123">MOUSE_BUTTONS_123</a></H3><PRE> |
| This applies only to the OS/2 EMX port. It specifies the order of but- |
| tons on the mouse. OS/2 numbers a 3-button mouse inconsistently from |
| other platforms: |
| |
| 1 = left |
| 2 = right |
| 3 = middle. |
| |
| This variable lets you customize the mouse. The variable must be three |
| numeric digits 1-3 in any order, e.g., 123 or 321. If it is not speci- |
| fied, <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> uses 132. |
| |
| |
| </PRE><H3><a name="h3-NCURSES_ASSUMED_COLORS">NCURSES_ASSUMED_COLORS</a></H3><PRE> |
| Override the compiled-in assumption that the terminal's default colors |
| are white-on-black (see <STRONG><A HREF="default_colors.3x.html">default_colors(3x)</A></STRONG>). You may set the fore- |
| ground and background color values with this environment variable by |
| proving a 2-element list: foreground,background. For example, to tell |
| ncurses to not assume anything about the colors, set this to "-1,-1". |
| To make it green-on-black, set it to "2,0". Any positive value from |
| zero to the terminfo <STRONG>max_colors</STRONG> value is allowed. |
| |
| |
| </PRE><H3><a name="h3-NCURSES_CONSOLE2">NCURSES_CONSOLE2</a></H3><PRE> |
| This applies only to the MinGW port of ncurses. |
| |
| The <STRONG>Console2</STRONG> program's handling of the Microsoft Console API call <STRONG>Cre-</STRONG> |
| <STRONG>ateConsoleScreenBuffer</STRONG> is defective. Applications which use this will |
| hang. However, it is possible to simulate the action of this call by |
| mapping coordinates, explicitly saving and restoring the original |
| screen contents. Setting the environment variable <STRONG>NCGDB</STRONG> has the same |
| effect. |
| |
| |
| </PRE><H3><a name="h3-NCURSES_GPM_TERMS">NCURSES_GPM_TERMS</a></H3><PRE> |
| This applies only to ncurses configured to use the GPM interface. |
| |
| If present, the environment variable is a list of one or more terminal |
| names against which the <STRONG>TERM</STRONG> environment variable is matched. Setting |
| it to an empty value disables the GPM interface; using the built-in |
| support for xterm, etc. |
| |
| If the environment variable is absent, ncurses will attempt to open GPM |
| if <STRONG>TERM</STRONG> contains "linux". |
| |
| |
| </PRE><H3><a name="h3-NCURSES_NO_HARD_TABS">NCURSES_NO_HARD_TABS</a></H3><PRE> |
| <STRONG>Ncurses</STRONG> may use tabs as part of the cursor movement optimization. In |
| some cases, your terminal driver may not handle these properly. Set |
| this environment variable to disable the feature. You can also adjust |
| your <STRONG>stty</STRONG> settings to avoid the problem. |
| |
| |
| </PRE><H3><a name="h3-NCURSES_NO_MAGIC_COOKIE">NCURSES_NO_MAGIC_COOKIE</a></H3><PRE> |
| Some terminals use a magic-cookie feature which requires special han- |
| dling to make highlighting and other video attributes display properly. |
| You can suppress the highlighting entirely for these terminals by set- |
| ting this environment variable. |
| |
| |
| </PRE><H3><a name="h3-NCURSES_NO_PADDING">NCURSES_NO_PADDING</a></H3><PRE> |
| Most of the terminal descriptions in the terminfo database are written |
| for real "hardware" terminals. Many people use terminal emulators |
| which run in a windowing environment and use curses-based applications. |
| Terminal emulators can duplicate all of the important aspects of a |
| hardware terminal, but they do not have the same limitations. The |
| chief limitation of a hardware terminal from the standpoint of your |
| application is the management of dataflow, i.e., timing. Unless a |
| hardware terminal is interfaced into a terminal concentrator (which |
| does flow control), it (or your application) must manage dataflow, pre- |
| venting overruns. The cheapest solution (no hardware cost) is for your |
| program to do this by pausing after operations that the terminal does |
| slowly, such as clearing the display. |
| |
| As a result, many terminal descriptions (including the vt100) have |
| delay times embedded. You may wish to use these descriptions, but not |
| want to pay the performance penalty. |
| |
| Set the NCURSES_NO_PADDING environment variable to disable all but |
| mandatory padding. Mandatory padding is used as a part of special con- |
| trol sequences such as <EM>flash</EM>. |

| This setting is obsolete. Before changes |
| |
| <STRONG>o</STRONG> started with 5.9 patch 20120825 and |
| |
| <STRONG>o</STRONG> continued though 5.9 patch 20130126 |
| |
| <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> enabled buffered output during terminal initialization. This |
| was done (as in SVr4 curses) for performance reasons. For testing pur- |
| poses, both of <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> and certain applications, this feature was made |
| optional. Setting the NCURSES_NO_SETBUF variable disabled output |
| buffering, leaving the output in the original (usually line buffered) |
| mode. |
| |
| In the current implementation, ncurses performs its own buffering and |
| does not require this workaround. It does not modify the buffering of |
| the standard output. |
| |
| The reason for the change was to make the behavior for interrupts and |
| other signals more robust. One drawback is that certain nonconven- |
| tional programs would mix ordinary stdio calls with ncurses calls and |
| (usually) work. This is no longer possible since ncurses is not using |
| the buffered standard output but its own output (to the same file |
| descriptor). As a special case, the low-level calls such as <STRONG>putp</STRONG> still |
| use the standard output. But high-level curses calls do not. |
| |
| |
| </PRE><H3><a name="h3-NCURSES_NO_UTF8_ACS">NCURSES_NO_UTF8_ACS</a></H3><PRE> |
| During initialization, the <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> library checks for special cases |
| where VT100 line-drawing (and the corresponding alternate character set |
| capabilities) described in the terminfo are known to be missing. |
| Specifically, when running in a UTF-8 locale, the Linux console emula- |
| tor and the GNU screen program ignore these. Ncurses checks the <STRONG>TERM</STRONG> |
| environment variable for these. For other special cases, you should |
| set this environment variable. Doing this tells ncurses to use Unicode |
| values which correspond to the VT100 line-drawing glyphs. That works |
| for the special cases cited, and is likely to work for terminal emula- |
| tors. |
| |
| When setting this variable, you should set it to a nonzero value. Set- |
| ting it to zero (or to a nonnumber) disables the special check for |
| "linux" and "screen". |
| |
| As an alternative to the environment variable, ncurses checks for an |
| extended terminfo capability <STRONG>U8</STRONG>. This is a numeric capability which |
| can be compiled using <STRONG>tic</STRONG> <STRONG>-x</STRONG>. For example |
| |
| # linux console, if patched to provide working |
| # VT100 shift-in/shift-out, with corresponding font. |
| linux-vt100|linux console with VT100 line-graphics, |
| U8#0, use=linux, |
| |
| # uxterm with vt100Graphics resource set to false |
| xterm-utf8|xterm relying on UTF-8 line-graphics, |
| U8#1, use=xterm, |
| |
| The name "U8" is chosen to be two characters, to permit it to be used |
| by applications that use ncurses' termcap interface. |
| |
| |
| </PRE><H3><a name="h3-NCURSES_TRACE">NCURSES_TRACE</a></H3><PRE> |
| During initialization, the <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> debugging library checks the |
| NCURSES_TRACE environment variable. If it is defined, to a numeric |
| value, <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> calls the <STRONG>trace</STRONG> function, using that value as the argu- |
| ment. |
| |
| The argument values, which are defined in <STRONG>curses.h</STRONG>, provide several |
| types of information. When running with traces enabled, your applica- |
| tion will write the file <STRONG>trace</STRONG> to the current directory. |
| |
| See <STRONG><A HREF="curs_trace.3x.html">curs_trace(3x)</A></STRONG> for more information. |
| |
| |
| </PRE><H3><a name="h3-TERM">TERM</a></H3><PRE> |
| Denotes your terminal type. Each terminal type is distinct, though |
| many are similar. |
| |
| <STRONG>TERM</STRONG> is commonly set by terminal emulators to help applications find a |
| workable terminal description. Some of those choose a popular approxi- |
| mation, e.g., "ansi", "vt100", "xterm" rather than an exact fit. Not |
| infrequently, your application will have problems with that approach, |
| e.g., incorrect function-key definitions. |
| |
| If you set <STRONG>TERM</STRONG> in your environment, it has no effect on the operation |
| of the terminal emulator. It only affects the way applications work |
| within the terminal. Likewise, as a general rule (<STRONG>xterm</STRONG> being a rare |
| exception), terminal emulators which allow you to specify <STRONG>TERM</STRONG> as a |
| parameter or configuration value do not change their behavior to match |
| that setting. |
| |
| |
| </PRE><H3><a name="h3-TERMCAP">TERMCAP</a></H3><PRE> |
| If the <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> library has been configured with <EM>termcap</EM> support, |
| <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> will check for a terminal's description in termcap form if it |
| is not available in the terminfo database. |
| |
| The <STRONG>TERMCAP</STRONG> environment variable contains either a terminal description |
| (with newlines stripped out), or a file name telling where the informa- |
| tion denoted by the <STRONG>TERM</STRONG> environment variable exists. In either case, |
| setting it directs <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> to ignore the usual place for this informa- |
| tion, e.g., /etc/termcap. |
| |
| |
| </PRE><H3><a name="h3-TERMINFO">TERMINFO</a></H3><PRE> |
| <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> can be configured to read from multiple terminal databases. |
| The <STRONG>TERMINFO</STRONG> variable overrides the location for the default terminal |
| database. Terminal descriptions (in terminal format) are stored in |
| terminal databases: |
| |
| <STRONG>o</STRONG> Normally these are stored in a directory tree, using subdirectories |
| named by the first letter of the terminal names therein. |
| |
| This is the scheme used in System V, which legacy Unix systems use, |
| and the <STRONG>TERMINFO</STRONG> variable is used by <EM>curses</EM> applications on those |
| systems to override the default location of the terminal database. |
| |
| <STRONG>o</STRONG> If <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> is built to use hashed databases, then each entry in |
| this list may be the path of a hashed database file, e.g., |
| |
| /usr/share/terminfo.db |
| |
| rather than |
| |
| /usr/share/terminfo/ |
| |
| The hashed database uses less disk-space and is a little faster |
| than the directory tree. However, some applications assume the |
| existence of the directory tree, reading it directly rather than |
| using the terminfo library calls. |
| |
| <STRONG>o</STRONG> If <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> is built with a support for reading termcap files |
| directly, then an entry in this list may be the path of a termcap |
| file. |
| |
| <STRONG>o</STRONG> If the <STRONG>TERMINFO</STRONG> variable begins with "hex:" or "b64:", <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> uses |
| the remainder of that variable as a compiled terminal description. |
| You might produce the base64 format using <STRONG><A HREF="infocmp.1m.html">infocmp(1m)</A></STRONG>: |
| |
| TERMINFO="$(infocmp -0 -Q2 -q)" |
| export TERMINFO |
| |
| The compiled description is used if it corresponds to the terminal |
| identified by the <STRONG>TERM</STRONG> variable. |
| |
| Setting <STRONG>TERMINFO</STRONG> is the simplest, but not the only way to set location |
| of the default terminal database. The complete list of database loca- |
| tions in order follows: |
| |
| <STRONG>o</STRONG> the last terminal database to which <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> wrote, if any, is |
| searched first |
| |
| <STRONG>o</STRONG> the location specified by the TERMINFO environment variable |
| |
| <STRONG>o</STRONG> $HOME/.terminfo |
| |
| <STRONG>o</STRONG> locations listed in the TERMINFO_DIRS environment variable |
| |
| <STRONG>o</STRONG> one or more locations whose names are configured and compiled |
| into the ncurses library, i.e., |
| |
| <STRONG>o</STRONG> /usr/local/ncurses/share/terminfo:/usr/share/terminfo (corre- |
| sponding to the TERMINFO_DIRS variable) |
| |
| <STRONG>o</STRONG> /usr/share/terminfo (corresponding to the TERMINFO variable) |
| |
| |
| </PRE><H3><a name="h3-TERMINFO_DIRS">TERMINFO_DIRS</a></H3><PRE> |
| Specifies a list of locations to search for terminal descriptions. |
| Each location in the list is a terminal database as described in the |
| section on the <STRONG>TERMINFO</STRONG> variable. The list is separated by colons |
| (i.e., ":") on Unix, semicolons on OS/2 EMX. |
| |
| There is no corresponding feature in System V terminfo; it is an exten- |
| sion developed for <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG>. |
| |
| |
| </PRE><H3><a name="h3-TERMPATH">TERMPATH</a></H3><PRE> |
| If <STRONG>TERMCAP</STRONG> does not hold a file name then <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> checks the <STRONG>TERMPATH</STRONG> |
| environment variable. This is a list of filenames separated by spaces |
| or colons (i.e., ":") on Unix, semicolons on OS/2 EMX. |
| |
| If the <STRONG>TERMPATH</STRONG> environment variable is not set, <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> looks in the |
| files |
| |
| /etc/termcap, /usr/share/misc/termcap and $HOME/.termcap, |
| |
| in that order. |
| |
| The library may be configured to disregard the following variables when |
| the current user is the superuser (root), or if the application uses |
| setuid or setgid permissions: |
| |
| $TERMINFO, $TERMINFO_DIRS, $TERMPATH, as well as $HOME. |
| |
| |
| </PRE><H2><a name="h2-ALTERNATE-CONFIGURATIONS">ALTERNATE CONFIGURATIONS</a></H2><PRE> |
| Several different configurations are possible, depending on the config- |
| ure script options used when building <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG>. There are a few main |
| options whose effects are visible to the applications developer using |
| <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG>: |
| |
| --disable-overwrite |
| The standard include for <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> is as noted in <STRONG>SYNOPSIS</STRONG>: |
| |
| <STRONG>#include</STRONG> <STRONG><curses.h></STRONG> |
| |
| This option is used to avoid filename conflicts when <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> is |
| not the main implementation of curses of the computer. If <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> |
| is installed disabling overwrite, it puts its headers in a subdi- |
| rectory, e.g., |
| |
| <STRONG>#include</STRONG> <STRONG><ncurses/curses.h></STRONG> |
| |
| It also omits a symbolic link which would allow you to use |
| <STRONG>-lcurses</STRONG> to build executables. |
| |
| --enable-widec |
| The configure script renames the library and (if the <STRONG>--dis-</STRONG> |
| <STRONG>able-overwrite</STRONG> option is used) puts the header files in a differ- |
| ent subdirectory. All of the library names have a "w" appended to |
| them, i.e., instead of |
| |
| <STRONG>-lncurses</STRONG> |
| |
| you link with |
| |
| <STRONG>-lncursesw</STRONG> |
| |
| You must also enable the wide-character features in the header |
| file when compiling for the wide-character library to use the |
| extended (wide-character) functions. The symbol which enables |
| these features has changed since XSI Curses, Issue 4: |
| |
| <STRONG>o</STRONG> Originally, the wide-character feature required the symbol |
| <STRONG>_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED</STRONG> but that was only valid for XPG4 |
| (1996). |
| |
| <STRONG>o</STRONG> Later, that was deemed conflicting with <STRONG>_XOPEN_SOURCE</STRONG> defined |
| to 500. |
| |
| <STRONG>o</STRONG> As of mid-2018, none of the features in this implementation |
| require a <STRONG>_XOPEN_SOURCE</STRONG> feature greater than 600. However, |
| X/Open Curses, Issue 7 (2009) recommends defining it to 700. |
| |
| <STRONG>o</STRONG> Alternatively, you can enable the feature by defining |
| <STRONG>NCURSES_WIDECHAR</STRONG> with the caveat that some other header file |
| than <STRONG>curses.h</STRONG> may require a specific value for <STRONG>_XOPEN_SOURCE</STRONG> |
| (or a system-specific symbol). |
| |
| The <STRONG>curses.h</STRONG> file which is installed for the wide-character |
| library is designed to be compatible with the normal library's |
| header. Only the size of the <STRONG>WINDOW</STRONG> structure differs, and very |
| few applications require more than a pointer to <STRONG>WINDOW</STRONG>s. |
| |
| If the headers are installed allowing overwrite, the wide-charac- |
| ter library's headers should be installed last, to allow applica- |
| tions to be built using either library from the same set of head- |
| ers. |
| |
| --with-pthread |
| The configure script renames the library. All of the library |
| names have a "t" appended to them (before any "w" added by |
| <STRONG>--enable-widec</STRONG>). |
| |
| The global variables such as <STRONG>LINES</STRONG> are replaced by macros to allow |
| read-only access. At the same time, setter-functions are provided |
| to set these values. Some applications (very few) may require |
| changes to work with this convention. |
| |
| --with-shared |
| |
| --with-normal |
| |
| --with-debug |
| |
| --with-profile |
| The shared and normal (static) library names differ by their suf- |
| fixes, e.g., <STRONG>libncurses.so</STRONG> and <STRONG>libncurses.a</STRONG>. The debug and pro- |
| filing libraries add a "_g" and a "_p" to the root names respec- |
| tively, e.g., <STRONG>libncurses_g.a</STRONG> and <STRONG>libncurses_p.a</STRONG>. |
| |
| --with-trace |
| The <STRONG>trace</STRONG> function normally resides in the debug library, but it |
| is sometimes useful to configure this in the shared library. Con- |
| figure scripts should check for the function's existence rather |
| than assuming it is always in the debug library. |

| The <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> library can be compiled with an option (<STRONG>-DUSE_GETCAP</STRONG>) that |
| falls back to the old-style /etc/termcap file if the terminal setup |
| code cannot find a terminfo entry corresponding to <STRONG>TERM</STRONG>. Use of this |
| feature is not recommended, as it essentially includes an entire term- |
| cap compiler in the <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> startup code, at significant cost in core |
| and startup cycles. |
| |
| The <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> library includes facilities for capturing mouse events on |
| certain terminals (including xterm). See the <STRONG><A HREF="curs_mouse.3x.html">curs_mouse(3x)</A></STRONG> manual |
| page for details. |
| |
| The <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> library includes facilities for responding to window resiz- |
| ing events, e.g., when running in an xterm. See the <STRONG><A HREF="resizeterm.3x.html">resizeterm(3x)</A></STRONG> and |
| <STRONG><A HREF="wresize.3x.html">wresize(3x)</A></STRONG> manual pages for details. In addition, the library may be |
| configured with a <STRONG>SIGWINCH</STRONG> handler. |
| |
| The <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> library extends the fixed set of function key capabilities |
| of terminals by allowing the application designer to define additional |
| key sequences at runtime. See the <STRONG><A HREF="define_key.3x.html">define_key(3x)</A></STRONG> <STRONG><A HREF="key_defined.3x.html">key_defined(3x)</A></STRONG>, and |

| |
| The <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> library can exploit the capabilities of terminals which |
| implement the ISO-6429 SGR 39 and SGR 49 controls, which allow an |
| application to reset the terminal to its original foreground and back- |
| ground colors. From the users' perspective, the application is able to |
| draw colored text on a background whose color is set independently, |
| providing better control over color contrasts. See the <STRONG>default_col-</STRONG> |
| <STRONG><A HREF="default_colors.3x.html">ors(3x)</A></STRONG> manual page for details. |
| |
| The <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> library includes a function for directing application out- |
| put to a printer attached to the terminal device. See the |
| <STRONG><A HREF="curs_print.3x.html">curs_print(3x)</A></STRONG> manual page for details. |
| |

| The <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> library is intended to be BASE-level conformant with XSI |
| Curses. The EXTENDED XSI Curses functionality (including color sup- |
| port) is supported. |
| |
| A small number of local differences (that is, individual differences |
| between the XSI Curses and <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> calls) are described in <STRONG>PORTABILITY</STRONG> |
| sections of the library man pages. |
| |
| Unlike other implementations, this one checks parameters such as point- |
| ers to WINDOW structures to ensure they are not null. The main reason |
| for providing this behavior is to guard against programmer error. The |
| standard interface does not provide a way for the library to tell an |
| application which of several possible errors were detected. Relying on |
| this (or some other) extension will adversely affect the portability of |
| curses applications. |
| |
| This implementation also contains several extensions: |
| |
| <STRONG>o</STRONG> The routine <STRONG>has_key</STRONG> is not part of XPG4, nor is it present in SVr4. |
| See the <STRONG><A HREF="curs_getch.3x.html">curs_getch(3x)</A></STRONG> manual page for details. |
| |
| <STRONG>o</STRONG> The routine <STRONG>slk_attr</STRONG> is not part of XPG4, nor is it present in |
| SVr4. See the <STRONG><A HREF="curs_slk.3x.html">curs_slk(3x)</A></STRONG> manual page for details. |
| |
| <STRONG>o</STRONG> The routines <STRONG>getmouse</STRONG>, <STRONG>mousemask</STRONG>, <STRONG>ungetmouse</STRONG>, <STRONG>mouseinterval</STRONG>, and |
| <STRONG>wenclose</STRONG> relating to mouse interfacing are not part of XPG4, nor |
| are they present in SVr4. See the <STRONG><A HREF="curs_mouse.3x.html">curs_mouse(3x)</A></STRONG> manual page for |
| details. |
| |
| <STRONG>o</STRONG> The routine <STRONG>mcprint</STRONG> was not present in any previous curses imple- |
| mentation. See the <STRONG><A HREF="curs_print.3x.html">curs_print(3x)</A></STRONG> manual page for details. |
| |
| <STRONG>o</STRONG> The routine <STRONG>wresize</STRONG> is not part of XPG4, nor is it present in SVr4. |
| See the <STRONG><A HREF="wresize.3x.html">wresize(3x)</A></STRONG> manual page for details. |
| |
| <STRONG>o</STRONG> The WINDOW structure's internal details can be hidden from applica- |
| tion programs. See <STRONG><A HREF="curs_opaque.3x.html">curs_opaque(3x)</A></STRONG> for the discussion of <STRONG>is_scrol-</STRONG> |
| <STRONG>lok</STRONG>, etc. |
| |
| <STRONG>o</STRONG> This implementation can be configured to provide rudimentary sup- |
| port for multi-threaded applications. See <STRONG><A HREF="curs_threads.3x.html">curs_threads(3x)</A></STRONG> for |
| details. |
| |
| <STRONG>o</STRONG> This implementation can also be configured to provide a set of |
| functions which improve the ability to manage multiple screens. |
| See <STRONG><A HREF="curs_sp_funcs.3x.html">curs_sp_funcs(3x)</A></STRONG> for details. |
| |
| In historic curses versions, delays embedded in the capabilities <STRONG>cr</STRONG>, |
| <STRONG>ind</STRONG>, <STRONG>cub1</STRONG>, <STRONG>ff</STRONG> and <STRONG>tab</STRONG> activated corresponding delay bits in the UNIX |
| tty driver. In this implementation, all padding is done by sending NUL |
| bytes. This method is slightly more expensive, but narrows the inter- |
| face to the UNIX kernel significantly and increases the package's |
| portability correspondingly. |

| If standard output from a <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> program is re-directed to something |
