.TH curs_termattrs 3X "" .SH NAME \fBbaudrate\fR, \fBerasechar\fR, \fBhas_ic\fR, \fBhas_il\fR, \fBkillchar\fR, \fBlongname\fR, \fBtermattrs\fR, \fBtermname\fR - \fBcurses\fR environment query routines .SH SYNOPSIS \fB#include <curses.h>\fR \fBint baudrate(void);\fR .br \fBchar erasechar(void);\fR .br \fBint has_ic(void);\fR .br \fBint has_il(void);\fR .br \fBchar killchar(void);\fR .br \fBchar *longname(void);\fR .br \fBattr_t termattrs(void);\fR .br \fBchar *termname(void);\fR .br .SH DESCRIPTION The \fBbaudrate\fR routine returns the output speed of the terminal. The number returned is in bits per second, for example \fB9600\fR, and is an integer. The \fBerasechar\fR routine returns the user's current erase character. The \fBhas_ic\fR routine is true if the terminal has insert- and delete- character capabilities. The \fBhas_il\fR routine is true if the terminal has insert- and delete-line capabilities, or can simulate them using scrolling regions. This might be used to determine if it would be appropriate to turn on physical scrolling using \fBscrollok\fR. The \fBkillchar\fR routine returns the user's current line kill character. The \fBlongname\fR 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 characters. It is defined only after the call to \fBinitscr\fR or \fBnewterm\fR. The area is overwritten by each call to \fBnewterm\fR and is not restored by \fBset_term\fR, so the value should be saved between calls to \fBnewterm\fR if \fBlongname\fR 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, \fBcurses\fR may substitute a different video attribute for it. The \fBtermattrs\fR function returns a logical \fBOR\fR of all video attributes supported by the terminal. This information is useful when a \fBcurses\fR program needs complete control over the appearance of the screen. The \fBtermname\fR routine returns the value of the environmental variable \fBTERM\fR (truncated to 14 characters). .SH RETURN VALUE \fBlongname\fR and \fBtermname\fR return \fBNULL\fR on error. Routines that return an integer return \fBERR\fR upon failure and \fBOK\fR (SVr4 only specifies "an integer value other than \fBERR\fR") upon successful completion. .SH NOTES Note that \fBtermattrs\fR may be a macro. .SH PORTABILITY The XSI Curses standard, Issue 4 describes these functions. It changes the return type of \fBtermattrs\fR to the new type \fBattr_t\fR. .SH SEE ALSO \fBcurses\fR(3X), \fBcurs_initscr\fR(3X), \fBcurs_outopts\fR(3X) .\"# .\"# The following sets edit modes for GNU EMACS .\"# Local Variables: .\"# mode:nroff .\"# fill-column:79 .\"# End:
