curs_termattrs(3)   UNIX Programmer's Manual	curs_termattrs(3)

NAME
     baudrate, erasechar, erasewchar, has_ic, has_il, killchar,
     killwchar, longname, term_attrs, termattrs, termname -
     curses environment query routines

SYNOPSIS
     #include <curses.h>

     int baudrate(void);
     char erasechar(void);
     int erasewchar(wchar_t *ch);
     bool has_ic(void);
     bool has_il(void);
     char killchar(void);
     int killwchar(wchar_t *ch);
     char *longname(void);
     attr_t term_attrs(void);
     chtype termattrs(void);
     char *termname(void);

DESCRIPTION
     The baudrate routine returns the output speed of the termi-
     nal.  The number returned is in bits per second, for example
     9600, and is an integer.

     The erasechar routine returns the user's current erase char-
     acter.

     The erasewchar routine stores the current erase character in
     the location referenced by ch. If no erase character has
     been defined, the routine fails and the location referenced
     by ch is not changed.

     The has_ic routine is true if the terminal has insert- and
     delete- character capabilities.

     The has_il 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.

     The killchar routine returns the user's current line kill
     character.

     The killwchar routine stores the current line-kill character
     in the location referenced by ch. If no line-kill character
     has been defined, the routine fails and the location refer-
     enced by ch is not changed.

     The longname routine returns a pointer to a static area con-
     taining a verbose description of the current terminal.  The
     maximum length of a verbose description is 128 characters.

curs_termattrs(3)   UNIX Programmer's Manual	curs_termattrs(3)

     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 set_term, so the value should be saved between
     calls to newterm if longname is going to be used with multi-
     ple 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 and
     term_attrs functions return a logical OR of all video attri-
     butes supported by the terminal using A_ and WA_ constants
     respectively. This information is useful when a curses pro-
     gram needs complete control over the appearance of the
     screen.

     The termname routine returns the terminal name used by
     setupterm.

RETURN VALUE
     longname and termname return NULL on error.

     Routines that return an integer return ERR upon failure and
     OK (SVr4 only specifies "an integer value other than ERR")
     upon successful completion.

NOTES
     Note that termattrs may be a macro.

PORTABILITY
     The XSI Curses standard, Issue 4 describes these functions.
     It changes the return type of termattrs to the new type
     attr_t. Most versions of curses truncate the result returned
     by termname to 14 characters.
