Theses routines typically are used inside library +routines. + +The \fBdef_prog_mode\fR and \fBdef_shell_mode\fR routines save the +current terminal modes as the "program" (in \fBcurses\fR) or "shell" +(not in \fBcurses\fR) state for use by the \fBreset_prog_mode\fR and +\fBreset_shell_mode\fR routines. This is done automatically by +\fBinitscr\fR. There is one such save area for each screen context +allocated by \fBnewterm()\fR. + +The \fBreset_prog_mode\fR and \fBreset_shell_mode\fR routines restore +the terminal to "program" (in \fBcurses\fR) or "shell" (out of +\fBcurses\fR) state. These are done automatically by \fBendwin\fR +and, after an \fBendwin\fR, by \fBdoupdate\fR, so they normally are +not called. + +The \fBresetty\fR and \fBsavetty\fR routines save and restore the +state of the terminal modes. \fBsavetty\fR saves the current state in +a buffer and \fBresetty\fR restores the state to what it was at the +last call to \fBsavetty\fR. + +The \fBgetsyx\fR routine returns the current coordinates of the virtual screen +cursor in \fIy\fR and \fIx\fR. If \fBleaveok\fR is currently \fBTRUE\fR, then +\fB-1\fR,\fB-1\fR is returned. If lines have been removed from the top of the +screen, using \fBripoffline\fR, \fIy\fR and \fIx\fR include these lines; +therefore, \fIy\fR and \fIx\fR should be used only as arguments for +\fBsetsyx\fR. + +The \fBsetsyx\fR routine sets the virtual screen cursor to +\fIy\fR, \fIx\fR. If \fIy\fR and \fIx\fR are both \fB-1\fR, then +\fBleaveok\fR is set. The two routines \fBgetsyx\fR and \fBsetsyx\fR +are designed to be used by a library routine, which manipulates +\fBcurses\fR windows but does not want to change the current position +of the program's cursor. The library routine would call \fBgetsyx\fR +at the beginning, do its manipulation of its own windows, do a +\fBwnoutrefresh\fR on its windows, call \fBsetsyx\fR, and then call +\fBdoupdate\fR. + +The \fBripoffline\fR routine provides access to the same facility that +\fBslk_init\fR [see \fBcurs_slk\fR(3X)] uses to reduce the size of the +screen. \fBripoffline\fR must be called before \fBinitscr\fR or +\fBnewterm\fR is called. If \fIline\fR is positive, a line is removed +from the top of \fBstdscr\fR; if \fIline\fR is negative, a line is +removed from the bottom. When this is done inside \fBinitscr\fR, the +routine \fBinit\fR (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 \fBLINES\fR +and \fBCOLS\fR (defined in \fB<curses.h>\fR) are not guaranteed to be +accurate and \fBwrefresh\fR or \fBdoupdate\fR must not be called. It +is allowable to call \fBwnoutrefresh\fR during the initialization +routine. + +\fBripoffline\fR can be called up to five times before calling \fBinitscr\fR or +\fBnewterm\fR. + +The \fBcurs_set\fR routine sets the cursor state is set to invisible, +normal, or very visible for \fBvisibility\fR equal to \fB0\fR, +\fB1\fR, or \fB2\fR respectively. If the terminal supports the +\fIvisibility\fR requested, the previous \fIcursor\fR state is +returned; otherwise, \fBERR\fR is returned. + +The \fBnapms\fR routine is used to sleep for \fIms\fR milliseconds. +.SH RETURN VALUE +Except for \fBcurs_set\fR, these routines always return \fBOK\fR. +\fBcurs_set\fR returns the previous cursor state, or \fBERR\fR if the +requested \fIvisibility\fR is not supported. +.SH NOTES +Note that \fBgetsyx\fR is a macro, so \fB&\fR is not necessary before +the variables \fIy\fR and \fIx\fR. + +Older SVr4 man pages warn that the return value of \fBcurs_set\fR "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 \fBcurs_set\fR in \fBendwin\fR +if \fBcurs_set\fR +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. +.SH PORTABILITY +The functions \fBsetsyx\fR and \fBgetsyx\fR are not described in the XSI +Curses standard, Issue 4. All other functions are as described in XSI Curses. + +The SVr4 documentation describes \fBsetsyx\fR and \fBgetsyx\fR as having return +type int. This is misleading, as they are macros with no documented semantics +for the return value. +.SH SEE ALSO +\fBcurses\fR(3X), \fBcurs_initscr\fR(3X), \fBcurs_outopts\fR(3X), \fBcurs_refresh\fR(3X), +\fBcurs_scr_dump\fR(3X), \fBcurs_slk\fR(3X) +.\"# +.\"# The following sets edit modes for GNU EMACS +.\"# Local Variables: +.\"# mode:nroff +.\"# fill-column:79 +.\"# End: |
