DESCRIPTION ncdirect_init prepares the FILE provided as fp for colorizing and styling. On success, a pointer to a valid struct ncdirect is returned. NULL is returned on failure. Before the process exits, ncdirect_stop should be called to reset the terminal and free up resources. ncdi- rect_init places the terminal into "cbreak" (also known as "rare") mode, disabling line-buffering and echo of input. ncdirect_stop re- stores the terminal state as it was when the corresponding ncdi- rect_init call was made. A process can have only one context active at once. The following flags are defined: • NCDIRECT_OPTION_INHIBIT_SETLOCALE: Unless this flag is set, ncdi- rect_init will call setlocale(LC_ALL, NULL). If the result is either "C" or "POSIX", it will print a diagnostic to stderr, and then call setlocale(LC_ALL, ""). This will attempt to set the locale based off the LANG environment variable. Your program should call setlocale(3) itself, usually as one of the first lines. • NCDIRECT_OPTION_INHIBIT_CBREAK: Unless this flag is set, ncdi- rect_init will place the terminal into cbreak mode (i.e. disabling echo and line buffering; see tcgetattr(3)). • NCDIRECT_OPTION_DRAIN_INPUT: Standard input may be freely discarded. If you do not intend to process input, pass this flag. Otherwise, input can buffer up, eventually preventing Notcurses from processing terminal messages. It will furthermore avoid wasting time processing useless input. • NCDIRECT_OPTION_NO_QUIT_SIGHANDLERS: A signal handler will usually be installed for SIGABRT, SIGBUS, SIGFPE, SIGILL, SIGINT, SIGQUIT, SIGSEGV, and SIGTERM, cleaning up the terminal on such exceptions. With this flag, the handler will not be installed. • NCDIRECT_OPTION_VERBOSE: Enable diagnostics to stderr at the level of NCLOGLEVEL_WARNING. • NCDIRECT_OPTION_VERY_VERBOSE: Enable all diagnostics (equivalent to NCLOGLEVEL_TRACE). Implies NCDIRECT_OPTION_VERBOSE. The loglevel can also be set externally using the NOTCURSES_LOGLEVEL environment variable. See notcurses_init(3) for more information. An appropriate terminfo(5) entry must exist for the terminal. This en- try is usually selected using the value of the TERM environment vari- able (see getenv(3)), but a non-NULL value for termtype will override this. An invalid terminfo specification can lead to reduced perfor- mance, reduced display capabilities, and/or display errors. notcurses natively targets 24bpp/8bpc RGB color, and it is thus desirable to use a terminal with the rgb capability (e.g. xterm's xterm-direct). ncdirect_dim_x returns the current number of columns, and ncdi- rect_dim_y the current number of rows. ncdirect_clear clears the screen using a control code if one exists in terminfo. Otherwise, it prints successive newlines to scroll every- thing off. ncdirect_cursor_move_yx moves the cursor to the specified coordinate. -1 can be specified for either y or x to leave that axis unchanged. ncdirect_enable_cursor and ncdirect_disable_cursor always flush the output stream, taking effect immediately. ncdirect_cursor_up and friends all move relative to the current posi- tion. Attempting to e.g. move up while on the top row will return 0, but have no effect. ncdirect_readline reads a (heap-allocated) line of arbitrary length, supporting some libreadline-style line-editing controls. NCDIRECT_OP- TION_INHIBIT_CBREAK should not be used if you intend to use ncdi- rect_readline; if used, line-editing keybindings cannot be implemented. Input will be echoed whether this option is used or not. ncdirect_check_pixel_support must be called (and successfully return) before NCBLIT_PIXEL can be used to render images; see notcurses_visu- al(3) for more details. When rendering an image, maxy and maxx specify a maximum number of (cell) rows and columns to use, respectively. Passing 0 means "use as much space as is necessary". It is an error to pass a negative number for either. RETURN VALUES ncdirect_init returns NULL on failure. Otherwise, the return value points to a valid struct ncdirect, which can be used until it is pro- vided to ncdirect_stop. ncdirect_printf_aligned returns the number of bytes written on success. On failure, it returns some negative number. ncdirect_putstr returns a nonnegative number on success, and EOF on failure. ncdirect_putegc returns the number of columns consumed on success, or -1 on failure. If sbytes is not NULL, the number of bytes consumed will be written to it. ncdirect_check_pixel_support returns -1 on error, 0 if there is no pix- el support, and 1 if pixel support is successfully detected. ncdirect_styles returns the current styling, a bitmask over the various NCSTYLE_ constants. All other functions return 0 on success, and non-zero on error. NOTES You are recommended to accept -v and -vv as command-line options, map- ping them to NCDIRECT_OPTION_VERBOSE and NCDIRECT_OPTION_VERY_VERBOSE respectively.
