curs_termattrs(3X)					    curs_termattrs(3X)

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
   baudrate
       The  baudrate  routine  returns	the output speed of the	terminal.  The
       number returned is in bits per second, for example 9600,	and is an  in-
       teger.

   erasechar, erasewchar
       The erasechar routine returns the user's	current	erase character.

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

   has_is, has_il
       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	scrolling regions.  This might
       be  used	 to  determine	if it would be appropriate to turn on physical
       scrolling using scrollok.

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

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

   longname
       The  longname  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 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  multiple
       terminals.

   termattrs, term_attrs
       If a given terminal does	not support a video attribute that an applica-
       tion  program is	trying to use, curses may substitute a different video
       attribute for it.  The termattrs	and term_attrs functions return	a log-
       ical OR of all video attributes supported by the	terminal using A_  and
       WA_  constants  respectively.  This information is useful when a	curses
       program needs complete control over the appearance of the screen.

   termname
       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 com-
       pletion.

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.
