|
|
This function uses the <STRONG>mc5p</STRONG> or <STRONG>mc4</STRONG> and <STRONG>mc5</STRONG> capabilities,
|
|
if they are present, to ship given data to a printer
|
|
attached to the terminal.
|
|
|
|
Note that the <STRONG>mcprint</STRONG> code has no way to do flow control
|
|
with the printer or to know how much buffering it has.
|
|
Your application is responsible for keeping the rate of
|
|
writes to the printer below its continuous throughput rate
|
|
(typically about half of its nominal cps rating). Dot-
|
|
matrix printers and 6-page-per-minute lasers can typically
|
|
handle 80cps, so a good conservative rule of thumb is to
|
|
sleep for a second after shipping each 80-character line.
|
|
|
|
|
|
</PRE><H2><a name="h2-RETURN-VALUE">RETURN VALUE</a></H2><PRE>
|
|
The <STRONG>mcprint</STRONG> function returns <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> if the write operation
|
|
aborted for some reason. In this case, errno will contain
|
|
either an error associated with <STRONG>write(2)</STRONG> or one of the
|
|
following:
|
|
|
|
ENODEV
|
|
Capabilities for printer redirection do not exist.
|
|
|
|
ENOMEM
|
|
Couldn't allocate sufficient memory to buffer the
|
|
printer write.
|
|
|
|
When <STRONG>mcprint</STRONG> succeeds, it returns the number of characters
|
|
actually sent to the printer.

found in SVr4 curses, 4.4BSD curses, or any other previous
