+ add note in curs_addch.3x about line-drawing when it depends upon UTF-8. + add tic -q option for consistency with infocmp, use it to suppress all comments from the "tic -I" output. + modify infocmp -q option to suppress the "Reconstructed from" header. + add infocmp/tic -Q option, which allows one to dump the compiled form of the terminal entry, in hexadecimal or base64.

This page summarizes variables provided by the <STRONG>curses</STRONG> li-
|
|
brary. A more complete description is given in the <STRONG>curs-</STRONG>
|
|
<STRONG><A HREF="ncurses.3x.html">es(3x)</A></STRONG> manual page.
|
|
|
|
Depending on the configuration, these may be actual vari-
|
|
ables, or macros (see <STRONG><A HREF="curs_threads.3x.html">curs_threads(3x)</A></STRONG> and
|
|
<STRONG><A HREF="curs_opaque.3x.html">curs_opaque(3x)</A></STRONG>) which provide read-only access to <EM>curs-</EM>
|
|
<EM>es</EM>'s state. In either case, applications should treat
|
|
them as read-only to avoid confusing the library.

<H3><a name="h3-COLOR_PAIRS">COLOR_PAIRS</a></H3><PRE>
|

After initializing curses, this variable contains the num-
|
|
ber of color pairs which the terminal can support. Usual-
|
|
ly the number of color pairs will be the product <STRONG>COL-</STRONG>
|
|
<STRONG>ORS</STRONG>*<STRONG>COLORS</STRONG>, however this is not always true:
|
|
|
|
<STRONG>o</STRONG> a few terminals use HLS colors, which do not follow
|
|
this rule
|
|
|
|
<STRONG>o</STRONG> terminals supporting a large number of colors are lim-
|
|
ited by the number of color pairs that can be repre-
|
|
sented in a <EM>signed</EM> <EM>short</EM> value.

<H3><a name="h3-COLS">COLS</a></H3><PRE>

<H3><a name="h3-ESCDELAY">ESCDELAY</a></H3><PRE>

This variable holds the number of milliseconds to wait af-
|
|
ter reading an escape character, to distinguish between an
|
|
individual escape character entered on the keyboard from
|
|
escape sequences sent by cursor- and function-keys (see
|

<H3><a name="h3-LINES">LINES</a></H3><PRE>

height of the screen, i.e., the number of lines.

</PRE>
|

<H3><a name="h3-TABSIZE">TABSIZE</a></H3><PRE>

This variable holds the number of columns used by the
|
|
<EM>curses</EM> library when converting a tab character to spaces
|
|
as it adds the tab to a window (see <STRONG><A HREF="curs_addch.3x.html">curs_addch(3x)</A></STRONG>.

This implementation of curses uses a special window <STRONG>curscr</STRONG>

</PRE>
|
|
<H3><a name="h3-The-New-Screen">The New Screen</a></H3><PRE>
|

This implementation of curses uses a special window <STRONG>newscr</STRONG>
|
|
to hold updates to the terminal screen before applying
|
|
them to <STRONG>curscr</STRONG>.
|
|
|
|
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
<H3><a name="h3-The-Standard-Screen">The Standard Screen</a></H3><PRE>
|
|
Upon initializing curses, a default window called <STRONG>stdscr</STRONG>,
|
|
which is the size of the terminal screen, is created.
|
|
Many curses functions use this window.

The curses library is initialized using either

<STRONG><A HREF="curs_initscr.3x.html">curs_initscr(3x)</A></STRONG>, or <STRONG><A HREF="curs_initscr.3x.html">curs_initscr(3x)</A></STRONG>.
|
|
|
|
If <STRONG>curses</STRONG> is configured to use separate curses/terminfo
|
|
libraries, most of these variables reside in the curses
|
|
library.

ESCDELAY and TABSIZE are extensions, not provided in most
|
|
other implementations of curses.
|
|
|
|
ESCDELAY is an extension in AIX curses:
|
|
|
|
<STRONG>o</STRONG> In AIX, the units for ESCDELAY are <EM>fifths</EM> of a mil-
|
|
lisecond.
|
|
|
|
<STRONG>o</STRONG> The default value for AIX's ESCDELAY is 0.1 seconds.
|
|
|
|
<STRONG>o</STRONG> AIX also enforces a limit of 10,000 seconds for ESCDE-
|
|
LAY; this implementation currently has no upper limit.
|
|
|
|
This implementation has long used ESCDELAY with units of
|
|
milliseconds, making it impossible to be completely com-
|
|
patible with AIX. Likewise, most users have either decid-
|
|
ed to override the value, or rely upon its default value.
