Thomas E. Dickey 58552e8c76 ncurses 6.0 - patch 20170107
+ amend changes for tput to reset tty modes to "sane" if the program
  is run as "reset", like tset.  Likewise, ensure that tset sends
  either reset- or init-strings.
+ improve manual page descriptions of tput init/reset and tset/reset,
  to make it easier to see how they are similar and different.
+ move a static result from key_name() to _nc_globals
+ modify _nc_get_screensize to allow for use_env() and use_tioctl()
  state to be per-screen when sp-funcs are configured, better matching
  the behavior when using the term-driver configuration.
+ improve cross-references in manual pages for often used functions
+ move SCREEN field for use_tioctl() data before the ncursesw fields,
  and limit that to the sp-funcs configuration to improve termlib
  compatibility (cf:  20120714).
+ correct order of initialization for traces in use_env() and
  use_tioctl() versus first trace calls.

The <STRONG>printw</STRONG>, <STRONG>wprintw</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvprintw</STRONG> and <STRONG>mvwprintw</STRONG> routines are
analogous to <STRONG>printf</STRONG> [see <STRONG>printf(3)</STRONG>]. In effect, the
string that would be output by <STRONG>printf</STRONG> is output instead as
though <STRONG>waddstr</STRONG> were used on the given window.
The <STRONG>vwprintw</STRONG> and <STRONG>wv_printw</STRONG> routines are analogous to
<STRONG>vprintf</STRONG> [see <STRONG>printf(3)</STRONG>] and perform a <STRONG>wprintw</STRONG> using a
variable argument list. The third argument is a <STRONG>va_list</STRONG>,
a pointer to a list of arguments, as defined in
<STRONG>&lt;stdarg.h&gt;</STRONG>.
</PRE><H2><a name="h2-RETURN-VALUE">RETURN VALUE</a></H2><PRE>
Routines that return an integer return <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon failure
and <STRONG>OK</STRONG> (SVr4 only specifies "an integer value other than
<STRONG>ERR</STRONG>") upon successful completion.
X/Open defines no error conditions. In this implementa-
tion, an error may be returned if it cannot allocate
enough memory for the buffer used to format the results.
It will return an error if the window pointer is null.
Functions with a "mv" prefix first perform a cursor move-
ment using <STRONG>wmove</STRONG>, and return an error if the position is
outside the window, or if the window pointer is null.

The XSI Curses standard, Issue 4 describes these func-
tions. The function <STRONG>vwprintw</STRONG> is marked TO BE WITHDRAWN,
and is to be replaced by a function <STRONG>vw_printw</STRONG> using the
<STRONG>&lt;stdarg.h&gt;</STRONG> interface. The Single Unix Specification, Ver-
sion 2 states that <STRONG>vw_printw</STRONG> is preferred to <STRONG>vwprintw</STRONG>
since the latter requires including <STRONG>&lt;varargs.h&gt;</STRONG>, which
cannot be used in the same file as <STRONG>&lt;stdarg.h&gt;</STRONG>. This im-
plementation uses <STRONG>&lt;stdarg.h&gt;</STRONG> for both, because that header
is included in <STRONG>&lt;curses.h</STRONG>&gt;.
