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

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

       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.

       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.

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

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

       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.

       If  a given terminal doesn't support a video attribute that an applica-
       tion program is trying to use, curses may substitute a different  video


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.
