NAME

idlok − enable use of insert/delete line

SYNOPSIS

#include <curses.h>

int idlok(win, bf)
WINDOW ∗win;
bool bf;

DESCRIPTION

If enabled, that is, bf is TRUE, curses uses the insert/delete line hardware of terminals if it is available.  If disabled, curses will not use this feature.  This option should be enabled only if the application needs insert/delete line; for example, for a screen editor. It is disabled by default as insert/delete line can be visually annoying when used in some applications. 

If insert/delete line cannot be used, curses will redraw the changed portions of all lines. 

NOTE:

The terminal hardware insert/delete character feature is always used if available. 

RETURN VALUES

The idlok function returns OK on success and ERR on error.
