NAME

nl, nonl − enable/disable newline control

SYNTAX

nl()

nonl()

DESCRIPTION

The nl routine enables the newline control translations. When newline control is enabled, a newline is translated into a carriage return and a linefeed on output, and a return is translated into a newline on input. Initially, these translations do occur.

The nonl routine disables these translations, allowing the curses program to use the linefeed capability of the terminal, resulting in faster cursor motion. The nl routine is a macro.
