curs_termattrs(3X)             DG/UX 5.4R3.00             curs_termattrs(3X)


NAME
       curstermattrs:  baudrate, erasechar, hasic, hasil, killchar,
       longname, termattrs, termname - curses environment query routines

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curses.h>

       int baudrate(void);
       char erasechar(void);
       int hasic(void);
       int hasil(void);
       char killchar(void);
       char *longname(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.

       With the erasechar routine, the user's current erase character is
       returned.

       The hasic routine is true if the terminal has insert- and delete-
       character capabilities.

       The hasil 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.

       With the killchar routine, the user's current line kill character is
       returned.

       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 setterm, 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
       application program is trying to use, curses may substitute a
       different video attribute for it.  The termattrs function returns a
       logical OR of all video attributes supported by the terminal.  This
       information is useful when a curses program needs complete control
       over the appearance of the screen.

       The termname routine returns the value of the environmental variable
       TERM (truncated to 14 characters).

RETURN VALUE
       longname and termname return NULL on error.

       Routines that return an integer return ERR upon failure and an
       integer value other than ERR upon successful completion.

NOTES
       The header file <curses.h> automatically includes the header files
       <stdio.h> and <unctrl.h>.

       Note that termattrs may be a macro.
