curs_termattrs(3X)               UNIX System V               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.
