curs_set(3X)                                                   curs_set(3X)

NAME
     cursset - set the cursor mode

SYNOPSIS
     cc [flag ...] file ... -lcurses [library ...]

     #include <curses.h>

     int cursset(int visibility);

DESCRIPTION
     The cursset() function sets the appearance of the cursor based on the
     value of visibility:

     ______________________________________________________________
    | Value of visibility            Appearance of Cursor         |
    |_____________________________________________________________|
    |          0            Invisible                             |
    |          1            Terminal-specific normal mode         |
    |          2            Terminal-specific high visibility mode|
    |_____________________________________________________________|

     The terminal does not necessarily support all the above values.

RETURN VALUE
     If the terminal supports the cursor mode specified by visibility, then
     cursset() returns the previous cursor state. Otherwise, the function
     returns ERR.

ERRORS
     No errors are defined.
