       NAME
             curs_termattrs: baudrate, erasechar, has_ic, has_il, killchar,
             longname, termattrs, termname - curses environment query
             routines

       SYNOPSIS
             cc [flag . . .] file -lcurses [library . . .]
             #include <curses.h>
             int baudrate(void);
             char erasechar(void);
             int has_ic(void);
             int has_il(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 has_ic routine is true if the terminal has insert- and
             delete-character capabilities.

             The has_il 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 set_term, 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 Values
            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.
