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  termi-
     nal.  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 rou-
     tine 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  long-
     name 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 termi-
     nals.  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  ter-
     mattrs 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 charac-
     ters).

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.
