curs_termcap(3X)

NAME
     curs_termcap:  tgetent, tgetflag, tgetnum, tgetstr, tgoto, tputs - curses
     interfaces (emulated) to the termcap library

SYNOPSIS
     #include <curses.h>
     #include <term.h>
     int tgetent(char *bp, char *name);
     int tgetflag(char id[2]);
     int tgetnum(char id[2]);
     char *tgetstr(char id[2], char **area);
     char *tgoto(char *cap, int col, int row);
     int tputs(char *str, int affcnt, int (*putc)(void));

DESCRIPTION
     These routines are included as a conversion aid for programs that use the
     termcap library.  Their parameters are the same and the routines are
     emulated using the terminfo database.  These routines are supported at
     Level 2 and should not be used in new applications.

     The tgetent routine looks up the termcap entry for name.  The emulation
     ignores the buffer pointer bp.

     The tgetflag routine gets the boolean entry for id.

     The tgetnum routine gets the numeric entry for id.

     The tgetstr routine returns the string entry for id.  Use tputs to output
     the returned string.

     The tgoto routine instantiates the parameters into the given capability.
     The output from this routine is to be passed to tputs.

     The tputs routine is described on the curs_terminfo(4) manual page.

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

     Routines that return pointers return NULL on error.

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