use_legacy_coding - use terminal's default colors
SYNOPSIS
#include <curses.h>
int use_legacy_coding(int level);
DESCRIPTION
The use_legacy_coding() function is an extension to the curses library. It allows the caller to change the result of unctrl, and suppress
related checks within the library that would normally cause nonprinting characters to be rendered in visible form. This affects only 8-bit
characters.
The level parameter controls the result:
0 the library functions normally, rendering nonprinting characters as described in unctrl.
1 the library ignores isprintf for codes in the range 160-255.
2 the library ignores isprintf for codes in the range 128-255. It also modifies the output of unctrl, showing codes in the range
128-159 as is.
RETURN VALUE
If the screen has not been initialized, or the level parameter is out of range, the function returns ERR. Otherwise, it returns the previ-
ous level: 0, 1 or 2.
PORTABILITY
This routine is specific to ncurses. It was not supported on Version 7, BSD or System V implementations. It is recommended that any code
depending on ncurses extensions be conditioned using NCURSES_VERSION.
SEE ALSO
unctrl.

Introduction
I have seen some misinformation regarding Unix file permissions. I will try to set the record straight. Take a look at this example of some output from ls:
$ ls -ld /usr/bin /usr/bin/cat
drwxrwxr-x 3 root bin 8704 Sep 23 2004 /usr/bin

I have a file which looks roughly like this:

and would like to sort it numerically on the first field. I tried:
sort -nr --key=1 ....
The output I get is:

Suppose I have a main() function with only one malloc statement allocating say some 1 gb memory. Also say my system has 1 gb of ram.
main()
{
malloc(1gb)
return(0)
}
The program above exits without freeing the memory.
In this case will the 1 gb of heap memory be returned... (9 Replies)
I'm trying to install a PGX32 video card on my Sparc 10 Ultra running Solaris 10.
I've got the Oracle installation guide for it and I got as far as:

Hey All,
Quick question...
I'm writing a short script to check if a continuous port is running on a server.
I'm using "ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep processName" and I was wondering if it was better/more reliable to just check the
return code from the command or if its better to pipe to... (12 Replies)
I installed NetBSD 6.1.2 amd64 and can't find the apm utility. Is it not in the base system?
Is it necessary to recompile the default amd64 kernel to use apm?
Or is there a new method for power management and suspend/resume? (2 Replies)
Hi,
I am learning shell scripting for the first time. I use AT&T Korn Shell, Version AJM 93u+ 2012-08-01, compiled from source on NetBSD.
So far I have managed to set up what I think is a useful and pleasing shell prompt, which can be seen in the image attached to this post.
The prompt is... (2 Replies)
Hey gang, I have a list of times I need to sum up. This list can vary from a few to a few thousand entries. Now I had found a closed reference to adding time titled "add up time with xx:yy format in bash how?" In it, the example works great for that formatted list of times... This is the reply code...

Usually when I on the evening go to bed I take some interesting book with me. I read it for a while to get me down to sleep. Probably most people seek information from the Nett by googleing but I am so oldfashioned I prefer a real book ;)
But what a book. The one I found and ordered is BSD Unix®... (0 Replies)
