NAME

       cbreak, nocbreak, noraw, raw - set input mode controls

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag... ] file... -I /usr/xpg4/include  -L	/usr/xpg4/lib 
	-R  /usr/xpg4/lib  -lcurses  [ library... ]

       c89 [ flag... ] file... -lcurses [ library... ]

       #include <curses.h>

       int cbreak(void);

       int nocbreak(void);

       int noraw(void);

       int raw(void);

DESCRIPTION

       The  cbreak()  function	enables  the  character input mode. This overrides any previous call to the raw() function and turns the stty flag
       ICANON off.

       The nocbreak() function sets the line canonical mode and turns the stty flag ICANON on without touching the ISIG or IXON flags.

       The noraw() function sets the line canonical mode and turns the stty flags ICANON, ISIG, and IXON all on.

       The raw() function sets the character input mode and turns the stty flags ICANON, ISIG, and IXON all off.  This mode provides maximum  con-
       trol over input.

       It is important to remember that the terminal may or may not be in  character mode operation initially.	 Most interactive programs require
       cbreak() to be enabled.

RETURN VALUES

       On success, these functions return OK. Otherwise, they return ERR.

ERRORS

       None.
