nonl

nl(3XCURSES)						  X/Open Curses Library Functions					      nl(3XCURSES)

NAME

       nl, nonl - enable/disable newline control

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 nl(void);

       int nonl(void);

DESCRIPTION

       The  nl()  function enables the handling of newlines.  The nl() function converts newline into carriage return and line feed  on output and
       converts carriage return into newline on input.	nonl() disables the handling of newlines.

       The handling of newlines is initially enabled.  Disabling the handling of newlines results in faster cursor motion since  X/Open Curses can
       use the line-feed capability more efficiently.

RETURN VALUES

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

ERRORS

       None.
