CURSES_STANDOUT(3) BSD Library Functions Manual CURSES_STANDOUT(3)NAME
curses_standout, standout, standend, wstandout, wstandend -- curses standout attribute manipulation routines
LIBRARY
Curses Library (libcurses, -lcurses)
SYNOPSIS
#include <curses.h>
int
standout(void);
int
standend(void);
int
wstandout(void);
int
wstandend(void);
DESCRIPTION
These functions manipulate the standout attribute on stdscr or on the specified window.
The standout() function turns on the standout attribute on stdscr. The standend() function turns off the standout attribute on stdscr.
The wstandout() and wstandend() functions are equivalent to standout() and standend(), respectively, excepting that the attribute is manipu-
lated on the window specified by win.
The standout() and standend() functions are equivalent to attron(A_STANDOUT) and attroff(A_STANDOUT), respectively.
RETURN VALUES
These functions always return 1.
SEE ALSO curses_attributes(3), curses_underscore(3)STANDARDS
The NetBSD Curses library complies with the X/Open Curses specification, part of the Single Unix Specification.
HISTORY
The Curses package appeared in 4.0BSD.
BUGS
On modern terminals that support other attributes, there is no difference between characters displayed with the standout attribute set and
those displayed with one of the other attributes set (usually bold). It is best to avoid using standout if the terminal supports other
attributes.

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:

sort -nr --key=1 ....

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)

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)
