typeahead(3XCURSES) X/Open Curses Library Functions typeahead(3XCURSES) NAME
typeahead - check for type-ahead characters 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 typeahead(int fd); PARAMETERS
fd Is the file descriptor that is used to check for type-ahead characters. DESCRIPTION
The typeahead() function specifies the file descriptor (fd) to use to check for type-ahead characters (characters typed by the user but not yet processed by X/Open Curses). X/Open Curses checks for type-ahead characters periodically while updating the screen. If characters are found, the current update is postponed until the next refresh(3XCURSES) or doupdate(3XCURSES). This speeds up response to commands that have been typed ahead. Nor- mally, the input file pointer passed to newterm(3XCURSES), or stdin in the case of initscr(3XCURSES), is used for type-ahead checking. If fd is -1, no type-ahead checking is done. RETURN VALUES
On success, the typeahead() function returns OK. Otherwise, it returns ERR. ERRORS
None. ATTRIBUTES

def_prog_mode(3XCURSES) X/Open Curses Library Functions def_prog_mode(3XCURSES) NAME
def_prog_mode, def_shell_mode, reset_prog_mode, reset_shell_mode - save/restore terminal modes 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 def_prog_mode(void); int def_shell_mode(void); int reset_prog_mode(void); int reset_shell_mode(void); DESCRIPTION
The def_prog_mode() and def_shell_mode() functions save the current terminal modes as "program" (within X/Open Curses) or "shell" (outside X/Open Curses). The modes are saved automatically by initscr(3XCURSES), newterm(3XCURSES), and setupterm(3XCURSES). The reset_prog_mode() and reset_shell_mode() functions reset the current terminal modes to "program" (within X/Open Curses) or "shell" (outside X/Open Curses). The endwin(3XCURSES) function automatically calls the reset_shell_mode() function and the doupdate(3XCURSES) func- tion calls the reset_prog_mode() function after calling endwin(). RETURN VALUES
On success, these functions return OK. Otherwise, they return ERR. ERRORS
None. ATTRIBUTES
