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

NAME
meta - enable/disable meta keys 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 meta(WINDOW *win, bool bf); PARAMETERS
win Is an ignored parameter. bf Is a Boolean expression. DESCRIPTION
Whether a terminal returns 7 or 8 significant bits initially depends on the control mode of the terminal driver. The meta() function forces the number of bits to be returned by getch(3XCURSES) to be 7 (if bf is FALSE) or 8 (if bf is TRUE). If the program handling the data can only pass 7-bit characters or strips the 8th bit, 8 bits cannot be handled. If the terminfo capabilities smm (meta_on) and rmm (meta_off) are defined for the terminal, smm is sent to the terminal when meta(win, TRUE) is called, and rmm is sent when meta(win, FALSE) is called. This function is useful when extending the non-text command set in applications where the META key is used. RETURN VALUES
On success, the meta() function returns OK. Otherwise, it returns ERR. ERRORS
None. ATTRIBUTES

NAME
syncok, wcursyncup, wsyncdown, wsyncup - synchronize window with its parents or children 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 syncok(WINDOW *win, bool bf); void wcursyncup(WINDOW *win); void wsyncdown(WINDOW *win); void wsyncup(WINDOW *win); PARAMETERS
win Is a pointer to a window. bf Is a Boolean expression. DESCRIPTION
The syncok() function uses the value of bf to determine whether or not the window win's ancestors are implicitly touched whenever there is a change to win. If bf is TRUE, this touching occurs. If bf is FALSE, it does not occur. The initial value for bf is FALSE. The wcursyncup() function moves the cursor in win's ancestors to match its position in win. The wsyncdown() function touches win if any of its ancestors have been touched. The wsyncup() function touches all ancestors of win. RETURN VALUES
On success, the syncok() function returns OK. Otherwise, it returns ERR. The other functions do not return a value. ERRORS
None. ATTRIBUTES
