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

NAME
       halfdelay - enable/disable half-delay mode

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 halfdelay(int tenths);

DESCRIPTION
       The  halfdelay()  function  is  similar to cbreak(3XCURSES) in that when set, characters typed by the user are immediately processed by the
       program.  The difference is that ERR is returned if no input is received  after tenths tenths seconds.

       The nocbreak(3XCURSES) function should be used to leave half-delay mode.

PARAMETERS
       tenths	 Is the number of tenths of seconds for which to block input (1 to 255).

RETURN VALUES
       On success, the halfdelay() function returns OK. Otherwise, it returns ERR.

ERRORS
       None.
