       nodelay - set blocking or non-blocking read

SYNOPSIS
       cc [ flag... ] file... -I /usr/xpg4/include -L /usr/xpg4/lib

       int nodelay(WINDOW *win, bool bf);

PARAMETERS
       win		       Is a pointer to the window in which to enable non-blocking.

       bf		       Is a Boolean expression.

DESCRIPTION
       If  enabled, (bf is TRUE), the nodelay() function causes getch(3XCURSES) to return ERR if no input is ready.  When disabled, getch() blocks
