set_curterm 

The set_curterm routine is used to set the cur_term variable (interface
to terminfo).

Syntax 

     #include <curses.h>

     int set_curterm (TERMINAL *nterm);

Parameters 

nterm                 The terminal type for which the variable is set.

Return Values 

OK                    Successful completion.

ERR                   An error occurred.

Description 

The set_curterm() routine is a low-level routine used only outside of
CURSES when the program has to deal directly with the terminfo database
to handle certain terminal capabilities.  The use of appropriate CURSES
routines is recommended in all other situations.

The set_curterm() routine sets the cur_term variable to nterm.  The
values from nterm as well as other state information for the terminal are
used by terminfo functions such as mvcur(), tigetflag(), tigetstr(), and
tigetnum().
