NAME

filter — disable use of certain terminal capabilities

SYNOPSIS

#include <curses.h>

void filter(void);

DESCRIPTION

The filter() function changes the algorithm for initialising terminal capabilities that assume that the terminal has more than one line. A subsequent call to initscr() or newterm() performs the following additional actions:

  • Disable use of clear, cud, cud1, cup, cuu1 and vpa.

  • Set the value of the home string to the value of the cr string

  • Set lines equal to 1.

Any call to filter() must precede the call to initscr() or newterm().

RETURN VALUE

The filter() function does not return a value.

ERRORS

No errors are defined.
