The idlok routine is used to enable the insert and delete line capability.

Syntax

   #include <curses.h>



   int idlok (WINDOW *win, bool bf);

Parameters

bf

A Boolean expression.

win

A pointer to the window in which to enable the insert and delete line capability.

Return Values

OK

Successful completion.

ERR

An error occurred.

Description

The idlok() routine enables (bf is TRUE) or disables (bf is FALSE) the use of the insert and delete line capability of the terminal. By default, the use of insert and delete line is disabled because its use is undesirable for most applications. (Sscreen editor applications are one exception.) When disabled, CURSES redraws the changed portions of all lines.

Implementation Considerations

Identical to XPG/3
