The newterm routine is used to open a new terminal.
Syntax |
 |
#include <stdio.h>
#include <curses.h>
SCREEN *newterm(char *type, FILE *outfp, FILE *infp);
|
Parameters |
|
- type
A string defining the terminal type to be used in place of TERM.
- outfp
A pointer to a file to be used for output to the terminal.
- infp
The pointer to a file to be used for input to the terminal.
Return Values |
|
On success, a pointer to new SCREEN structure is
returned; otherwise, a null pointer is returned.
Description |
|
The newterm() routine opens a new terminal with each call. It should be used instead of initscr() when the program interacts with more than one terminal. It returns a variable of type SCREEN, which should be used for later reference to that terminal. Before program termination, endwin() should be called for each terminal.
Implementation Considerations |
|
Identical to XPG/3
