The tigetflag, tigetnum, and tigetstr routines are used to return the value of terminfo capability (interface to terminfo).
Syntax |
 |
#include <curses.h>
int tigetflag (char *capname);
int tigetnum (char *capname);
char *tigetstr (char *capname);
|
Parameters |
|
- capname
The name of the terminfo capability for which the value is required.
Return Values |
|
The tigetflag() routine returns -1 if capname is not a Boolean capability.
The tigetnum() routine returns -1 if capname is not a numeric capability.
The tigetstr() routine returns (char *)-1 if capname is not a string capability.
Description |
|
The tigetflag(), tigetnum(), and tigetstr() routines
return values for terminfo capabilities passed to them.
The following null-terminated arrays contain the capnames, the termcap codes and full C names for each of the terminfo variables.
char *boolnames, *boolcodes, *boolfnames
char *numnames, *numcodes, *numfnames
char *strnames, *strcodes, *strfnames
