.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||||
These functions extract and use capabilities from a terminal capability
|
||||
database.
|
||||
They exist as wrappers around equivalent
|
||||
.Xr terminfo 3
|
||||
functions, which new code should use.
|
||||
These are low level routines; see
|
||||
.Xr curses 3
|
||||
for a higher level package.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Fn tgetent
|
||||
function calls
|
||||
.Fn setupterm
|
||||
and configures
|
||||
.Va PC ,
|
||||
.Va UP
|
||||
and
|
||||
.Va BC .
|
||||
Only
|
||||
.Va PC
|
||||
is actually used internally.
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Fn tgetent
|
||||
function returns \-1 if none of the
|
||||
.Nm terminfo
|
||||
data base files could be opened,
|
||||
0 if the terminal name given does not match an entry,
|
||||
and 1 if all goes well.
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Fa bp
|
||||
argument is not used.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Fn tgetnum
|
||||
function gets the numeric value of the capability
|
||||
.Fa id ,
|
||||
returning \-1 if it is not given for the terminal.
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Fn tgetflag
|
||||
function returns 1 if the specified capability is present in the terminal's
|
||||
entry, 0 if it is not.
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Fn tgetstr
|
||||
function returns the string value of the capability
|
||||
.Fa id .
|
||||
This is a
|
||||
.Xr terminfo 5
|
||||
string and not a
|
||||
.Nm termcap
|
||||
string;
|
||||
as such it should only be processed by
|
||||
.Fn tgoto .
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Fn tgetstr
|
||||
function returns
|
||||
.Dv NULL
|
||||
if the capability was not found.
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Fa area
|
||||
argument is unused.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Fn tgoto
|
||||
function returns a cursor addressing string decoded from
|
||||
.Fa cm
|
||||
to go to column
|
||||
.Fa destcol
|
||||
in line
|
||||
.Fa destline .

.Sh HISTORY
|
||||
.Nm termcap
|
||||
first appeared in 4.0BSD.
|
||||
.Nx 1.5
|
||||
introduced some
|
||||
.Nm termcap
|
||||
.Fn t_*
|
||||
extensions which were removed in
|
||||
.Nx 6.0
|
||||
