.Ds .Fd gettmode .De Get the tty stats. This is normally called by .Fn initscr . .Ds .Fd mvcur lasty\*,lastx\*,newy\*,newx int lasty\*,lastx\*,newy\*,newx; .De Moves the terminal's cursor from .Vn lasty\*,lastx ) ( to .Vn newy\*,newx ) ( in an approximation of optimal fashion. This routine uses the functions borrowed from .i ex version 2.6. It is possible to use this optimization without the benefit of the screen routines. With the screen routines, this should not be called by the user. .Fn move and .Fn refresh should be used to move the cursor position, so that the routines know what's going on. .Ds .Fd scroll win WINDOW *win; .De Scroll the window upward one line. This is normally not used by the user. .Ds .Fd savetty "" \*m .Fd resetty "" \*m .De .Fn savetty saves the current tty characteristic flags. .Fn resetty restores them to what .Fn savetty stored. These functions are performed automatically by .Fn initscr and .Fn endwin . .Ds .Fd setterm name char *name; .De Set the terminal characteristics to be those of the terminal named .Vn name , getting the terminal size from the .b TIOCGWINSZ .Fn ioctl "" "" 2 if it exists, otherwise from the environment. This is normally called by .Fn initscr . .Ds .Fd tstp .De If the new .b tty (4) driver is in use, this function will save the current tty state and then put the process to sleep. When the process gets restarted, it restores the tty state and then calls .Fn wrefresh "" "" curscr to redraw the screen. .Fn initscr sets the signal SIGTSTP to trap to this routine.
