NAME
       baudrate,  erasechar, erasewchar, has_ic, has_il, killchar, killwchar,
       longname, term_attrs, termattrs, termname - curses  environment	query
       routines

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curses.h>

       int baudrate(void);
       char erasechar(void);
       int erasewchar(wchar_t *ch);
       bool has_ic(void);
       bool has_il(void);
       char killchar(void);
       int killwchar(wchar_t *ch);
       char *longname(void);
       attr_t term_attrs(void);
       chtype termattrs(void);
       char *termname(void);

DESCRIPTION
       The  baudrate  routine  returns the output speed of the terminal.  The
       number returned is in bits per second, for example  9600,  and  is  an
       integer.

       The erasechar routine returns the user’s current erase character.

       The erasewchar routine stores the current erase character in the loca-
       tion referenced by ch.  If no erase character has  been	defined,  the
       routine fails and the location referenced by ch is not changed.

       The  has_ic  routine  is	 true if the terminal has insert- and delete-
       character capabilities.

       The has_il routine is true if the terminal has insert- and delete-line
       capabilities,  or  can  simulate	 them  using scrolling regions.	 This
       might be used to determine if it would be appropriate to turn on phys-
       ical scrolling using scrollok.

       The killchar routine returns the user’s current line kill character.

       The  killwchar  routine	stores the current line-kill character in the
       location referenced  by	ch.   If  no  line-kill	 character  has	 been
       defined,	 the  routine  fails and the location referenced by ch is not
       changed.

       The longname routine returns a pointer to a static area	containing  a
       verbose	description of the current terminal.  The maximum length of a
       verbose description is 128 characters.  It is defined only  after  the
       call  to	 initscr or newterm.  The area is overwritten by each call to
       newterm and is not restored by set_term, so the value should be	saved
       between calls to newterm if longname is going to be used with multiple
       terminals.

       If a given terminal doesn’t support a video attribute that an applica-
       tion program is trying to use, curses may substitute a different video
       attribute for it.  The termattrs and  term_attrs	 functions  return  a
       logical	OR of all video attributes supported by the terminal using A_
       and WA_ constants respectively.	This information  is  useful  when  a
       curses  program	needs  complete	 control  over	the appearance of the
       screen.

       The termname routine returns the terminal name used by setupterm.

RETURN VALUE
       longname and termname return NULL on error.

       Routines that return an integer return ERR upon failure and  OK	(SVr4
       only specifies "an integer value other than ERR") upon successful com-
       pletion.

NOTES
       Note that termattrs may be a macro.

PORTABILITY
       The XSI Curses  standard,  Issue	 4  describes  these  functions.   It
       changes	the  return  type  of termattrs to the new type attr_t.	 Most
       versions of curses truncate the result  returned	 by  termname  to  14
       characters.
