CBREAK(3XCURSES)					      CBREAK(3XCURSES)

NAME
       cbreak, nocbreak, noraw, raw - set input mode controls

SYNOPSIS
       cc [ flag... ] file... -I /usr/xpg4/include  -L	/usr/xpg4/lib \
	-R  /usr/xpg4/lib  -lcurses  [ library... ]

       c89 [ flag... ] file... -lcurses [ library... ]

       #include <curses.h>

       int cbreak(void);

       int nocbreak(void);

       int noraw(void);

       int raw(void);

DESCRIPTION
       The  cbreak() function enables the character input mode. This overrides
       any previous call to the raw() function and turns the stty flag	ICANON
       off.

       The nocbreak() function sets the line canonical mode and turns the stty
       flag ICANON on without touching the ISIG or IXON flags.

       The noraw() function sets the line canonical mode and  turns  the  stty
       flags ICANON, ISIG, and IXON all on.

       The  raw()  function  sets  the character input mode and turns the stty
       flags ICANON, ISIG, and IXON all off.  This mode provides maximum  con‐
       trol over input.

       It  is  important  to  remember	that the terminal may or may not be in
       character mode operation initially.   Most interactive programs require
       cbreak() to be enabled.

RETURN VALUES
       On success, these functions return OK. Otherwise, they return ERR.

ERRORS
       None.
