DESCRIPTION
       The  following  routines	 give low-level access to various curses func‐
       tionality. Theses routines typically are used inside library routines.

       The def_prog_mode() and def_shell_mode() routines save the current ter‐
       minal  modes as the ``program'' (in curses) or ``shell'' (not in curses
       ) state for use by the reset_prog_mode()	 and  reset_shell_mode()  rou‐
       tines. This is done automatically by initscr().

       The  reset_prog_mode() and reset_shell_mode() routines restore the ter‐
       minal to ``program'' (in curses) or ``shell'' (out  of  curses)	state.
       These  are  done	 automatically	by endwin() and, after an endwin(), by
       doupdate(), so they normally are not called.

       The resetty() and savetty() routines save and restore the state of  the
       terminal	 modes.	 savetty()  saves  the	current	 state in a buffer and
       resetty() restores the state to	what  it  was  at  the	last  call  to
       savetty().

       With  the  getsyx()  routine,  the  current  coordinates of the virtual
       screen cursor are returned in y and x. If leaveok() is currently	 TRUE,
       then  −1,−1 is returned. If lines have been removed from the top of the
       screen, using ripoffline(), y and x include these lines;	 therefore,  y
       and x should be used only as arguments for  setsyx().

       With the setsyx() routine, the virtual screen cursor is set to y, x. If
       y and x are both −1, then leaveok() is set. The two  routines  getsyx()
       and setsyx() are designed to be used by a library routine, which manip‐
       ulates curses windows but does not want to change the current  position
       of the program's cursor. The library routine would call getsyx() at the
       beginning, do its manipulation of its own windows, do a	wnoutrefresh()
       on its windows, call setsyx(), and then call doupdate().

       The  ripoffline()  routine  provides  access  to the same facility that
       slk_init() (see curs_slk(3CURSES)) uses	to  reduce  the	 size  of  the
       screen.	ripoffline()  must  be called before initscr() or newterm() is
       called. If line is positive, a line is removed from  the	 top  of  std‐
       scr();  if  line	 is  negative, a line is removed from the bottom. When
       this is done inside initscr(), the  routine  init()  (supplied  by  the
       user)  is  called  with two arguments: a window pointer to the one-line
       window that has been allocated and an integer with the number  of  col‐
       umns  in	 the  window.  Inside this initialization routine, the integer
       variables LINES and COLS (defined in <curses.h>) are not guaranteed  to
       be  accurate  and  wrefresh()  or  doupdate() must not be called. It is
       allowable to call wnoutrefresh() during the initialization routine.

       ripoffline() can be called up to five times before calling initscr() or
       newterm().

       With the curs_set() routine, the cursor state is set to invisible, nor‐
       mal, or very visible for visibility equal to 0, 1, or  2	 respectively.
       If  the terminal supports the  visibility requested, the previous  cur‐
       sor state is returned; otherwise, ERR is returned.

       The napms() routine is used to sleep for ms milliseconds.

RETURN VALUES
       Except for curs_set(), these  routines  always  return  OK.  curs_set()
       returns	the  previous cursor state, or ERR if the requested visibility
       is not supported.

ATTRIBUTES
       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

NOTES
       The header <curses.h> automatically includes the headers	 <stdio.h> and
       <unctrl.h>.

       Note  that  getsyx()  is	 a macro, so an ampersand (&) is not necessary
       before the variables y and x.
