NAME
       getmouse, ungetmouse, mousemask, wenclose, mouse_trafo, wmouse_trafo,
       mouseinterval - mouse interface through curses

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curses.h>

       typedef unsigned long mmask_t;

       typedef struct
       {
	   short id;	     /* ID to distinguish multiple devices */
	   int x, y, z;	     /* event coordinates */
	   mmask_t bstate;   /* button state bits */
       }
       MEVENT;
       int getmouse(MEVENT *event);
       int ungetmouse(MEVENT *event);
       mmask_t mousemask(mmask_t newmask, mmask_t *oldmask);
       bool wenclose(const WINDOW *win, int y, int x);
       bool mouse_trafo(int* pY, int* pX, bool to_screen);
       bool wmouse_trafo(const WINDOW* win, int* pY, int* pX,
	    bool to_screen);
       int mouseinterval(int erval);

DESCRIPTION
       These functions provide an interface to mouse events from ncurses(3).
       Mouse events are represented by KEY_MOUSE pseudo-key values in the
       wgetch input stream.

       To make mouse events visible, use the mousemask function.  This will
       set the mouse events to be reported.  By default, no mouse events are
       reported.  The function will return a mask to indicate which of the
       specified mouse events can be reported; on complete failure it returns
       0.  If oldmask is non-NULL, this function fills the indicated location
       with the previous value of the given window's mouse event mask.

       As a side effect, setting a zero mousemask may turn off the mouse
       pointer; setting a nonzero mask may turn it on.	Whether this happens
       is device-dependent.

       Here are the mouse event type masks which may be defined:

       Once a class of mouse events have been made visible in a window,
       calling the wgetch function on that window may return KEY_MOUSE as an
       indicator that a mouse event has been queued.  To read the event data
       and pop the event off the queue, call getmouse.	This function will
       return OK if a mouse event is actually visible in the given window, ERR
       otherwise.  When getmouse returns OK, the data deposited as y and x in
       the event structure coordinates will be screen-relative character-cell
       coordinates.  The returned state mask will have exactly one bit set to
       indicate the event type.

       The ungetmouse function behaves analogously to ungetch.	It pushes a
       KEY_MOUSE event onto the input queue, and associates with that event
       the given state data and screen-relative character-cell coordinates.

       The wenclose function tests whether a given pair of screen-relative
       character-cell coordinates is enclosed by a given window, returning
       TRUE if it is and FALSE otherwise.  It is useful for determining what
       subset of the screen windows enclose the location of a mouse event.

       The wmouse_trafo function transforms a given pair of coordinates from
       stdscr-relative coordinates to coordinates relative to the given window
       or vice versa.  Please remember, that stdscr-relative coordinates are
       not always identical to window-relative coordinates due to the
       mechanism to reserve lines on top or bottom of the screen for other
       purposes (see the ripoffline() and slk_init calls, for example).	 If
       the parameter to_screen is TRUE, the pointers pY, pX must reference the
       coordinates of a location inside the window win.	 They are converted to
       window-relative coordinates and returned through the pointers.  If the
       conversion was successful, the function returns TRUE.  If one of the
       parameters was NULL or the location is not inside the window, FALSE is
       returned.  If to_screen is FALSE, the pointers pY, pX must reference
       window-relative coordinates.  They are converted to stdscr-relative
       coordinates if the window win encloses this point.  In this case the
       function returns TRUE.  If one of the parameters is NULL or the point
       is not inside the window, FALSE is returned.  Please notice, that the
       referenced coordinates are only replaced by the converted coordinates
       if the transformation was successful.

       The mouse_trafo function performs the same translation as wmouse_trafo,
       using stdscr for win.

       The mouseinterval function sets the maximum time (in thousands of a
       second) that can elapse between press and release events for them to be
       recognized as a click.  Use mouseinterval(0) to disable click
       resolution.  This function returns the previous interval value.	Use
       mouseinterval(-1) to obtain the interval without altering it.  The
       default is one sixth of a second.

       Note that mouse events will be ignored when input is in cooked mode,
       and will cause an error beep when cooked mode is being simulated in a
       window by a function such as getstr that expects a linefeed for
       input-loop termination.

RETURN VALUE
       getmouse and ungetmouse return the integer ERR upon failure or OK upon
       successful completion.
	      getmouse
		   returns an error.  If no mouse driver was initialized, or
		   if the mask parameter is zero,

	      ungetmouse
		   returns an error if the FIFO is full.

       mousemask returns the mask of reportable events.

       mouseinterval returns the previous interval value, unless the terminal
       was not initialized.  In that case, it returns the maximum interval
       value (166).

       wenclose and wmouse_trafo are boolean functions returning TRUE or FALSE
       depending on their test result.

PORTABILITY
       These calls were designed for ncurses(3), and are not found in SVr4
       curses, 4.4BSD curses, or any other previous version of curses.

       The feature macro NCURSES_MOUSE_VERSION is provided so the preprocessor
       can be used to test whether these features are present.	If the
       interface is changed, the value of NCURSES_MOUSE_VERSION will be
       incremented.  These values for NCURSES_MOUSE_VERSION may be specified
       when configuring ncurses:
	      1	 has definitions for reserved events.  The mask uses 28 bits.

	      2	 adds definitions for button 5, removes the definitions for
		 reserved events.  The mask uses 29 bits.

       The order of the MEVENT structure members is not guaranteed.
       Additional fields may be added to the structure in the future.

       Under ncurses(3), these calls are implemented using either xterm's
       built-in mouse-tracking API or platform-specific drivers including
	      Alessandro Rubini's gpm server.
	      FreeBSD sysmouse
	      OS/2 EMX
       If you are using an unsupported configuration, mouse events will not be
       visible to ncurses(3) (and the mousemask function will always return
       0).

       If the terminfo entry contains a XM string, this is used in the xterm
       mouse driver to control the way the terminal is initialized for mouse
       operation.  The default, if XM is not found, corresponds to private
       mode 1000 of xterm:
	      \E[?1000%?%p1%{1}%=%th%el%;
       The z member in the event structure is not presently used.  It is
       intended for use with touch screens (which may be pressure-sensitive)
       or with 3D-mice/trackballs/power gloves.

BUGS
       Mouse events under xterm will not in fact be ignored during cooked
       mode, if they have been enabled by mousemask.  Instead, the xterm mouse
       report sequence will appear in the string read.

       Mouse events under xterm will not be detected correctly in a window
       with its keypad bit off, since they are interpreted as a variety of
       function key.  Your terminfo description should have kmous set to
       "\E[M" (the beginning of the response from xterm for mouse clicks).
       Other values for kmous are permitted, but under the same assumption,
       i.e., it is the beginning of the response.

       Because there are no standard terminal responses that would serve to
       identify terminals which support the xterm mouse protocol, ncurses
       assumes that if your $TERM environment variable contains "xterm", or
       kmous is defined in the terminal description, then the terminal may
       send mouse events.
