NAME
       nl, nonl - enable/disable newline control

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 nl(void);

       int nonl(void);

DESCRIPTION
       The  nl() function enables the handling of newlines.  The nl() function
       converts newline into carriage return and line feed  on output and con‐
       verts  carriage return into newline on input.  nonl() disables the han‐
       dling of newlines.

       The handling of newlines is initially enabled.  Disabling the  handling
       of  newlines  results  in faster cursor motion since  X/Open Curses can
       use the line-feed capability more efficiently.

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

ERRORS
       None.
