</PRE><H3><a name="h3-baudrate">baudrate</a></H3><PRE>
The <STRONG>baudrate</STRONG> routine returns the output speed of the terminal. The
number returned is in bits per second, for example <STRONG>9600</STRONG>, and is an
integer.
</PRE><H3><a name="h3-erasechar_-erasewchar">erasechar, erasewchar</a></H3><PRE>
The <STRONG>erasechar</STRONG> routine returns the user's current erase character.
The <STRONG>erasewchar</STRONG> routine stores the current erase character in the loca-
tion referenced by <EM>ch</EM>. If no erase character has been defined, the
routine fails and the location referenced by <EM>ch</EM> is not changed.
</PRE><H3><a name="h3-has_is_-has_il">has_is, has_il</a></H3><PRE>
The <STRONG>has_ic</STRONG> routine is true if the terminal has insert- and delete-
character capabilities.
The <STRONG>has_il</STRONG> 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 physical
scrolling using <STRONG>scrollok</STRONG>.
</PRE><H3><a name="h3-killchar_-killwchar">killchar, killwchar</a></H3><PRE>
The <STRONG>killchar</STRONG> routine returns the user's current line kill character.
The <STRONG>killwchar</STRONG> routine stores the current line-kill character in the
location referenced by <EM>ch</EM>. If no line-kill character has been defined,
the routine fails and the location referenced by <EM>ch</EM> is not changed.
</PRE><H3><a name="h3-longname">longname</a></H3><PRE>
The <STRONG>longname</STRONG> 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 <STRONG>initscr</STRONG> or <STRONG>newterm</STRONG>. The area is overwritten by each call to
<STRONG>newterm</STRONG> and is not restored by <STRONG>set_term</STRONG>, so the value should be saved
between calls to <STRONG>newterm</STRONG> if <STRONG>longname</STRONG> is going to be used with multiple
terminals.
</PRE><H3><a name="h3-termattrs_-term_attrs">termattrs, term_attrs</a></H3><PRE>
If a given terminal does not support a video attribute that an applica-
tion program is trying to use, <STRONG>curses</STRONG> may substitute a different video
attribute for it. The <STRONG>termattrs</STRONG> and <STRONG>term_attrs</STRONG> functions return a log-
ical <STRONG>OR</STRONG> of all video attributes supported by the terminal using <EM>A</EM><STRONG>_</STRONG> and
<EM>WA</EM><STRONG>_</STRONG> constants respectively. This information is useful when a <STRONG>curses</STRONG>
program needs complete control over the appearance of the screen.
</PRE><H3><a name="h3-termname">termname</a></H3><PRE>
The <STRONG>termname</STRONG> routine returns the terminal name used by <STRONG>setupterm</STRONG>.
</PRE><H2><a name="h2-RETURN-VALUE">RETURN VALUE</a></H2><PRE>
<STRONG>longname</STRONG> and <STRONG>termname</STRONG> return <STRONG>NULL</STRONG> on error.
Routines that return an integer return <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon failure and <STRONG>OK</STRONG> (SVr4
only specifies "an integer value other than <STRONG>ERR</STRONG>") upon successful com-
pletion.
</PRE><H2><a name="h2-NOTES">NOTES</a></H2><PRE>
Note that <STRONG>termattrs</STRONG> may be a macro.
</PRE><H2><a name="h2-PORTABILITY">PORTABILITY</a></H2><PRE>
The XSI Curses standard, Issue 4 describes these functions. It changes
the return type of <STRONG>termattrs</STRONG> to the new type <STRONG>attr_t</STRONG>. Most versions of
curses truncate the result returned by <STRONG>termname</STRONG> to 14 characters.
