## NAME

           baudrate,  erasechar,  has_ic, has_il, killchar, longname,
           termattrs, termname - curses environment query routines

## SYNOPSIS

           #include <curses.h>

           int baudrate(void);
           char erasechar(void);
           bool has_ic(void);
           bool has_il(void);
           char killchar(void);
           char *longname(void);
           attr_t termattrs(void);
           char *termname(void);

## DESCRIPTION

           The baudrate routine returns the output speed of the  ter-
           minal.   The  number  returned  is in bits per second, for
           example 9600, and is an integer.

           The erasechar routine returns  the  user's  current  erase
           character.

           The has_ic routine is true if the terminal has insert- and
           delete- character capabilities.

           The has_il 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
           scrollok.

           The killchar routine returns the user's current line  kill
           character.

           The  longname  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 charac-
           ters.  It is defined only after the  call  to  initscr  or
           newterm.   The area is overwritten by each call to newterm
           and is not restored by set_term, so the  value  should  be
           saved  between calls to newterm if longname is going to be
           used with multiple terminals.

           If a given terminal doesn't support a video attribute that
           an  application  program is trying to use, curses may sub-
           stitute a different video attribute for it.  The termattrs
           function returns a logical OR of all video attributes sup-
           ported by the terminal.  This information is useful when a
           curses  program needs complete control over the appearance
           of the screen.

           The  termname   routine   returns   the   value   of   the
           environmental  variable TERM (truncated to 14 characters).

## RETURN VALUE

           longname and termname return NULL on error.

           Routines that return an integer return  ERR  upon  failure
           and  OK  (SVr4 only specifies "an integer value other than
           ERR") upon successful completion.

## NOTES

           Note that termattrs may be a macro.

## PORTABILITY

           The XSI Curses standard, Issue  4  describes  these  func-
           tions.  It changes the return type of termattrs to the new
           type attr_t.
