nl(3XCURSES) X/Open Curses Library Functions nl(3XCURSES)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.
