int putp(const char *str);
int tputs(const char *str, int affcnt, int (*putfunc) (int));
PARAMETERS
str Is a pointer to a terminfo variable or return
value from tgetstr(3XCURSES), tgoto(3XCURSES),
tigetstr(3XCURSES), or tparm(3XCURSES).
affcnt Is the number of lines affected, or 1 if not
relevant.
putfunc Is the output function.
DESCRIPTION
The putp() and tputs() functions are low-level functions used to deal
directly with the terminfo database. The use of appropriate X/Open
Curses functions is recommended for most situations.
The tputs() function adds padding information and then outputs str. str
must be a terminfo string variable or the result value from tgetstr(),
tgoto(), tigetstr(), or tparm(). The tputs() function replaces the
padding specification (if one exists) with enough characters to produce
the specified delay. Characters are output one at a time to putfunc, a
user-specified function similar to putchar(3C).
The putp() function calls tputs() as follows:
tputs(str, 1, putchar)
RETURN VALUES
On success, these functions return OK.
ERRORS
None.
USAGE
The output of putp() goes to stdout, not to the file descriptor,
fildes, specified in setupterm(3XCURSES).
