.SH NAME
|
|
\fBuse_legacy_coding\fR \- use terminal's default colors
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
\fB#include <curses.h>\fP
|
|
.sp
|
|
\fBint use_legacy_coding(int level);\fP
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.I use_legacy_coding()
|
|
function is an extension to the curses library.
|
|
It allows the caller to change the result of \fBunctrl\fP,
|
|
and suppress related checks within the library that would normally
|
|
cause nonprinting characters to be rendered in visible form.
|
|
This affects only 8-bit characters.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The \fIlevel\fP parameter controls the result:
|
|
.RS
|
|
.TP 5
|
|
0
|
|
the library functions normally,
|
|
rendering nonprinting characters as described in \fBunctrl\fP(3X).
|
|
.TP
|
|
1
|
|
the library ignores \fBisprintf\fP for codes in the range 160-255.
|
|
.TP
|
|
2
|
|
the library ignores \fBisprintf\fP for codes in the range 128-255.
|
|
It also modifies the output of \fBunctrl\fP, showing codes in the
|
|
range 128-159 as is.
|
|
.RE
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUE
|
|
If the screen has not been initialized,
|
|
or the \fIlevel\fP parameter is out of range,
|
|
the function returns \fBERR\fP.
|
|
Otherwise, it returns the previous level: \fB0\fP, \fB1\fP or \fB2\fP.
|
|
.SH PORTABILITY
|
|
This routine is specific to ncurses.
|
|
It was not supported on Version 7, BSD or System V implementations.
|
|
It is recommended that any code depending on ncurses extensions
|
|
be conditioned using NCURSES_VERSION.
|
|
