.SH NAME
|
||
|
|
\fBscroll\fR, \fBsrcl\fR, \fBwscrl\fR - scroll a \fBcurses\fR window
|
||
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
\fB#include <curses.h>\fR
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\fBint scroll(WINDOW *win);\fR
|
||
|
|
.br
|
||
|
|
\fBint scrl(int n);\fR
|
||
|
|
.br
|
||
|
|
\fBint wscrl(WINDOW *win, int n);\fR
|
||
|
|
.br
|
||
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
The \fBscroll\fR routine scrolls the window up one line. This involves moving
|
||
|
|
the lines in the window data structure. As an optimization, if the scrolling
|
||
|
|
region of the window is the entire screen, the physical screen may be scrolled
|
||
|
|
at the same time.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For positive \fIn\fR, the \fBscrl\fR and \fBwscrl\fR routines scroll the
|
||
|
|
window up \fIn\fR lines (line \fIi\fR+\fIn\fR becomes \fIi\fR); otherwise
|
||
|
|
scroll the window down \fIn\fR lines. This involves moving the lines in the
|
||
|
|
window character image structure. The current cursor position is not changed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For these functions to work, scrolling must be enabled via \fBscrollok\fR.
|
||
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUE
|
||
|
|
These routines return \fBERR\fR upon failure, and \fBOK\fR (SVr4 only specifies
|
||
|
|
"an integer value other than \fBERR\fR") upon successful completion.
|
||
|
|
.SH NOTES
|
||
|
|
Note that \fBscrl\fR and \fBscroll\fR may be macros.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The SVr4 documentation says that the optimization of physically scrolling
|
||
|
|
immediately if the scroll region is the entire screen "is" performed, not
|
||
|
|
"may be" performed. This implementation deliberately does not guarantee
|
||
|
|
that this will occur, in order to leave open the possibility of smarter
|
||
|
|
optimization of multiple scroll actions on the next update.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Neither the SVr4 documentation specifies whether the current attribute or
|
||
|
|
current color-pair of blanks generated by the scroll function is zeroed.
|
||
|
|
Under this implementation it is.
|
||
|
|
.SH PORTABILITY
|
||
|
|
The XSI Curses standard, Issue 4 describes these functions.
