do checking, rather just scrolls the scrolling region so we shall
follow suit. SUSv2 says what is happens when scrl is called with the
cursor outside the scrolling is undefined so we should match ncurses.
This fixes PR#51819 without forcing tin to use terminfo directly.
term.h #defines lines, pad_char and no_color_video macros which conflict
with existing curses code. We change lines to alines and nlines depending
on use, pad_char to padchar and no_color_video becomes no_color_attributes
but with a strong alias from no_color_video.
(this is a requirement of SUSv2) - the old macro behaviour can be
restored by defining _CURSES_USE_MACROS.
Changed function prototypes to use ANSI style.
All externally visible functions now have ANSI style declarations.
of the SYSV curses facilities. The added features are the collapsing
of arrow and function keysequences (as defined by termcap for the
terminal) into symbolic code returns thus relieving the application of
recognising multi-character key sequences. Other features are the
capability to perform a timed wait for a key (good for when you are
not sure if there is a keypress ready or not) and the capability for
turning off the inter-key timeout when assembling multi-character
function keys.
