6.13.1 Functions

The module curses defines the following exception:

exception error: Exception raised when a curses library function returns an error.

Note: Whenever x or y arguments to a function or a method are optional, they default to the current cursor location. Whenever attr is optional, it defaults to A_NORMAL.

The module curses defines the following functions:

baudrate(): Returns the output speed of the terminal in bits per second. On software terminal emulators it will have a fixed high value. Included for historical reasons; in former times, it was used to write output loops for time delays and occasionally to change interfaces depending on the line speed.

beep(): Emit a short attention sound.

can_change_color(): Returns true or false, depending on whether the programmer can change the colors displayed by the terminal.

cbreak(): Enter cbreak mode. In cbreak mode (sometimes called ``rare'' mode) normal tty line buffering is turned off and characters are available to be read one by one. However, unlike raw mode, special characters (interrupt, quit, suspend, and flow control) retain their effects on the tty driver and calling program. Calling first raw() then cbreak() leaves the terminal in cbreak mode.

color_content(color_number): Returns the intensity of the red, green, and blue (RGB) components in the color color_number, which must be between 0 and COLORS. A 3-tuple is returned, containing the R,G,B values for the given color, which will be between 0 (no component) and 1000 (maximum amount of component).

color_pair(color_number): Returns the attribute value for displaying text in the specified color. This attribute value can be combined with A_STANDOUT, A_REVERSE, and the other A_* attributes. pair_number() is the counterpart to this function.

curs_set(visibility): Sets the cursor state. visibility can be set to 0, 1, or 2, for invisible, normal, or very visible. If the terminal supports the visibility requested, the previous cursor state is returned; otherwise, an exception is raised. On many terminals, the ``visible'' mode is an underline cursor and the ``very visible'' mode is a block cursor.

def_prog_mode(): Saves the current terminal mode as the ``program'' mode, the mode when the running program is using curses. (Its counterpart is the ``shell'' mode, for when the program is not in curses.) Subsequent calls to reset_prog_mode() will restore this mode.

def_shell_mode(): Saves the current terminal mode as the ``shell'' mode, the mode when the running program is not using curses. (Its counterpart is the ``program'' mode, when the program is using curses capabilities.) Subsequent calls to reset_shell_mode() will restore this mode.

delay_output(ms): Inserts an ms millisecond pause in output.

doupdate(): Update the physical screen. The curses library keeps two data structures, one representing the current physical screen contents and a virtual screen representing the desired next state. The doupdate() ground updates the physical screen to match the virtual screen.
The virtual screen may be updated by a noutrefresh() call after write operations such as addstr() have been performed on a window. The normal refresh() call is simply noutrefresh() followed by doupdate(); if you have to update multiple windows, you can speed performance and perhaps reduce screen flicker by issuing noutrefresh() calls on all windows, followed by a single doupdate().

echo(): Enter echo mode. In echo mode, each character input is echoed to the screen as it is entered.

endwin(): De-initialize the library, and return terminal to normal status.

erasechar(): Returns the user's current erase character. Under Unix operating systems this is a property of the controlling tty of the curses program, and is not set by the curses library itself.

filter(): The filter() routine, if used, must be called before initscr() is called. The effect is that, during those calls, LINES is set to 1; the capabilities clear, cup, cud, cud1, cuu1, cuu, vpa are disabled; and the home string is set to the value of cr. The effect is that the cursor is confined to the current line, and so are screen updates. This may be used for enabling cgaracter-at-a-time line editing without touching the rest of the screen.

flash(): Flash the screen. That is, change it to reverse-video and then change it back in a short interval. Some people prefer such as `visible bell' to the audible attention signal produced by beep().

flushinp(): Flush all input buffers. This throws away any typeahead that has been typed by the user and has not yet been processed by the program.

getmouse(): After getch() returns KEY_MOUSE to signal a mouse event, this method should be call to retrieve the queued mouse event, represented as a 5-tuple (id, x, y, z, bstate). id is an ID value used to distinguish multiple devices, and x, y, z are the event's coordinates. (z is currently unused.). bstate is an integer value whose bits will be set to indicate the type of event, and will be the bitwise OR of one or more of the following constants, where n is the button number from 1 to 4: BUTTONn_PRESSED, BUTTONn_RELEASED, BUTTONn_CLICKED, BUTTONn_DOUBLE_CLICKED, BUTTONn_TRIPLE_CLICKED, BUTTON_SHIFT, BUTTON_CTRL, BUTTON_ALT.

getsyx(): Returns the current coordinates of the virtual screen cursor in y and x. If leaveok is currently true, then -1,-1 is returned.

getwin(file): Reads window related data stored in the file by an earlier putwin() call. The routine then creates and initializes a new window using that data, returning the new window object.

has_colors(): Returns true if the terminal can display colors; otherwise, it returns false.

has_ic(): Returns true if the terminal has insert- and delete- character capabilities. This function is included for historical reasons only, as all modern software terminal emulators have such capabilities.

has_il(): Returns true if the terminal has insert- and delete-line capabilities, or can simulate them using scrolling regions. This function is included for historical reasons only, as all modern software terminal emulators have such capabilities.

has_key(ch): Takes a key value ch, and returns true if the current terminal type recognizes a key with that value.

halfdelay(tenths): Used for half-delay mode, which is similar to cbreak mode in that characters typed by the user are immediately available to the program. However, after blocking for tenths tenths of seconds, an exception is raised if nothing has been typed. The value of tenths must be a number between 1 and 255. Use nocbreak() to leave half-delay mode.

init_color(color_number, r, g, b): Changes the definition of a color, taking the number of the color to be changed followed by three RGB values (for the amounts of red, green, and blue components). The value of color_number must be between 0 and COLORS. Each of r, g, b, must be a value between 0 and 1000. When init_color() is used, all occurrences of that color on the screen immediately change to the new definition. This function is a no-op on most terminals; it is active only if can_change_color() returns 1.

init_pair(pair_number, fg, bg): Changes the definition of a color-pair. It takes three arguments: the number of the color-pair to be changed, the foreground color number, and the background color number. The value of pair_number must be between 1 and COLOR_PAIRS - 1 (the 0 color pair is wired to white on black and cannot be changed). The value of fg and bg arguments must be between 0 and COLORS. If the color-pair was previously initialized, the screen is refreshed and all occurrences of that color-pair are changed to the new definition.

initscr(): Initialize the library. Returns a WindowObject which represents the whole screen.

isendwin(): Returns true if endwin() has been called (that is, the curses library has been deinitialized).

keyname(k): Return the name of the key numbered k. The name of a key generating printable ASCII character is the key's character. The name of a control-key combination is a two-character string consisting of a caret followed by the corresponding printable ASCII character. The name of an alt-key combination (128-255) is a string consisting of the prefix `M-' followed by the name of the corresponding ASCII character.

killchar(): Returns the user's current line kill character. Under Unix operating systems this is a property of the controlling tty of the curses program, and is not set by the curses library itself.

longname(): Returns a string containing the terminfo long name field describing the current terminal. The maximum length of a verbose description is 128 characters. It is defined only after the call to initscr().

meta(yes): If yes is 1, allow 8-bit characters to be input. If yes is 0, allow only 7-bit chars.

mouseinterval(interval): Sets the maximum time in milliseconds that can elapse between press and release events in order for them to be recognized as a click, and returns the previous interval value. The default value is 200 msec, or one fifth of a second.

mousemask(mousemask): Sets the mouse events to be reported, and returns a tuple (availmask, oldmask). availmask indicates which of the specified mouse events can be reported; on complete failure it returns 0. oldmask is the previous value of the given window's mouse event mask. If this function is never called, no mouse events are ever reported.

napms(ms): Sleep for ms milliseconds.

newpad(nlines, ncols): Creates and returns a pointer to a new pad data structure with the given number of lines and columns. A pad is returned as a window object.
A pad is like a window, except that it is not restricted by the screen size, and is not necessarily associated with a particular part of the screen. Pads can be used when a large window is needed, and only a part of the window will be on the screen at one time. Automatic refreshes of pads (e.g., from scrolling or echoing of input) do not occur. The refresh() and noutrefresh() methods of a pad require 6 arguments to specify the part of the pad to be displayed and the location on the screen to be used for the display. The arguments are pminrow, pmincol, sminrow, smincol, smaxrow, smaxcol; the p arguments refer to the upper left corner of the the pad region to be displayed and the s arguments define a clipping box on the screen within which the pad region is to be displayed.

newwin([nlines, ncols,] begin_y, begin_x): Return a new window, whose left-upper corner is at (begin_y, begin_x), and whose height/width is nlines/ncols.
By default, the window will extend from the specified position to the lower right corner of the screen.

nl(): Enter newline mode. This mode translates the return key into newline on input, and translates newline into return and line-feed on output. Newline mode is initially on.

nocbreak(): Leave cbreak mode. Return to normal ``cooked'' mode with line buffering.

noecho(): Leave echo mode. Echoing of input characters is turned off,

nonl(): Leave newline mode. Disable translation of return into newline on input, and disable low-level translation of newline into newline/return on output (but this does not change the behavior of addch('\n'), which always does the equivalent of return and line feed on the virtual screen). With translation off, curses can sometimes speed up vertical motion a little; also, it will be able to detect the return key on input.

noqiflush(): When the noqiflush routine is used, normal flush of input and output queues associated with the INTR, QUIT and SUSP characters will not be done. You may want to call noqiflush() in a signal handler if you want output to continue as though the interrupt had not occurred, after the handler exits.

noraw(): Leave raw mode. Return to normal ``cooked'' mode with line buffering.

pair_content(pair_number): Returns a tuple (fg,bg) containing the colors for the requested color pair. The value of pair_number must be between 0 and COLOR_PAIRS-1.

pair_number(attr): Returns the number of the color-pair set by the attribute value attr. color_pair() is the counterpart to this function.

putp(string): Equivalent to tputs(str, 1, putchar); emits the value of a specified terminfo capability for the current terminal. Note that the output of putp always goes to standard output.

qiflush([flag]): If flag is false, the effect is the same as calling noqiflush(). If flag is true, or no argument is provided, the queues will be flushed when these control characters are read.

raw(): Enter raw mode. In raw mode, normal line buffering and processing of interrupt, quit, suspend, and flow control keys are turned off; characters are presented to curses input functions one by one.

reset_prog_mode(): Restores the terminal to ``program'' mode, as previously saved by def_prog_mode().

reset_shell_mode(): Restores the terminal to ``shell'' mode, as previously saved by def_shell_mode().

setsyx(y, x): Sets the virtual screen cursor to y, x. If y and x are both -1, then leaveok is set.

setupterm([termstr, fd]): Initializes the terminal. termstr is a string giving the terminal name; if omitted, the value of the TERM environment variable will be used. fd is the file descriptor to which any initialization sequences will be sent; if not supplied, the file descriptor for sys.stdout will be used.

start_color(): Must be called if the programmer wants to use colors, and before any other color manipulation routine is called. It is good practice to call this routine right after initscr().
start_color() initializes eight basic colors (black, red, green, yellow, blue, magenta, cyan, and white), and two global variables in the curses module, COLORS and COLOR_PAIRS, containing the maximum number of colors and color-pairs the terminal can support. It also restores the colors on the terminal to the values they had when the terminal was just turned on.

termattrs(): Returns a logical OR of all video attributes supported by the terminal. This information is useful when a curses program needs complete control over the appearance of the screen.

termname(): Returns the value of the environment variable TERM, truncated to 14 characters.

tigetflag(capname): Returns the value of the Boolean capability corresponding to the terminfo capability name capname. The value -1 is returned if capname is not a Boolean capability, or 0 if it is canceled or absent from the terminal description.

tigetnum(capname): Returns the value of the numeric capability corresponding to the terminfo capability name capname. The value -2 is returned if capname is not a numeric capability, or -1 if it is canceled or absent from the terminal description.

tigetstr(capname): Returns the value of the string capability corresponding to the terminfo capability name capname. None is returned if capname is not a string capability, or is canceled or absent from the terminal description.

tparm(str[,...]): Instantiates the string str with the supplied parameters, where str should be a parameterized string obtained from the terminfo database. E.g. tparm(tigetstr("cup"), 5, 3) could result in '\033[6;4H', the exact result depending on terminal type.

typeahead(fd): Specifies that the file descriptor fd be used for typeahead checking. If fd is -1, then no typeahead checking is done.
The curses library does ``line-breakout optimization'' by looking for typeahead periodically while updating the screen. If input is found, and it is coming from a tty, the current update is postponed until refresh or doupdate is called again, allowing faster response to commands typed in advance. This function allows specifying a different file descriptor for typeahead checking.

unctrl(ch): Returns a string which is a printable representation of the character ch. Control characters are displayed as a caret followed by the character, for example as ^C. Printing characters are left as they are.

ungetch(ch): Push ch so the next getch() will return it. Note: only one ch can be pushed before getch() is called.

ungetmouse(id, x, y, z, bstate): Push a KEY_MOUSE event onto the input queue, associating the given state data with it.

use_env(flag): If used, this function should be called before initscr() or newterm are called. When flag is false, the values of lines and columns specified in the terminfo database will be used, even if environment variables LINES and COLUMNS (used by default) are set, or if curses is running in a window (in which case default behavior would be to use the window size if LINES and COLUMNS are not set).
