From: ashley@cco.caltech.edu (Allen M. Ashley) Subject: Curses:where are nodelay() and keypad()? Date: 10 Aug 1993 18:55:56 GMT
The man pages on CURSES describe the routine nodelay(win,bool)
that enable/disable waiting for a character and keypad() which
returns a unique single value for cursor control keys instead
of the multi-byte sequence that you get by default. I tried
to use these routines in a small program key.c that I compiled
as:
cc -o key ky.c -lcurses -ltermcap
I used the initwin()/endwin() stuff. The loader quits, being
unable to find nodelay() or keypad(). Does anybody know what
is going on? One friend says the routine nodelay() is not
described in the O'Reilly book. Is the man out of date? Are
there other routines to replace these?
Thanks.
