int putp(const char *str);
int tputs(const char *str, int affcnt, int (*putfunc) (int));
PARAMETERS
str
Is a pointer to a terminfo variable or return value from
tgetstr(3XCURSES), tgoto(3XCURSES), tigetstr(3XCURSES), or
tparm(3XCURSES).
affcnt
Is the number of lines affected, or 1 if not relevant.
putfunc
Is the output function.
DESCRIPTION
The putp() and tputs() functions are low-level functions used to deal
directly with the terminfo database. The use of appropriate X/Open
Curses functions is recommended for most situations.
The tputs() function adds padding information and then outputs str.
str must be a terminfo string variable or the result value from tget‐
str(), tgoto(), tigetstr(), or tparm(). The tputs() function replaces
the padding specification (if one exists) with enough characters to
produce the specified delay. Characters are output one at a time to
putfunc, a user-specified function similar to putchar(3C).
The putp() function calls tputs() as follows:
tputs(str, 1, putchar)
RETURN VALUES
On success, these functions return OK.
ERRORS
None.
USAGE
The output of putp() goes to stdout, not to the file descriptor,
fildes, specified in setupterm(3XCURSES).
