Red Bear OS is a full fork. All sources must be available from git clone with zero network access. Removed gitignore rules that excluded fetched source trees under recipes/*/source/, local/recipes/kde/*/source/, local/recipes/qt/*/source/, and vendor source trees. Build artifacts (target/, build/, source.tar, *.o, *.so) remain excluded. 127291 files added — kernel, relibc, base, bootloader, pkgar, all KDE/Qt frameworks, mesa, wayland, DRM drivers, and every other recipe source.

Calling <STRONG>newwin</STRONG> creates and returns a pointer to a new window with the
|
|
given number of lines and columns. The upper left-hand corner of the
|
|
window is at
|
|
line <EM>begin</EM>_<EM>y</EM>,
|
|
column <EM>begin</EM>_<EM>x</EM>
|
|
|
|
If either <EM>nlines</EM> or <EM>ncols</EM> is zero, they default to
|
|
<STRONG>LINES</STRONG> <STRONG>-</STRONG> <EM>begin</EM>_<EM>y</EM> and
|
|
<STRONG>COLS</STRONG> <STRONG>-</STRONG> <EM>begin</EM>_<EM>x</EM>.
|
|
|
|
A new full-screen window is created by calling <STRONG>newwin(0,0,0,0)</STRONG>.
|
|
|
|
Regardless of the function used for creating a new window (e.g.,
|
|
<STRONG>newwin</STRONG>, <STRONG>subwin</STRONG>, <STRONG>derwin</STRONG>, <STRONG>newpad</STRONG>), rather than a duplicate (with <STRONG>dupwin</STRONG>),
|
|
all of the window modes are initialized to the default values. The
|
|
following functions set a window's modes after it is created:
|
|
|
|
<STRONG>idcok</STRONG>, <STRONG>idlok</STRONG>, <STRONG>immedok</STRONG>, <STRONG>keypad</STRONG>, <STRONG>leaveok</STRONG>, <STRONG>nodelay</STRONG>, <STRONG>notimeout</STRONG>,
|
|
<STRONG>scrollok</STRONG>, <STRONG>setscrreg</STRONG>, <STRONG>syncok</STRONG>, <STRONG>wbkgdset</STRONG>, <STRONG>wbkgrndset</STRONG>, and <STRONG>wtimeout</STRONG>.
|
|
|
|
|
|
</PRE><H3><a name="h3-delwin">delwin</a></H3><PRE>
|
|
Calling <STRONG>delwin</STRONG> deletes the named window, freeing all memory associated
|
|
with it (it does not actually erase the window's screen image).
|
|
Subwindows must be deleted before the main window can be deleted.
|
|
|
|
|
|
</PRE><H3><a name="h3-mvwin">mvwin</a></H3><PRE>
|
|
Calling <STRONG>mvwin</STRONG> moves the window so that the upper left-hand corner is at
|
|
position (<EM>x</EM>, <EM>y</EM>). If the move would cause the window to be off the
|
|
screen, it is an error and the window is not moved. Moving subwindows
|
|
is allowed, but should be avoided.
|
|
|
|
|
|
</PRE><H3><a name="h3-subwin">subwin</a></H3><PRE>
|
|
Calling <STRONG>subwin</STRONG> creates and returns a pointer to a new window with the
|
|
given number of lines, <EM>nlines</EM>, and columns, <EM>ncols</EM>. The window is at
|
|
position (<EM>begin</EM>_<EM>y</EM>, <EM>begin</EM>_<EM>x</EM>) on the screen. The subwindow shares memory
|
|
with the window <EM>orig</EM>, its <EM>ancestor</EM>, so that changes made to one window
|
|
will affect both windows. When using this routine, it is necessary to
|
|
call <STRONG>touchwin</STRONG> or <STRONG>touchline</STRONG> on <EM>orig</EM> before calling <STRONG>wrefresh</STRONG> on the
|
|
subwindow.
|
|
|
|
|
|
</PRE><H3><a name="h3-derwin">derwin</a></H3><PRE>
|
|
Calling <STRONG>derwin</STRONG> is the same as calling <STRONG>subwin,</STRONG> except that <EM>begin</EM>_<EM>y</EM> and
|
|
<EM>begin</EM>_<EM>x</EM> are relative to the origin of the window <EM>orig</EM> rather than the
|
|
screen. There is no difference between the subwindows and the derived
|
|
windows.
|
|
|
|
|
|
</PRE><H3><a name="h3-mvderwin">mvderwin</a></H3><PRE>
|
|
Calling <STRONG>mvderwin</STRONG> moves a derived window (or subwindow) inside its
|
|
parent window. The screen-relative parameters of the window are not
|
|
changed. This routine is used to display different parts of the parent
|
|
window at the same physical position on the screen.
|
|
|
|
|
|
</PRE><H3><a name="h3-dupwin">dupwin</a></H3><PRE>
|
|
Calling <STRONG>dupwin</STRONG> creates an exact duplicate of the window <EM>win</EM>.
|
|
|
|
|
|
</PRE><H3><a name="h3-wsyncup">wsyncup</a></H3><PRE>
|
|
Calling <STRONG>wsyncup</STRONG> touches all locations in ancestors of <EM>win</EM> that are
|
|
changed in <EM>win</EM>. If <STRONG>syncok</STRONG> is called with second argument <STRONG>TRUE</STRONG> then
|
|
<STRONG>wsyncup</STRONG> is called automatically whenever there is a change in the
|
|
window.
|
|
|
|
|
|
</PRE><H3><a name="h3-wsyncdown">wsyncdown</a></H3><PRE>
|
|
The <STRONG>wsyncdown</STRONG> routine touches each location in <EM>win</EM> that has been
|
|
touched in any of its ancestor windows. This routine is called by
|
|
<STRONG>wrefresh</STRONG>, so it should almost never be necessary to call it manually.
|
|
|
|
|
|
</PRE><H3><a name="h3-wcursyncup">wcursyncup</a></H3><PRE>
|
|
The routine <STRONG>wcursyncup</STRONG> updates the current cursor position of all the
|
|
ancestors of the window to reflect the current cursor position of the
|
|
window.
|
|
|
|
|
|
</PRE><H2><a name="h2-RETURN-VALUE">RETURN VALUE</a></H2><PRE>
|
|
Functions that return integers return <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon failure and <STRONG>OK</STRONG> upon
|
|
success.
|
|
|
|
Functions that return pointers return a null pointer on failure.
|
|
|
|
<EM>ncurses</EM> defines several error conditions.
|
|
|
|
<STRONG>o</STRONG> <STRONG>delwin</STRONG> returns <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> if <EM>win</EM> is a null pointer, or if it is the parent
|
|
of another window.
|
|
|
|
<EM>ncurses</EM> maintains a list of windows, and checks that the pointer
|
|
passed to <STRONG>delwin</STRONG> is one that it created, returning <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> if it was
|
|
not.
|
|
|
|
<STRONG>o</STRONG> <STRONG>derwin</STRONG> returns <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> if <EM>orig</EM> is a null pointer, or if any of the
|
|
ordinate or dimension arguments is negative, or if the resulting
|
|
window does not fit inside the parent window.
|
|
|
|
<STRONG>o</STRONG> <STRONG>dupwin</STRONG> returns <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> if <EM>win</EM> is a null pointer.
|
|
|
|
<STRONG>o</STRONG> <STRONG>mvderwin</STRONG> returns <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> if <EM>win</EM> is a null pointer, or if any part of
|
|
the window would be placed off-screen.
|
|
|
|
<STRONG>o</STRONG> <STRONG>mvwin</STRONG> returns <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> if <EM>win</EM> is a null pointer, if <EM>win</EM> is a pad, or if
|
|
any part of the window would be placed off-screen.
|
|
|
|
<STRONG>o</STRONG> <STRONG>newwin</STRONG> returns <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> if any of its arguments is negative.
|
|
|
|
<STRONG>o</STRONG> <STRONG>subwin</STRONG> returns <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> if <EM>orig</EM> is a null pointer, or if any of the
|
|
ordinate or dimension arguments is negative, or if the resulting
|
|
window does not fit inside the parent window.
|
|
|
|
<STRONG>o</STRONG> <STRONG>syncok</STRONG> returns <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> if <EM>win</EM> is a null pointer.
|
|
|
|
Functions that return a window pointer fail if memory allocation for
|
|
their data structures fails.
|
|
|
|
All of these functions fail if the screen has not been initialized; see
|
|
<STRONG><A HREF="curs_initscr.3x.html">initscr(3x)</A></STRONG> or <STRONG><A HREF="curs_initscr.3x.html">newterm(3x)</A></STRONG>.

|
|
<STRONG>syncok</STRONG> may be implemented as a macro.
|
|
|
|
Calling <STRONG>syncup</STRONG> on a window and making many small changes to it could
|
|
degrade performance.

X/Open Curses Issue 4 describes these functions. It specifies no error
|
|
conditions for <EM>delwin</EM>, <EM>derwin</EM>, <EM>dupwin</EM>, <EM>newwin</EM>, <EM>mvderwin</EM>, or <EM>syncok</EM>.
|
|
|
|
For functions returning integers (except <EM>delwin</EM>), SVr4 describes a
|
|
successful return value only as "an integer value other than <EM>ERR</EM>".
|
|
|
|
Regarding <EM>delwin</EM>, X/Open Curses states that
|
|
|
|
[t]he application must delete subwindows before deleting the
|
|
main window.
|
|
|
|
If <EM>delwin</EM> is asked to delete a parent window, it can succeed only if
|
|
the <EM>curses</EM> library keeps a list of its subwindows. SVr4 <EM>curses</EM> kept a
|
|
count of the number of subwindows rather than a list. It simply
|
|
returned <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> when asked to delete a subwindow. Solaris X/Open <EM>curses</EM>
|
|
(<EM>xcurses</EM>) does not make even that check, and will delete a parent
|
|
window that still has subwindows. <EM>PDCurses</EM> also behaves this way.
|
|
|
|
<EM>ncurses</EM> 4.0 (1996) and later maintains a list of windows for each
|
|
screen to ensure that a window has no subwindows before allowing its
|
|
deletion. NetBSD <EM>curses</EM> has followed suit since 2003.
|
|
|
|
SVr4 <EM>curses</EM> documentation is unclear about what <EM>wsyncup</EM> and <EM>wsyncdown</EM>
|
|
actually do. It seems to imply that they are supposed to touch only
|
|
those lines that are affected by changes to a window's ancestors. The
|
|
description and behavior of these functions in <EM>ncurses</EM> is patterned on
|
|
the X/Open Curses standard; this approach may result in slower updates.
