NAME

       putp, tputs - apply padding information and output string

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag... ] file... -I /usr/xpg4/include -L /usr/xpg4/lib 
       -R /usr/xpg4/lib -lcurses [ library... ]

       c89 [ flag... ] file... -lcurses [ library... ]

       #include <curses.h>

       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).
