(CURSES)
NAME
endwin — suspend Curses session
SYNOPSIS
#include <curses.h>
int endwin(void);
DESCRIPTION
The endwin() function restores the terminal after Curses activity by at least restoring the saved shell
terminal mode, flushing any output to the terminal and moving the cursor to the first column of the last
line of the screen. Refreshing a window resumes program mode. The application must call endwin() for
each terminal being used before exiting. If newterm() is called more than once for the same terminal,
the first screen created must be the last one for which endwin() is called.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, endwin() returns OK. Otherwise, it returns ERR.
ERRORS
No errors are defined.
APPLICATION USAGE
The endwin() function does not free storage associated with a screen, so delscreen() should be
called after
endwin() if a particular screen is no longer needed.
To leave Curses mode temporarily, portable applications should call endwin(). Subsequently, to return
to Curses mode, they should call doupdate(), refresh() or wrefresh() .
SEE ALSO
delscreen(3X), doupdate(3X), initscr(3X), isendwin(3X), <curses.h>.
