NAME
filter — disable use of certain terminal capabilities
SYNOPSIS
#include <curses.h>
void filter(void);
DESCRIPTION
The filter() function changes the algorithm for initialising terminal capabilities that assume that the
terminal has more than one line. A subsequent call to initscr() or newterm() performs the follow-
ing additional actions:
• Disable use of clear, cud, cud1, cup, cuu1 and vpa.
• Set the value of the home string to the value of the cr string
• Set lines equal to 1.
Any call to filter() must precede the call to initscr() or newterm().
RETURN VALUE
The filter() function does not return a value.
ERRORS
No errors are defined.
