(ENHANCED CURSES)

Limits to Motion

mjump Limit on use of mcub1, mcuf1, mcuu1, mcud1

maddr Limit on use of mhpa, mvpa

xhpa If set, hpa and mhpa can’t move left

xvpa If set, vpa and mvpa can’t move up

If a printer needs to be in a "micro mode" for the motion capabilities described above to work, there are

string capabilities deﬁned to contain the control sequence to enter and exit this mode. A boolean is avail-

able for those printers where using a carriage return causes an automatic return to normal mode.

Entering/Exiting Micro Mode

smicm Enter micro mode

rmicm Exit micro mode

crxm Using cr exits micro mode

The movement made when a character is printed in the rightmost position varies among printers. Some

make no movement, some move to the beginning of the next line, others move to the beginning of the same

line. terminfo has boolean capabilitiesfor describing all three cases.

What Happens After Character Printed in Rightmost Position

sam Automatic move to beginning of same line

Some printers can be put in a mode where the normal direction of motion is reversed. This mode can be

especially useful when there are no capabilities for leftward or upward motion, because those capabilities

can be built from the motion reversal capability and the rightward or downward motion capabilities. It is

best to leave it up to an applicationto build the leftward or upward capabilities, though, and not enter them

in the terminfo database. This allows several reverse motions to be strung together without intervening

wasted steps that leave and reenter reverse mode.

Entering/Exiting Reverse Modes

slm Reverse sense of horizontal motions

rlm Restore sense of horizontal motions

sum Reverse sense of vertical motions

rum Restore sense of vertical motions

While sense of horizontal motion is reversed:

mcub1 Move 1 step right

mcuf1 Move 1 step left

mcub Move N steps right

mcuf Move N steps left

cub1 Move 1 column right

cuf1 Move 1 column left

cub Move N columns right

cuf Move N columns left

While sense of vertical motion is reversed:

mcuu1 Move 1 step down

mcud1 Move 1 step up

mcuu Move N steps down

mcud Move N steps up

cuu1 Move 1 line down

cud1 Move 1 line up

cuu Move N lines down

cud Move N lines up

The reverse motion modes should not affect the mvpa and mhpa absolute motion capabilities. The reverse

vertical motion mode should, however, also reverse the action of the line "wrapping" that occurs when a

character is printed in the right-most position. Thus printers that have the standard terminfo capability

am deﬁned should experience motion to the beginning of the previous line when a character is printed in the

rightmost position in reverse vertical motion mode.

The action when any other motion capabilities are used in reverse motion modes is not deﬁned; thus, pro-

grams must exit reverse motion modes before using other motion capabilities.

Two miscellaneous capabilities complete the list of motion capabilities. One of these is needed for printers

that move the current position to the beginning of a line when certain control characters, such as linefeed
