#include <curses.h>
int cbreak(void);
int nocbreak(void);
int noraw(void);
int raw(void);
DESCRIPTION
The cbreak() function sets the input mode for the current terminal to cbreak mode and overrides a call
to
raw().
The nocbreak() function sets the input mode for the current terminal to Cooked Mode without changing
the state of ISIG and IXON.
The noraw() function sets the input mode for the current terminal to Cooked Mode and sets the ISIG
and IXON flags.
The raw() function sets the input mode for the current terminal to Raw Mode.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, these functions return OK. Otherwise, they return ERR.
ERRORS
No errors are defined.
APPLICATION USAGE
If the application is not certain what the input mode of the process was at the time it called
initscr(),
it should use these functions to specify the desired input mode.
