Sets the clear flag for the window.
Format
#include <curses.h>
clearok (WINDOW *win, bool boolf);
Arguments
- win
- The entire size of the terminal screen. You can use the windows
stdscr and curscr with clearok.
- boolf
- A Boolean value of TRUE or FALSE. If the argument is TRUE, this
forces a clearscreen to be printed on the next call to refresh, or
stops the screen from being cleared if boolf is FALSE.
The type bool is defined in the <curses.h> header file as follows:
#define bool int
Description
Unlike the clear function, the clearok function does not alter
the contents of the window. If the win argument is curscr,
the next call to refresh causes a clearscreen, even if the window
passed to refresh is not a window the size of the entire terminal
screen.
