[no]raw

Raw mode only works with the Curses input routines [w]getch and [w]getstr. Raw mode is not supported with the DEC C RTL emulation of UNIX I/O, Terminal I/O, or Standard I/O.

Format

#include  <curses.h>

raw()

noraw()

/* Example of standard and raw input in Curses package. */

#include <curses.h>

 /* Define a user window.  */

 /* Reset the video, refresh(redraw) both windows. */

 /* Do some input and output it. */

 /* Get another character then delete the window. */
