tgoto() -- termcap Function (libterm) Read/interpret termcap cursor-addressing string #include <curses.h> #include <term.h> char *tgoto(cm, destcol, destline) char *cm; int scrcol, scrline; tgoto() is one of a set of functions that read a termcap terminal description. It decodes a cursor-addressing string from the cm termcap feature, and writes it onto the screen, at column scrcol and line destline. tgoto() uses the external variables UP (from the up feature) and BC (if bc is given rather than bs) if it is necessary to avoid placing \n, <ctrl- D>, or <ctrl-@> into the returned string. Programs calling tgoto() should turn off the XTABS bits, as tgoto() may write a tab. If a `%' sequence is given that is not understood, tgoto() returns ``OOPS''.
