tparm() -- terminfo Function Output a parameterized string #include <curses.h> tparm(string,p1...p9) char *string, parm1 ... par9; COHERENT comes with a set of functions that let you use terminfo descriptions to manipulate a terminal. tparm() outputs a parameterized string. A parameterized string is a string into which parameters can be inserted, as in a printf() formatting string. Under terminfo, a parameterized string can hold up to nine parameters. tparm() expands the parameters, inserts them into the appropriate ``slots'' within the string, and then outputs the string. See the Lexicon entry on terminfo for more information on parameterized strings. See Also curses.h, terminfo, tputs()
