=head1 NAME

Curses - terminal screen handling and optimization

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Curses;

    initscr;
    ...
    endwin;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

C<Curses> is the interface between Perl and your system's curses(3)
library.  For descriptions on the usage of a given function, variable,
or constant, consult your system's documentation, as such information
invariably varies (:-) between different curses(3) libraries and
operating systems.  This document describes the interface itself, and
assumes that you already know how your system's curses(3) library
works.

=head2 Unified Functions

Many curses(3) functions have variants starting with the prefixes
I<w->, I<mv->, and/or I<wmv->.  These variants differ only in the
explicit addition of a window, or by the addition of two coordinates
that are used to move the cursor first.  For example, C<addch()> has
three other variants: C<waddch()>, C<mvaddch()>, and C<mvwaddch()>.
The variants aren't very interesting; in fact, we could roll all of
the variants into original function by allowing a variable number
of arguments and analyzing the argument list for which variant the
user wanted to call.

Unfortunately, curses(3) predates varargs(3), so in C we were stuck
with all the variants.  However, C<Curses> is a Perl interface, so we
are free to "unify" these variants into one function.  The section
L<"Available Functions"> below lists all curses(3) functions C<Curses>
makes available as Perl equivalents, along with a column listing if it
is I<unified>.  If so, it takes a varying number of arguments as
follows:

=over 4

C<function( [win], [y, x], args );>

I<win> is an optional window argument, defaulting to C<stdscr> if not
specified.

I<y, x> is an optional coordinate pair used to move the cursor,
defaulting to no move if not specified.

I<args> are the required arguments of the function.  These are the
arguments you would specify if you were just calling the base function
and not any of the variants.

=back

This makes the variants obsolete, since their functionality has been
merged into a single function, so C<Curses> does not define them by
default.  You can still get them if you want, by setting the
variable C<$Curses::OldCurses> to a non-zero value before using the
C<Curses> package.  See L<"Perl 4.X C<cursperl> Compatibility">
for an example of this.

=head2 Wide-Character-Aware Functions

The following are the preferred functions for working with strings, though
they don't follow the normal unified function naming convention (based on the
names in the Curses library) described above.  Despite the naming, each
corresponds to a Curses library function.  For example, a C<getchar>
call performs a Curses library function in the C<getch> family.

In addition to these functions, The C<Curses> module contains corresponding
functions with the conventional naming (e.g. C<getch>); the duplication is for
historical reasons.  The preferred functions were new in Curses 1.29 (April
2014).  They use the wide character functions in the Curses library if
available (falling back to using the traditional non-wide-character versions).
They also have a more Perl-like interface, taking care of some gory details
under the hood about which a Perl programmer shouldn't have to worry.

The reason for two sets of string-handling functions is historical.  The
original Curses Perl module predates Curses libraries that understand multiple
byte character encodings.  Moreover, the module was designed to have a Perl
interface that closely resembles the C interface syntactically and directly
passes the internal byte representation of Perl strings to C code.  This was
probably fine before Perl got Unicode function, but today, Perl stores strings
internally in either Latin-1 or Unicode UTF-8 and the original module was not
sensitive to which encoding was used.

While most of the problems could be worked around in Perl code using the
traditional interface, it's hard to get right and you need a
wide-character-aware curses library (e.g. ncursesw) anyway to make it work
properly.  Because existing consumers of the Curses module may be relying on
the traditional behavior, Curses module designers couldn't simply modify the
existing functions to understand wide characters and convert from and to Perl
strings.

None of these functions exist if Perl is older than 5.6.


=head3 C<getchar>

This calls C<wget_wch()>.  It returns a character -- more precisely, a
one-character (not necessarily one-byte!) string holding the character -- for
a normal key and a two-element list C<(undef, key-number)> for a function key.
It returns C<undef> on error.

If you don't expect function keys (i.e. with C<keypad(0))>, you can simply do

=over 4

	my $ch = getchar;
	die "getchar failed" unless defined $ch;

=back

If you do expect function keys (i.e. with C<keypad(1)>), you can still assign
the result to a scalar variable as above.  Because of of the way the comma
operator works, that variable will receive either C<undef> or the string or
the number, and you can decode it yourself.

=over 4

	my $ch = getchar;
	die "getchar failed" unless defined $ch;
	if (<$ch looks like a number >= 0x100>) {
		<handle function key>
	} else {
		<handle normal key>
	}

=back

or do

=over 4

	my ($ch, $key) = getchar;
	if (defined $key) {
		<handle function key $key>
	} else if (defined $ch) {
		<handle normal key $ch>
	} else {
		die "getchar failed";
	}

=back

If C<wget_wch()> is not available (i.e. The Curses library does not understand
wide characters), this calls C<wgetch()>, but returns the values described
above nonetheless.  This can be a problem because with a multibyte character
encoding like UTF-8, you will receive two one-character strings for a
two-byte-character (e.g. "Ã" and "¤" for "ä").  If you append
these characters to a Perl string, that string may internally contain a valid
UTF-8 encoding of a character, but Perl will not interpret it that way. Perl
may even try to convert what it believes to be two characters to UTF-8, giving
you four bytes.


=head3 C<getstring>

This calls C<wgetn_wstr> and returns a string or C<undef>.  It cannot return a
function key value; the Curses library will itself interpret KEY_LEFT and
KEY_BACKSPACE.

If C<wgett_wstr()> is unavailable, this calls C<wgetstr()>.

In both cases, the function allocates a buffer of fixed size to hold the
result of the Curses library call.

=over 4

	my $s = getstring();
	die "getstring failed" unless defined $s;

=back


=head3 C<addstring>/C<insstring>

This adds/inserts the Perl string passed as an argument to the Curses window
using C<waddnwstr()>/C<wins_nwstr()> or, if unavailable,
C<waddnstr()>/C<winsnstr()>.  It returns a true value on success, false on
failure.

=over 4

	addstring("Hällö, Wörld") || die "addstring failed";

=back

=head3 C<instring>

This returns a Perl string (or C<undef> on failure) holding the characters
from the current cursor position up to the end of the line.  It uses
C<winnwstr()> if available, and otherwise C<innstr()>.

=over 4

	my $s = instring();
	die "instring failed" unless defined $s;

=back

=head3 C<ungetchar>

This pushes one character (passed as a one-character Perl string) back to the
input queue. It uses C<unget_wch()> or C<ungetch()>.  It returns a true value
on success, false on failure.  It cannot push back a function key; the Curses
library provides no way to push back function keys, only characters.

=over 4

	ungetchar("X") || die "ungetchar failed";

=back

The C<Curses> module provides no interface to the complex-character routines
(C<wadd_wch()>, C<wadd_wchnstr()>, C<wecho_wchar()>, C<win_wch()>,
C<win_wchnstr()>, C<wins_wch()>) because there is no sensible way of
converting from Perl to a C C<cchar_t> or back.

=head2 Objects

Objects work.  Example:

    $win = new Curses;
    $win->addstr(10, 10, 'foo');
    $win->refresh;
    ...

Any function that has been marked as I<unified> (see
L<"Available Functions"> below and L<"Unified Functions"> above)
can be called as a method for a Curses object.

Do not use C<initscr()> if using objects, as the first call to get
a C<new Curses> will do it for you.

=head2 Security Concerns

It has always been the case with the curses functions, but please note
that the following functions:

    getstr()   (and optional wgetstr(), mvgetstr(), and mvwgetstr())
    inchstr()  (and optional winchstr(), mvinchstr(), and mvwinchstr())
    instr()    (and optional winstr(), mvinstr(), and mvwinstr())

are subject to buffer overflow attack.  This is because you pass in
the buffer to be filled in, which has to be of finite length, but
there is no way to stop a bad guy from typing.

In order to avoid this problem, use the alternate functions:

   getnstr()
   inchnstr()
   innstr()

which take an extra "size of buffer" argument
or the wide-character-aware getstring() and instring() versions.

=head1 COMPATIBILITY

=head2 Perl 4.X C<cursperl> Compatibility

C<Curses> was written to take advantage of features of Perl 5 and later.  The
author thought it was better to provide an improved curses programming
environment than to be 100% compatible.  However, many old C<curseperl>
applications will probably still work by starting the script with:

    BEGIN { $Curses::OldCurses = 1; }
    use Curses;

Any old application that still does not work should print an understandable
error message explaining the problem.

Some functions and variables are not available through C<Curses>, even with
the C<BEGIN> line.  They are listed under
L<"Curses items not available through Perl Curses">.

The variables C<$stdscr> and C<$curscr> are also available as
functions C<stdscr> and C<curscr>.  This is because of a Perl bug.
See the L<LIMITATIONS> section for details.

=head2 Incompatibilities with previous versions of C<Curses>

In previous versions of this software, some Perl functions took a different
set of parameters than their C counterparts.  This is not true in the current
version.  You should now use C<getstr($str)> and C<getyx($y, $x)> instead of
C<$str = getstr()> and C<($y, $x) = getyx()>.

=head1 DIAGNOSTICS

=over 4

=item * Curses function '%s' called with too %s arguments at ...

You have called a C<Curses> function with a wrong number of
arguments.

=item * argument %d to Curses function '%s' is not a Curses %s at ...

=item * argument is not a Curses %s at ...

The argument you gave to the function wasn't of a valid type for the
place you used it.

This probably means that you didn't give the right arguments to a I<unified>
function.  See the DESCRIPTION section on L<Unified Functions> for more
information.

=item * Curses function '%s' is not defined in your Curses library at ...

Your code has a call to a Perl C<Curses> function that your system's Curses
library doesn't provide.

=item * Curses variable '%s' is not defined in your Curses library at ...

Your code has a Perl C<Curses> variable that your system's Curses library
doesn't provide.

=item * Curses constant '%s' is not defined in your Curses library at ...

Your code references the specified C<Curses> constant, and your system's
Curses library doesn't provide it.

=item * Curses::Vars::FETCH called with bad index at ...

=item * Curses::Vars::STORE called with bad index at ...

You've been playing with the C<tie> interface to the C<Curses> variables.
Don't do that.  :-)

=item * Anything else

Check out the F<perldiag> man page to see if the error is in there.

=back

=head1 LIMITATIONS

If you use the variables C<$stdscr> and C<$curscr> instead of their
functional counterparts (C<stdscr> and C<curscr>), you might run into
a bug in Perl where the "magic" isn't called early enough.  This is
manifested by the C<Curses> package telling you C<$stdscr> isn't a
window.  One workaround is to put a line like C<$stdscr = $stdscr>
near the front of your program.
