INFO termcap - the termcap library SYNOPSIS #includeint tinit(); int tclear(); int tgoto(int x, int y); int tputs(string str); int tflush(); int tclreol(); int tioctl(int cmd, mixed val); DESCRIPTION The termcap library consists of a number of support functions to be used if there is a need for more direct screen control. Please note that many MUD clients strip away control characters which may render this utility rather useless... Any object wishing to use these functions must include the header file, and call "tinit()" (once, at reset time) to initialize the system. tclear() clears the screen tgoto() moves the cursor to the specified position. The upper left corner is (1,1). tputs() sends the string to the terminal directly, unless the F_BUFFERED flag has been set using the tioctl(T_SETFL) call. tflush() flushes any buffered writes. This can be used to make sure that a series of writes (via tputs()) will get output in one chunk. tclreol() erases to the end of the current line. tioctl() is used to set/unset flags that control the behaviour of the termcap library. Use "T_SETFL" to set the flags (arg is an "int") and "T_GETFL" to read the current flag setting. Currently only one flags is specified, "F_BUFFERED", which is used to control the behaviour of "tputs()".

BUGS I'm sure there are many.
