Module libnotcurses_sys::ffi[][src]

Expand description

Rust FFI bindings, automatically generated with bindgen.

Almost all of the notcurses API functions are reexported to the public API, while structs, enums and constants are type aliased or wrapped up.

Structs

_G_fpos64_t

The tag name of this struct is _G_fpos64_t to preserve historic C++ mangled names for functions taking fpos_t and/or fpos64_t arguments. That name should not be used in new code.

_G_fpos_t

The tag name of this struct is _G_fpos_t to preserve historic C++ mangled names for functions taking fpos_t arguments. That name should not be used in new code.

_IO_FILE

The tag name of this struct is _IO_FILE to preserve historic C++ mangled names for functions taking FILE* arguments. That name should not be used in new code.

_IO_codecvt
_IO_marker
_IO_wide_data
__IncompleteArrayField
__fsid_t
__mbstate_t

Conversion state information.

__sigset_t
__va_list_tag
cmsghdr

Structure used for storage of ancillary data object information.

div_t

Returned by `div’.

in6_addr

IPv6 address

in_addr
iovec

Structure for scatter/gather I/O.

ldiv_t
linger

Structure used to manipulate the SO_LINGER option.

lldiv_t

Returned by `lldiv’.

nccapabilities

Capabilities, derived from terminfo, environment variables, and queries

nccell

An nccell corresponds to a single character cell on some plane, which can be occupied by a single grapheme cluster (some root spacing glyph, along with possible combining characters, which might span multiple columns). At any cell, we can have a theoretically arbitrarily long UTF-8 EGC, a foreground color, a background color, and an attribute set. Valid grapheme cluster contents include:

ncdirect
ncdplot
ncfadectx
ncfdplane
ncfdplane_options

read from an fd until EOF (or beyond, if follow is set), invoking the user’s callback each time. runs in its own context. on EOF or error, the finalizer callback will be invoked, and the user ought destroy the ncfdplane. the data is not guaranteed to be nul-terminated, and may contain arbitrary zeroes.

ncinput

An input event. Cell coordinates are currently defined only for mouse events.

ncmenu
ncmenu_item

Menus. Horizontal menu bars are supported, on the top and/or bottom rows. If the menu bar is longer than the screen, it will be only partially visible. Menus may be either visible or invisible by default. In the event of a plane resize, menus will be automatically moved/resized. Elements can be dynamically enabled or disabled at all levels (menu, section, and item),

ncmenu_options
ncmenu_section
ncmselector_item
ncmultiselector
ncmultiselector_options

multiselection widget – a selector supporting multiple selections.

ncpalette

Palette API. Some terminals only support 256 colors, but allow the full palette to be specified with arbitrary RGB colors. In all cases, it’s more performant to use indexed colors, since it’s much less data to write to the terminal. If you can limit yourself to 256 colors, that’s probably best.

ncplane
ncplane_options
ncplot_options
ncprogbar
ncprogbar_options
ncreader
ncreader_options
ncreel
ncreel_options
ncselector
ncselector_item

selection widget – an ncplane with a title header and a body section. the body section supports infinite scrolling up and down.

ncselector_options
ncstats

whenever a new field is added here, ensure we add the proper rule to notcurses_stats_reset(), so that values are preserved in the stash stats.

ncsubproc
ncsubproc_options
nctab
nctabbed
nctabbed_options
nctablet
nctree
nctree_item

each item has a curry, and zero or more subitems.

nctree_options
ncuplot
ncvgeom

FIXME this ought be used in the rendered mode API as well; it’s currently only used by direct mode. describes all geometries of an ncvisual–both those which are inherent, and those in a given rendering regime. pixy and pixx are the true internal pixel geometry, taken directly from the load (and updated by ncvisual_resize()). cdimy/cdimx are the cell pixel geometry at the time of this call (it can change with a font change, in which case all values other than pixy/pixx are invalidated). rpixy/rpixx are the pixel geometry as handed to the blitter, following any scaling. scaley/scalex are the number of input pixels drawn to full cell; when using NCBLIT_PIXEL, they are equivalent to cdimy/cdimx. rcelly/rcellx are the cell geometry as written by the blitter, following any padding (there is padding whenever rpix{y, x} is not evenly divided by scale{y, x}, and also sometimes for Sixel). maxpixely/maxpixelx are defined only when NCBLIT_PIXEL is used, and specify the largest bitmap that the terminal is willing to accept.

ncvisual
ncvisual_options
notcurses
notcurses_options

Configuration for notcurses_init().

sigaction

Structure describing the action to be taken when a signal arrives.

sockaddr

Structure describing a generic socket address.

sockaddr_in

Structure describing an Internet socket address.

sockaddr_in6

Ditto, for IPv6.

sockaddr_storage
timespec

POSIX.1b structure for a time value. This is like a `struct timeval’ but has nanoseconds instead of microseconds.

tm

ISO C `broken-down time’ structure.

Functions

ncblit_bgrx

Same as ncblit_rgba(), but for BGRx.

ncblit_rgb_loose

Supply an alpha value [0..255] to be applied throughout. linesize must be a multiple of 4 for this RGBx data.

ncblit_rgb_packed

Supply an alpha value [0..255] to be applied throughout.

ncblit_rgba

Blit a flat array ‘data’ of RGBA 32-bit values to the ncplane ‘vopts->n’, which mustn’t be NULL. the blit begins at ‘vopts->y’ and ‘vopts->x’ relative to the specified plane. Each source row ought occupy ‘linesize’ bytes (this might be greater than ‘vopts->lenx’ * 4 due to padding or partial blits). A subregion of the input can be specified with the ‘begy’x’begx’ and ‘leny’x’lenx’ fields from ‘vopts’. Returns the number of pixels blitted, or -1 on error.

nccell_duplicate

Duplicate ‘c’ into ‘targ’; both must be/will be bound to ‘n’. Returns -1 on failure, and 0 on success.

nccell_extended_gcluster

return a pointer to the NUL-terminated EGC referenced by ‘c’. this pointer can be invalidated by any further operation on the plane ‘n’, so…watch out!

nccell_load

Breaks the UTF-8 string in ‘gcluster’ down, setting up the nccell ‘c’. Returns the number of bytes copied out of ‘gcluster’, or -1 on failure. The styling of the cell is left untouched, but any resources are released.

nccell_release

Release resources held by the nccell ‘c’.

nccell_width
nccells_double_box
nccells_rounded_box
ncdirect_box

Draw a box with its upper-left corner at the current cursor position, having dimensions |ylen|x|xlen|. See ncplane_box() for more information. The minimum box size is 2x2, and it cannot be drawn off-screen. |wchars| is an array of 6 wide characters: UL, UR, LL, LR, HL, VL.

ncdirect_canget_cursor

Is there support for acquiring the cursor’s current position? Requires the u7 terminfo capability, and that we are connected to an actual terminal.

ncdirect_canopen_images

Can we load images? This requires being built against FFmpeg/OIIO.

ncdirect_canutf8

Is our encoding UTF-8? Requires LANG being set to a UTF8 locale.

ncdirect_capabilities
ncdirect_check_pixel_support

Can we blit pixel-accurate bitmaps?

ncdirect_clear

Clear the screen.

ncdirect_core_init

The same as ncdirect_init(), but without any multimedia functionality, allowing for a svelter binary. Link with notcurses-core if this is used.

ncdirect_cursor_disable
ncdirect_cursor_down
ncdirect_cursor_enable
ncdirect_cursor_left
ncdirect_cursor_move_yx

Move the cursor in direct mode. -1 to retain current location on that axis.

ncdirect_cursor_pop
ncdirect_cursor_push

Push or pop the cursor location to the terminal’s stack. The depth of this stack, and indeed its existence, is terminal-dependent.

ncdirect_cursor_right
ncdirect_cursor_up
ncdirect_cursor_yx

Get the cursor position, when supported. This requires writing to the terminal, and then reading from it. If the terminal doesn’t reply, or doesn’t reply in a way we understand, the results might be deleterious.

ncdirect_detected_terminal

Capabilites

ncdirect_dim_x

Get the current number of columns/rows.

ncdirect_dim_y
ncdirect_double_box

ncdirect_box() with the double box-drawing characters

ncdirect_flush

Force a flush. Returns 0 on success, -1 on failure.

ncdirect_get

Provide a NULL ‘ts’ to block at length, a ‘ts’ of 0 for non-blocking operation, and otherwise a timespec to bound blocking. Returns a single Unicode code point, or (uint32_t)-1 on error. Returns 0 on a timeout. If an event is processed, the return value is the ‘id’ field from that event. ‘ni’ may be NULL.

ncdirect_getc

Deprecated, to be removed for ABI3. Use ncdirect_get() in new code.

ncdirect_hline_interp

Draw horizontal/vertical lines using the specified channels, interpolating between them as we go. The EGC may not use more than one column. For a horizontal line, |len| cannot exceed the screen width minus the cursor’s offset. For a vertical line, it may be as long as you’d like; the screen will scroll as necessary. All lines start at the current cursor position.

ncdirect_init

Initialize a direct-mode Notcurses context on the connected terminal at ‘fp’. ‘fp’ must be a tty. You’ll usually want stdout. Direct mode supports a limited subset of Notcurses routines which directly affect ‘fp’, and neither supports nor requires notcurses_render(). This can be used to add color and styling to text in the standard output paradigm. ‘flags’ is a bitmask over NCDIRECT_OPTION_*. Returns NULL on error, including any failure initializing terminfo.

ncdirect_inputready_fd

Get a file descriptor suitable for input event poll()ing. When this descriptor becomes available, you can call ncdirect_getc_nblock(), and input ought be ready. This file descriptor is not necessarily the file descriptor associated with stdin (but it might be!).

ncdirect_off_styles
ncdirect_on_styles
ncdirect_palette_size

Returns the number of simultaneous colors claimed to be supported, or 1 if there is no color support. Note that several terminal emulators advertise more colors than they actually support, downsampling internally.

ncdirect_printf_aligned

Formatted printing (plus alignment relative to the terminal). Returns the number of columns printed on success.

ncdirect_putegc

Output a single EGC (this might be several characters) from |utf8|, according to the channels |channels|. On success, the number of columns thought to have been used is returned, and if |sbytes| is not NULL, the number of bytes consumed will be written there.

ncdirect_putstr

Output the string |utf8| according to the channels |channels|. Note that ncdirect_putstr() does not explicitly flush output buffers, so it will not necessarily be immediately visible.

ncdirect_raster_frame

Takes the result of ncdirect_render_frame() and writes it to the output, freeing it on all paths.

ncdirect_readline

Read a (heap-allocated) line of text using the Readline library Initializes Readline the first time it’s called. For input to be echoed to the terminal, it is necessary that NCDIRECT_OPTION_INHIBIT_CBREAK be provided to ncdirect_init(). Returns NULL on error.

ncdirect_render_frame

Render an image using the specified blitter and scaling, but do not write the result. The image may be arbitrarily many rows – the output will scroll – but will only occupy the column of the cursor, and those to the right. To actually write (and free) this, invoke ncdirect_raster_frame(). ‘maxx’ and ‘maxy’ (cell geometry, not pixel), if greater than 0, are used for scaling; the terminal’s geometry is otherwise used.

ncdirect_render_image

Display an image using the specified blitter and scaling. The image may be arbitrarily many rows – the output will scroll – but will only occupy the column of the cursor, and those to the right. The render/raster process can be split by using ncdirect_render_frame() and ncdirect_raster_frame().

ncdirect_rounded_box

ncdirect_box() with the rounded box-drawing characters

ncdirect_set_bg_default
ncdirect_set_bg_palindex
ncdirect_set_bg_rgb
ncdirect_set_fg_default
ncdirect_set_fg_palindex
ncdirect_set_fg_rgb

Direct mode. This API can be used to colorize and stylize output generated outside of notcurses, without ever calling notcurses_render(). These should not be intermixed with standard Notcurses rendering.

ncdirect_set_styles

ncplane_styles_*() analogues

ncdirect_stop

Release ‘nc’ and any associated resources. 0 on success, non-0 on failure.

ncdirect_stream

Load successive frames from a file, invoking ‘streamer’ on each.

ncdirect_styles
ncdirect_styles_off
ncdirect_styles_on
ncdirect_styles_set

Deprecated forms of above.

ncdirect_supported_styles

Returns a 16-bit bitmask of supported curses-style attributes (NCSTYLE_UNDERLINE, NCSTYLE_BOLD, etc.) The attribute is only indicated as supported if the terminal can support it together with color. For more information, see the “ncv” capability in terminfo(5).

ncdirect_vline_interp
ncdirectf_free

Free a ncdirectf returned from ncdirectf_from_file().

ncdirectf_from_file

Load media from disk, but do not yet render it (presumably because you want to get its geometry via ncdirectf_geom(), or to use the same file with ncdirect_render_loaded_frame() multiple times). You must destroy the result with ncdirectf_free();

ncdirectf_geom

Having loaded the frame ‘frame’, get the geometry of a potential render.

ncdirectf_render

Same as ncdirect_render_frame(), except ‘frame’ must already have been loaded. A loaded frame may be rendered in different ways before it is destroyed.

ncdplot_add_sample
ncdplot_create
ncdplot_destroy
ncdplot_plane
ncdplot_sample
ncdplot_set_sample
ncfadectx_free

Release the resources associated with ‘nctx’.

ncfadectx_iterations

Return the number of iterations through which ‘nctx’ will fade.

ncfadectx_setup

Rather than the simple ncplane_fade{in/out}(), ncfadectx_setup() can be paired with a loop over ncplane_fade{in/out}_iteration() + ncfadectx_free().

ncfdplane_create

Create an ncfdplane around the fd ‘fd’. Consider this function to take ownership of the file descriptor, which will be closed in ncfdplane_destroy().

ncfdplane_destroy
ncfdplane_plane
ncmenu_create

Create a menu with the specified options, bound to the specified plane.

ncmenu_destroy

Destroy a menu created with ncmenu_create().

ncmenu_item_set_status

Disable or enable a menu item. Returns 0 if the item was found.

ncmenu_mouse_selected

Return the item description corresponding to the mouse click ‘click’. The item must be on an actively unrolled section, and the click must be in the area of a valid item. If ‘ni’ is not NULL, and the selected item has a shortcut, ‘ni’ will be filled in with the shortcut.

ncmenu_nextitem

Move to the previous/next item within the currently unrolled section. If no section is unrolled, the first section will be unrolled.

ncmenu_nextsection

Unroll the previous/next section (relative to current unrolled). If no section is unrolled, the first section will be unrolled.

ncmenu_offer_input

Offer the input to the ncmenu. If it’s relevant, this function returns true, and the input ought not be processed further. If it’s irrelevant to the menu, false is returned. Relevant inputs include:

ncmenu_plane

Return the ncplane backing this ncmenu.

ncmenu_previtem
ncmenu_prevsection
ncmenu_rollup

Roll up any unrolled menu section, and hide the menu if using hiding.

ncmenu_selected

Return the selected item description, or NULL if no section is unrolled. If ‘ni’ is not NULL, and the selected item has a shortcut, ‘ni’ will be filled in with that shortcut–this can allow faster matching.

ncmenu_unroll

Unroll the specified menu section, making the menu visible if it was invisible, and rolling up any menu section that is already unrolled.

ncmetric

Floating-point is never used, because an IEEE758 double can only losslessly represent integers through 2^53-1.

ncmultiselector_create
ncmultiselector_destroy

Destroy the ncmultiselector.

ncmultiselector_offer_input

Offer the input to the ncmultiselector. If it’s relevant, this function returns true, and the input ought not be processed further. If it’s irrelevant to the multiselector, false is returned. Relevant inputs include:

ncmultiselector_plane

Return a reference to the ncmultiselector’s underlying ncplane.

ncmultiselector_selected

Return selected vector. An array of bools must be provided, along with its length. If that length doesn’t match the itemcount, it is an error.

ncpalette_free

Free the palette store ‘p’.

ncpalette_new

Create a new palette store. It will be initialized with notcurses’ best knowledge of the currently configured palette. The palette upon startup cannot be reliably detected, sadly.

ncpalette_use

Attempt to configure the terminal with the provided palette ‘p’. Does not transfer ownership of ‘p’; ncpalette_free() can (ought) still be called.

ncpile_bottom

Return the bottommost plane of the pile containing ‘n’.

ncpile_create

Same as ncplane_create(), but creates a new pile. The returned plane will be the top, bottom, and root of this new pile.

ncpile_rasterize

Make the physical screen match the last rendered frame from the pile of which ‘n’ is a part. This is a blocking call. Don’t call this before the pile has been rendered (doing so will likely result in a blank screen).

ncpile_render

Renders the pile of which ‘n’ is a part. Rendering this pile again will blow away the render. To actually write out the render, call ncpile_rasterize().

ncpile_render_to_buffer

Perform the rendering and rasterization portion of ncpile_render() and ncpile_rasterize(), but do not write the resulting buffer out to the terminal. Using this function, the user can control the writeout process. The returned buffer must be freed by the caller.

ncpile_render_to_file

Write the last rendered frame, in its entirety, to ‘fp’. If notcurses_render() has not yet been called, nothing will be written.

ncpile_top

Return the topmost plane of the pile containing ‘n’.

ncplane_above

Return the plane above this one, or NULL if this is at the top.

ncplane_abs_x
ncplane_abs_y
ncplane_abs_yx

Get the origin of plane ‘n’ relative to its pile. Either or both of ‘x’ and ‘y’ may be NULL.

ncplane_as_rgba

Create an RGBA flat array from the selected region of the ncplane ‘nc’. Start at the plane’s ‘begy’x’begx’ coordinate (which must lie on the plane), continuing for ‘leny’x’lenx’ cells. Either or both of ‘leny’ and ‘lenx’ can be specified as -1 to go through the boundary of the plane. Only glyphs from the specified ncblitset may be present. If ‘pxdimy’ and/or ‘pxdimx’ are non-NULL, they will be filled in with the pixel geometry.

ncplane_at_cursor

Retrieve the current contents of the cell under the cursor. The EGC is returned, or NULL on error. This EGC must be free()d by the caller. The stylemask and channels are written to ‘stylemask’ and ‘channels’, respectively.

ncplane_at_cursor_cell

Retrieve the current contents of the cell under the cursor into ‘c’. This cell is invalidated if the associated plane is destroyed. Returns the number of bytes in the EGC, or -1 on error.

ncplane_at_yx

Retrieve the current contents of the specified cell. The EGC is returned, or NULL on error. This EGC must be free()d by the caller. The stylemask and channels are written to ‘stylemask’ and ‘channels’, respectively. The return represents how the cell will be used during rendering, and thus integrates any base cell where appropriate. If called upon the secondary columns of a wide glyph, the EGC will be returned (i.e. this function does not distinguish between the primary and secondary columns of a wide glyph).

ncplane_at_yx_cell

Retrieve the current contents of the specified cell into ‘c’. This cell is invalidated if the associated plane is destroyed. Returns the number of bytes in the EGC, or -1 on error. Unlike ncplane_at_yx(), when called upon the secondary columns of a wide glyph, the return can be distinguished from the primary column (nccell_wide_right_p(c) will return true).

ncplane_base

Extract the ncplane’s base nccell into ‘c’. The reference is invalidated if ‘ncp’ is destroyed.

ncplane_below

Return the plane below this one, or NULL if this is at the bottom.

ncplane_boundlist

Get the head of the list of planes bound to ‘n’.

ncplane_box

Draw a box with its upper-left corner at the current cursor position, and its lower-right corner at ‘ystop’x’xstop’. The 6 cells provided are used to draw the upper-left, ur, ll, and lr corners, then the horizontal and vertical lines. ‘ctlword’ is defined in the least significant byte, where bits [7, 4] are a gradient mask, and [3, 0] are a border mask:

ncplane_center_abs
ncplane_channels

Get the current channels or attribute word for ncplane ‘n’.

ncplane_contents

Create a flat string from the EGCs of the selected region of the ncplane ‘n’. Start at the plane’s ‘begy’x’begx’ coordinate (which must lie on the plane), continuing for ‘leny’x’lenx’ cells. Either or both of ‘leny’ and ‘lenx’ can be specified as -1 to go through the boundary of the plane.

ncplane_create

Create a new ncplane bound to plane ‘n’, at the offset ‘y’x’x’ (relative to the origin of ‘n’) and the specified size. The number of ‘rows’ and ‘cols’ must both be positive. This plane is initially at the top of the z-buffer, as if ncplane_move_top() had been called on it. The void* ‘userptr’ can be retrieved (and reset) later. A ‘name’ can be set, used in debugging.

ncplane_cursor_move_rel

Move the cursor relative to the current cursor position (the cursor needn’t be visible). Returns -1 on error, including target position exceeding the plane’s dimensions.

ncplane_cursor_move_yx

Move the cursor to the specified position (the cursor needn’t be visible). Pass -1 as either coordinate to hold that axis constant. Returns -1 if the move would place the cursor outside the plane.

ncplane_cursor_yx

Get the current position of the cursor within n. y and/or x may be NULL.

ncplane_destroy

Destroy the specified ncplane. None of its contents will be visible after the next call to notcurses_render(). It is an error to attempt to destroy the standard plane.

ncplane_dim_yx

Return the dimensions of this ncplane. y or x may be NULL.

ncplane_dup

Duplicate an existing ncplane. The new plane will have the same geometry, will duplicate all content, and will start with the same rendering state. The new plane will be immediately above the old one on the z axis, and will be bound to the same parent. Bound planes are not duplicated; the new plane is bound to the parent of ‘n’, but has no bound planes.

ncplane_erase

Erase every cell in the ncplane (each cell is initialized to the null glyph and the default channels/styles). All cells associated with this ncplane are invalidated, and must not be used after the call, excluding the base cell. The cursor is homed. The plane’s active attributes are unaffected.

ncplane_erase_region

Erase every cell in the region starting at {ystart, xstart} and having size {ylen, xlen}. It is an error if any of ystart, xstart, ylen, or xlen is negative. A value of 0 may be provided for ylen and/or xlen, meaning to erase everything along that dimension. It is an error if ystart + ylen or xstart + xlen is not in the plane.

ncplane_fadein

Fade the ncplane in over the specified time. Load the ncplane with the target cells without rendering, then call this function. When it’s done, the ncplane will have reached the target levels, starting from zeroes.

ncplane_fadein_iteration

Fade in through ‘iter’ iterations, where ‘iter’ < ‘ncfadectx_iterations(nctx)’.

ncplane_fadeout

Fade the ncplane out over the provided time, calling ‘fader’ at each iteration. Requires a terminal which supports truecolor, or at least palette modification (if the terminal uses a palette, our ability to fade planes is limited, and affected by the complexity of the rest of the screen).

ncplane_fadeout_iteration

Fade out through ‘iter’ iterations, where ‘iter’ < ‘ncfadectx_iterations(nctx)’.

ncplane_format

Set the given style throughout the specified region, keeping content and channels unchanged. Returns the number of cells set, or -1 on failure.

ncplane_gradient

Draw a gradient with its upper-left corner at the current cursor position, stopping at ‘ystop’x’xstop’. The glyph composed of ‘egc’ and ‘stylemask’ is used for all cells. The channels specified by ‘ul’, ‘ur’, ‘ll’, and ‘lr’ are composed into foreground and background gradients. To do a vertical gradient, ‘ul’ ought equal ‘ur’ and ‘ll’ ought equal ‘lr’. To do a horizontal gradient, ‘ul’ ought equal ‘ll’ and ‘ur’ ought equal ‘ul’. To color everything the same, all four channels should be equivalent. The resulting alpha values are equal to incoming alpha values. Returns the number of cells filled on success, or -1 on failure.

ncplane_greyscale

Convert the plane’s content to greyscale.

ncplane_highgradient

Do a high-resolution gradient using upper blocks and synced backgrounds. This doubles the number of vertical gradations, but restricts you to half blocks (appearing to be full blocks). Returns the number of cells filled on success, or -1 on error.

ncplane_highgradient_sized

ncplane_gradent_sized() meets ncplane_highgradient().

ncplane_hline_interp

Draw horizontal or vertical lines using the specified cell, starting at the current cursor position. The cursor will end at the cell following the last cell output (even, perhaps counter-intuitively, when drawing vertical lines), just as if ncplane_putc() was called at that spot. Return the number of cells drawn on success. On error, return the negative number of cells drawn.

ncplane_home

Move the cursor to 0, 0. Can’t fail.

ncplane_mergedown

Merge the ncplane ‘src’ down onto the ncplane ‘dst’. This is most rigorously defined as “write to ‘dst’ the frame that would be rendered were the entire stack made up only of the specified subregion of ‘src’ and, below it, the subregion of ‘dst’ having the specified origin. Merging is independent of the position of ‘src’ viz ‘dst’ on the z-axis. It is an error to define a subregion of zero area, or that is not entirely contained within ‘src’. It is an error to define a target origin such that the projected subregion is not entirely contained within ‘dst’. Behavior is undefined if ‘src’ and ‘dst’ are equivalent. ‘dst’ is modified, but ‘src’ remains unchanged. neither ‘src’ nor ‘dst’ may have sprixels.

ncplane_mergedown_simple

Merge the entirety of ‘src’ down onto the ncplane ‘dst’. If ‘src’ does not intersect with ‘dst’, ‘dst’ will not be changed, but it is not an error.

ncplane_move_above

Splice ncplane ‘n’ out of the z-buffer, and reinsert it above ‘above’. Returns non-zero if ‘n’ is already in the desired location. ‘n’ and ‘above’ must not be the same plane.

ncplane_move_below

Splice ncplane ‘n’ out of the z-buffer, and reinsert it below ‘below’. Returns non-zero if ‘n’ is already in the desired location. ‘n’ and ‘below’ must not be the same plane.

ncplane_move_bottom
ncplane_move_top

Splice ncplane ‘n’ out of the z-buffer, and reinsert it at the top or bottom.

ncplane_move_yx

Move this plane relative to the standard plane, or the plane to which it is bound (if it is bound to a plane). It is an error to attempt to move the standard plane.

ncplane_new

This function will be removed in ABI3 in favor of ncplane_create(). It persists in ABI2 only for backwards compatibility.

ncplane_notcurses

Extract the Notcurses context to which this plane is attached.

ncplane_notcurses_const
ncplane_off_styles

Remove the specified styles from the ncplane’s existing spec.

ncplane_on_styles

Add the specified styles to the ncplane’s existing spec.

ncplane_parent

Get the plane to which the plane ‘n’ is bound, if any.

ncplane_parent_const
ncplane_pixelgeom

Retrieve pixel geometry for the display region (‘pxy’, ‘pxx’), each cell (‘celldimy’, ‘celldimx’), and the maximum displayable bitmap (‘maxbmapy’, ‘maxbmapx’). If bitmaps are not supported, ‘maxbmapy’ and ‘maxbmapx’ will be 0. Any of the geometry arguments may be NULL.

ncplane_polyfill_yx

Starting at the specified coordinate, if its glyph is different from that of ‘c’, ‘c’ is copied into it, and the original glyph is considered the fill target. We do the same to all cardinally-connected cells having this same fill target. Returns the number of cells polyfilled. An invalid initial y, x is an error. Returns the number of cells filled, or -1 on error.

ncplane_pulse

Pulse the plane in and out until the callback returns non-zero, relying on the callback ‘fader’ to initiate rendering. ‘ts’ defines the half-period (i.e. the transition from black to full brightness, or back again). Proper use involves preparing (but not rendering) an ncplane, then calling ncplane_pulse(), which will fade in from black to the specified colors.

ncplane_putc_yx

Replace the cell at the specified coordinates with the provided cell ‘c’, and advance the cursor by the width of the cell (but not past the end of the plane). On success, returns the number of columns the cursor was advanced. ‘c’ must already be associated with ‘n’. On failure, -1 is returned.

ncplane_putchar_stained

Replace the EGC underneath us, but retain the styling. The current styling of the plane will not be changed.

ncplane_putegc_stained

Replace the EGC underneath us, but retain the styling. The current styling of the plane will not be changed.

ncplane_putegc_yx

Replace the cell at the specified coordinates with the provided EGC, and advance the cursor by the width of the cluster (but not past the end of the plane). On success, returns the number of columns the cursor was advanced. On failure, -1 is returned. The number of bytes converted from gclust is written to ‘sbytes’ if non-NULL.

ncplane_putnstr_aligned
ncplane_putnstr_yx

Write a series of EGCs to the current location, using the current style. They will be interpreted as a series of columns (according to the definition of ncplane_putc()). Advances the cursor by some positive number of columns (though not beyond the end of the plane); this number is returned on success. On error, a non-positive number is returned, indicating the number of columns which were written before the error. No more than ‘s’ bytes will be written.

ncplane_putstr_aligned
ncplane_putstr_stained

Replace a string’s worth of glyphs at the current cursor location, but retain the styling. The current styling of the plane will not be changed.

ncplane_putstr_yx

Write a series of EGCs to the current location, using the current style. They will be interpreted as a series of columns (according to the definition of ncplane_putc()). Advances the cursor by some positive number of columns (though not beyond the end of the plane); this number is returned on success. On error, a non-positive number is returned, indicating the number of columns which were written before the error.

ncplane_puttext

Write the specified text to the plane, breaking lines sensibly, beginning at the specified line. Returns the number of columns written. When breaking a line, the line will be cleared to the end of the plane (the last line will not be so cleared). The number of bytes written from the input is written to ‘*bytes’ if it is not NULL. Cleared columns are included in the return value, but not included in the number of bytes written. Leaves the cursor at the end of output. A partial write will be accomplished as far as it can; determine whether the write completed by inspecting ‘*bytes’. Can output to multiple rows even in the absence of scrolling, but not more rows than are available. With scrolling enabled, arbitrary amounts of data can be emitted. All provided whitespace is preserved – ncplane_puttext() followed by an appropriate ncplane_contents() will read back the original output.

ncplane_putwegc_stained

Replace the EGC underneath us, but retain the styling. The current styling of the plane will not be changed.

ncplane_putwstr_stained
ncplane_qrcode

Draw a QR code at the current position on the plane. If there is insufficient room to draw the code here, or there is any other error, non-zero will be returned. Otherwise, the QR code “version” (size) is returned. The QR code is (version * 4 + 17) columns wide, and ⌈version * 4 + 17⌉ rows tall (the properly-scaled values are written back to ‘*ymax’ and ‘*xmax’).

ncplane_reparent

Plane ‘n’ will be unbound from its parent plane, and will be made a bound child of ‘newparent’. It is an error if ‘n’ or ‘newparent’ are NULL. If ‘newparent’ is equal to ‘n’, ‘n’ becomes the root of a new pile, unless ‘n’ is already the root of a pile, in which case this is a no-op. Returns ‘n’. The standard plane cannot be reparented. Any planes bound to ‘n’ are reparented to the previous parent of ‘n’.

ncplane_reparent_family

The same as ncplane_reparent(), except any planes bound to ‘n’ come along with it to its new destination. Their z-order is maintained. If ‘newparent’ is an ancestor of ‘n’, NULL is returned, and no changes are made.

ncplane_resize

Resize the specified ncplane. The four parameters ‘keepy’, ‘keepx’, ‘keepleny’, and ‘keeplenx’ define a subset of the ncplane to keep, unchanged. This may be a section of size 0, though none of these four parameters may be negative. ‘keepx’ and ‘keepy’ are relative to the ncplane. They must specify a coordinate within the ncplane’s totality. ‘yoff’ and ‘xoff’ are relative to ‘keepy’ and ‘keepx’, and place the upper-left corner of the resized ncplane. Finally, ‘ylen’ and ‘xlen’ are the dimensions of the ncplane after resizing. ‘ylen’ must be greater than or equal to ‘keepleny’, and ‘xlen’ must be greater than or equal to ‘keeplenx’. It is an error to attempt to resize the standard plane. If either of ‘keepleny’ or ‘keeplenx’ is non-zero, both must be non-zero.

ncplane_resize_marginalized

Suitable for use as a ‘resizecb’ with planes created with NCPLANE_OPTION_MARGINALIZED. This will resize the plane ‘n’ against its parent, attempting to enforce the supplied margins.

ncplane_resize_maximize

Suitable for use as a ‘resizecb’, this will resize the plane to the visual region’s size. It is used for the standard plane.

ncplane_resize_realign

Suitable for use as a ‘resizecb’. This will realign the plane ‘n’ against its parent, using the alignment specified at ncplane_create()-time.

ncplane_resizecb

Returns the ncplane’s current resize callback.

ncplane_rotate_ccw
ncplane_rotate_cw

Rotate the plane π/2 radians clockwise or counterclockwise. This cannot be performed on arbitrary planes, because glyphs cannot be arbitrarily rotated. The glyphs which can be rotated are limited: line-drawing characters, spaces, half blocks, and full blocks. The plane must have an even number of columns. Use the ncvisual rotation for a more flexible approach.

ncplane_scrolling_p
ncplane_scrollup

Effect |r| scroll events on the plane |n|. Returns an error if |n| is not a scrolling plane, and otherwise returns the number of lines scrolled.

ncplane_scrollup_child

Scroll |n| up until |child| is no longer hidden beneath it. Returns an error if |child| is not a child of |n|, or |n| is not scrolling, or |child| is fixed. Returns the number of scrolling events otherwise (might be 0).

ncplane_set_base

Set the ncplane’s base nccell. It will be used for purposes of rendering anywhere that the ncplane’s gcluster is 0. Note that the base cell is not affected by ncplane_erase(). ‘egc’ must be an extended grapheme cluster. Returns the number of bytes copied out of ‘gcluster’, or -1 on failure.

ncplane_set_base_cell

Set the ncplane’s base nccell to ‘c’. The base cell is used for purposes of rendering anywhere that the ncplane’s gcluster is 0. Note that the base cell is not affected by ncplane_erase(). ‘c’ must not be a secondary cell from a multicolumn EGC.

Set the ncplane’s foreground palette index, set the foreground palette index bit, set it foreground-opaque, and clear the foreground default color bit.

ncplane_set_fg_rgb

Same, but with rgb assembled into a channel (i.e. lower 24 bits).

ncplane_set_fg_rgb8

Set the current fore/background color using RGB specifications. If the terminal does not support directly-specified 3x8b cells (24-bit “TrueColor”, indicated by the “RGB” terminfo capability), the provided values will be interpreted in some lossy fashion. None of r, g, or b may exceed 255. “HP-like” terminals require setting foreground and background at the same time using “color pairs”; Notcurses will manage color pairs transparently.

ncplane_set_fg_rgb8_clipped
ncplane_set_resizecb

Replace the ncplane’s existing resizecb with ‘resizecb’ (which may be NULL). The standard plane’s resizecb may not be changed.

ncplane_set_scrolling

All planes are created with scrolling disabled. Scrolling can be dynamically controlled with ncplane_set_scrolling(). Returns true if scrolling was previously enabled, or false if it was disabled.

ncplane_set_styles

Set the specified style bits for the ncplane ‘n’, whether they’re actively supported or not.

ncplane_set_userptr

Manipulate the opaque user pointer associated with this plane. ncplane_set_userptr() returns the previous userptr after replacing it with ‘opaque’. the others simply return the userptr.

ncplane_stain

Set the given channels throughout the specified region, keeping content and attributes unchanged. Returns the number of cells set, or -1 on failure.

ncplane_styles

Return the current styling for this ncplane.

ncplane_styles_off
ncplane_styles_on
ncplane_styles_set
ncplane_translate

provided a coordinate relative to the origin of ‘src’, map it to the same absolute coordinate relative to the origin of ‘dst’. either or both of ‘y’ and ‘x’ may be NULL. if ‘dst’ is NULL, it is taken to be the standard plane.

ncplane_translate_abs

Fed absolute ‘y’/‘x’ coordinates, determine whether that coordinate is within the ncplane ‘n’. If not, return false. If so, return true. Either way, translate the absolute coordinates relative to ‘n’. If the point is not within ‘n’, these coordinates will not be within the dimensions of the plane.

ncplane_userptr
ncplane_vline_interp
ncplane_vprintf_aligned

The ncplane equivalents of printf(3) and vprintf(3).

ncplane_vprintf_stained
ncplane_vprintf_yx
ncplane_x
ncplane_y
ncplane_yx

Get the origin of plane ‘n’ relative to its bound plane, or pile (if ‘n’ is a root plane). To get absolute coordinates, use ncplane_abs_yx().

ncreader_contents

return a heap-allocated copy of the current (UTF-8) contents.

ncreader_create

ncreaders provide freeform input in a (possibly multiline) region, supporting optional readline keybindings. takes ownership of ‘n’, destroying it on any error (ncreader_destroy() otherwise destroys the ncplane).

ncreader_destroy

destroy the reader and its bound plane. if ‘contents’ is not NULL, the UTF-8 input will be heap-duplicated and written to ‘contents’.

ncreader_move_down
ncreader_move_left

Atttempt to move in the specified direction. Returns 0 if a move was successfully executed, -1 otherwise. Scrolling is taken into account.

ncreader_move_right
ncreader_move_up
ncreader_offer_input

Offer the input to the ncreader. If it’s relevant, this function returns true, and the input ought not be processed further. Almost all inputs are relevant to an ncreader, save synthesized ones.

ncreader_plane
ncreader_write_egc

Destructively write the provided EGC to the current cursor location. Move the cursor as necessary, scrolling if applicable.

ncreel_add

Add a new nctablet to the provided ncreel ‘nr’, having the callback object ‘opaque’. Neither, either, or both of ‘after’ and ‘before’ may be specified. If neither is specified, the new tablet can be added anywhere on the reel. If one or the other is specified, the tablet will be added before or after the specified tablet. If both are specified, the tablet will be added to the resulting location, assuming it is valid (after->next == before->prev); if it is not valid, or there is any other error, NULL will be returned.

ncreel_create

Take over the ncplane ‘nc’ and use it to draw a reel according to ‘popts’. The plane will be destroyed by ncreel_destroy(); this transfers ownership.

ncreel_del

Delete the tablet specified by t from the ncreel ‘nr’. Returns -1 if the tablet cannot be found.

ncreel_destroy

Destroy an ncreel allocated with ncreel_create().

ncreel_focused

ncreel_next

Change focus to the next tablet, if one exists

ncreel_offer_input

Offer input ‘ni’ to the ncreel ‘nr’. If it’s relevant, this function returns true, and the input ought not be processed further. If it’s irrelevant to the reel, false is returned. Relevant inputs include:

ncreel_plane

Returns the ncplane on which this ncreel lives.

ncreel_prev

Change focus to the previous tablet, if one exists

ncreel_redraw

Redraw the ncreel ‘nr’ in its entirety. The reel will be cleared, and tablets will be lain out, using the focused tablet as a fulcrum. Tablet drawing callbacks will be invoked for each visible tablet.

ncreel_tabletcount

Return the number of nctablets in the ncreel ‘nr’.

ncselector_additem

Dynamically add or delete items. It is usually sufficient to supply a static list of items via ncselector_options->items.

ncselector_create
ncselector_delitem
ncselector_destroy

Destroy the ncselector. If ‘item’ is not NULL, the last selected option will be strdup()ed and assigned to ‘*item’ (and must be free()d by the caller).

ncselector_nextitem
ncselector_offer_input

Offer the input to the ncselector. If it’s relevant, this function returns true, and the input ought not be processed further. If it’s irrelevant to the selector, false is returned. Relevant inputs include:

ncselector_plane

Return a reference to the ncselector’s underlying ncplane.

ncselector_previtem

Move up or down in the list. A reference to the newly-selected item is returned, or NULL if there are no items in the list.

ncselector_selected

Return reference to the selected option, or NULL if there are no items.

ncstrwidth

Returns the number of columns occupied by a multibyte (UTF-8) string, or -1 if a non-printable/illegal character is encountered. FIXME becomes a static inline in ABI3.

ncstrwidth_valid

Returns the number of columns occupied by a the valid prefix of a multibyte (UTF-8) string. If an invalid character is encountered, -1 will be returned, and the number of valid bytes and columns will be written into *|validbytes| and *|validwidth| (assuming them non-NULL). If the entire string is valid, *|validbytes| and *|validwidth| reflect the entire string.

ncsubproc_createv

see exec(2). p-types use $PATH. e-type passes environment vars.

ncsubproc_createvp
ncsubproc_createvpe
ncsubproc_destroy
ncsubproc_plane
nctab_cb

Returns the tab callback.

nctab_move

Move ‘t’ after ‘after’ (if not NULL) and before ‘before’ (if not NULL). If both ‘after’ and ‘before’ are NULL, the function returns -1, otherwise it returns 0.

nctab_move_left

Move ‘t’ to the right by one tab, looping around to become the last tab if needed.

nctab_move_right

Move ‘t’ to the right by one tab, looping around to become leftmost if needed.

nctab_name

Returns the tab name. This is not a copy and it should not be stored.

nctab_name_width

Returns the width (in columns) of the tab’s name.

nctab_next

Returns the tab to the right of ‘t’. This does not change which tab is selected.

nctab_prev

Returns the tab to the left of ‘t’. This does not change which tab is selected.

nctab_set_cb

Set the tab callback function for ‘t’. Returns the previous tab callback.

nctab_set_name

Change the name of ‘t’. Returns -1 if ‘newname’ is NULL, and 0 otherwise.

nctab_set_userptr

Set the user pointer of ‘t’. Returns the previous user pointer.

nctab_userptr

Returns the tab’s user pointer.

nctabbed_add

Add a new tab to ‘nt’ with the given tab callback, name, and user pointer. If both ‘before’ and ‘after’ are NULL, the tab is inserted after the selected tab. Otherwise, it gets put after ‘after’ (if not NULL) and before ‘before’ (if not NULL). If both ‘after’ and ‘before’ are given, they must be two neighboring tabs (the tab list is circular, so the last tab is immediately before the leftmost tab), otherwise the function returns NULL. If ‘name’ is NULL or a string containing illegal characters, the function returns NULL. On all other failures the function also returns NULL. If it returns NULL, none of the arguments are modified, and the widget state is not altered.

nctabbed_channels

Write the channels for tab headers, the selected tab header, and the separator to ‘*hdrchan’, ‘*selchan’, and ‘*sepchan’ respectively.

nctabbed_content_plane

Returns the tab content plane.

nctabbed_create

Creates a new nctabbed widget, associated with the given ncplane ‘n’, and with additional options given in ‘opts’. When ‘opts’ is NULL, it acts as if it were called with an all-zero opts. The widget takes ownership of ‘n’, and destroys it when the widget is destroyed. Returns the newly created widget. Returns NULL on failure, also destroying ‘n’.

nctabbed_del

Remove a tab ‘t’ from ‘nt’. Its neighboring tabs become neighbors to each other. If ‘t’ if the selected tab, the tab after ‘t’ becomes selected. Likewise if ‘t’ is the leftmost tab, the tab after ‘t’ becomes leftmost. If ‘t’ is the only tab, there will no more be a selected or leftmost tab, until a new tab is added. Returns -1 if ‘t’ is NULL, and 0 otherwise.

nctabbed_destroy

Destroy an nctabbed widget. All memory belonging to ‘nt’ is deallocated, including all tabs and their names. The plane associated with ‘nt’ is also destroyed. Calling this with NULL does nothing.

nctabbed_ensure_selected_header_visible

Make sure the tab header of the currently selected tab is at least partially visible. (by rotating tabs until at least one column is displayed) Does nothing if there are no tabs.

nctabbed_leftmost

Returns the leftmost tab, or NULL if there are no tabs.

nctabbed_next

Select the tab after the currently selected tab, and return the newly selected tab. Returns NULL if there are no tabs.

nctabbed_plane

Returns the plane associated to ‘nt’.

nctabbed_prev

Select the tab before the currently selected tab, and return the newly selected tab. Returns NULL if there are no tabs.

nctabbed_redraw

Redraw the widget. This calls the tab callback of the currently selected tab to draw tab contents, and draws tab headers. The tab content plane is not modified by this function, apart from resizing the plane is necessary.

nctabbed_rotate

Rotate the tabs of ‘nt’ right by ‘amt’ tabs, or ‘-amt’ tabs left if ‘amt’ is negative. Tabs are rotated only by changing the leftmost tab; the selected tab stays the same. If there are no tabs, nothing happens.

nctabbed_select

Change the selected tab to be ‘t’. Returns the previously selected tab.

nctabbed_selected

Returns the currently selected tab, or NULL if there are no tabs.

nctabbed_separator

Returns the tab separator. This is not a copy and it should not be stored. This can be NULL, if the separator was set to NULL in ncatbbed_create() or nctabbed_set_separator().

nctabbed_separator_width

Returns the tab separator width, or zero if there is no separator.

nctabbed_set_hdrchan

Set the tab headers channel for ‘nt’.

nctabbed_set_selchan

Set the selected tab header channel for ‘nt’.

nctabbed_set_separator

Change the tab separator for ‘nt’. Returns -1 if ‘separator’ is not NULL and is not a valid string, and 0 otherwise.

nctabbed_set_sepchan

Set the tab separator channel for ‘nt’.

nctabbed_tabcount

Returns the number of tabs in the widget.

nctablet_ncplane

Deprecated form of nctablet_plane().

nctablet_plane

Access the ncplane associated with nctablet ‘t’, if one exists.

nctablet_userptr

Returns a pointer to a user pointer associated with this nctablet.

nctree_create

|opts| may not be NULL, since it is necessary to define a callback function.

nctree_destroy

Destroy the nctree.

nctree_focused

Return the focused item, if any items are present. This is not a copy; be careful to use it only for the duration of a critical section.

nctree_goto

Go to the item specified by the array |spec|, terminated by UINT_MAX. If the spec is invalid, NULL is returned, and the depth of the first invalid spec is written to *|failspec|. Otherwise, the true depth is written to *|failspec|, and the curry is returned (|failspec| is necessary because the curry could itself be NULL).

nctree_next

Change focus to the next item.

nctree_offer_input

Offer input ‘ni’ to the nctree ‘n’. If it’s relevant, this function returns true, and the input ought not be processed further. If it’s irrelevant to the tree, false is returned. Relevant inputs include:

nctree_plane

Returns the ncplane on which this nctree lives.

nctree_prev

Change focus to the previous item.

nctree_redraw

Redraw the nctree ‘n’ in its entirety. The tree will be cleared, and items will be lain out, using the focused item as a fulcrum. Item-drawing callbacks will be invoked for each visible item.

ncuplot_add_sample

Add to or set the value corresponding to this x. If x is beyond the current x window, the x window is advanced to include x, and values passing beyond the window are lost. The first call will place the initial window. The plot will be redrawn, but notcurses_render() is not called.

ncuplot_create

Use the provided plane ‘n’ for plotting according to the options ‘opts’. The plot will make free use of the entirety of the plane. For domain autodiscovery, set miny == maxy == 0. ncuplot holds uint64_ts, while ncdplot holds doubles.

ncuplot_destroy
ncuplot_plane

Return a reference to the ncplot’s underlying ncplane.

ncuplot_sample
ncuplot_set_sample
ncvisual_at_yx

Get the specified pixel from the specified ncvisual.

ncvisual_blitter_geom

Get the size and ratio of ncvisual pixels to output cells along the y and x axes. The input size (in pixels) will be written to ‘y’ and ‘x’. The scaling will be written to ‘scaley’ and ‘scalex’. With these: rows = (y / scaley) + !!(y % scaley) or (y + scaley - 1) / scaley cols = (x / scalex) + !!(x % scalex) or (x + scalex - 1) / scalex Returns non-zero for an invalid ‘vopts’. The blitter that will be used is returned in ‘*blitter’.

ncvisual_decode

extract the next frame from an ncvisual. returns 1 on end of file, 0 on success, and -1 on failure.

ncvisual_decode_loop

decode the next frame ala ncvisual_decode(), but if we have reached the end, rewind to the first frame of the ncvisual. a subsequent ‘ncvisual_render()’ will render the first frame, as if the ncvisual had been closed and reopened. the return values remain the same as those of ncvisual_decode().

ncvisual_destroy

Destroy an ncvisual. Rendered elements will not be disrupted, but the visual can be neither decoded nor rendered any further.

ncvisual_from_bgra

ncvisual_from_rgba(), but ‘bgra’ is arranged as BGRA. note that this is a byte-oriented layout, despite being bunched in 32-bit pixels; the lowest memory address ought be B, and A is reached by adding 3 to that address.

ncvisual_from_file

Open a visual at ‘file’, extract a codec and parameters, decode the first image to memory.

ncvisual_from_palidx

ncvisual_from_rgba(), but ‘data’ is ‘pstride’-byte palette-indexed pixels, arranged in ‘rows’ lines of ‘rowstride’ bytes each, composed of ‘cols’ pixels. ‘palette’ is an array of at least ‘palsize’ ncchannels.

ncvisual_from_plane

Promote an ncplane ‘n’ to an ncvisual. The plane may contain only spaces, half blocks, and full blocks. The latter will be checked, and any other glyph will result in a NULL being returned. This function exists so that planes can be subjected to ncvisual transformations. If possible, it’s better to create the ncvisual from memory using ncvisual_from_rgba().

ncvisual_from_rgb_loose

ncvisual_from_rgba(), but the pixels are 4-byte RGBx. A is filled in throughout using ‘alpha’. rowstride must be a multiple of 4.

ncvisual_from_rgb_packed

ncvisual_from_rgba(), but the pixels are 3-byte RGB. A is filled in throughout using ‘alpha’.

ncvisual_from_rgba

Prepare an ncvisual, and its underlying plane, based off RGBA content in memory at ‘rgba’. ‘rgba’ is laid out as ‘rows’ lines, each of which is ‘rowstride’ bytes in length. Each line has ‘cols’ 32-bit 8bpc RGBA pixels followed by possible padding (there will be ‘rowstride’ - ‘cols’ * 4 bytes of padding). The total size of ‘rgba’ is thus (rows * rowstride) bytes, of which (rows * cols * 4) bytes are actual non-padding data.

ncvisual_inflate

Inflate each pixel in the image to ‘scale’x’scale’ pixels. It is an error if ‘scale’ is less than 1. The original color is retained. Deprecated; use ncvisual_resize_noninterpolative(), which this now wraps.

ncvisual_media_defblitter

Get the default media (not plot) blitter for this environment when using the specified scaling method. Currently, this means:

ncvisual_polyfill_yx

Polyfill at the specified location within the ncvisual ‘n’, using ‘rgba’.

ncvisual_render

Render the decoded frame to the specified ncplane. If one is not provided, one will be created, having the exact size necessary to display the visual. A subregion of the visual can be rendered using ‘begx’, ‘begy’, ‘lenx’, and ‘leny’. Negative values for ‘begy’ or ‘begx’ are an error. It is an error to specify any region beyond the boundaries of the frame. Returns the (possibly newly-created) plane to which we drew.

ncvisual_resize

Scale the visual to ‘rows’ X ‘columns’ pixels, using the best scheme available. This is a lossy transformation, unless the size is unchanged.

ncvisual_resize_noninterpolative

Scale the visual to ‘rows’ X ‘columns’ pixels, using non-interpolative (naive) scaling. No new colors will be introduced as a result.

ncvisual_rotate

Rotate the visual ‘rads’ radians. Only M_PI/2 and -M_PI/2 are supported at the moment, but this will change FIXME.

ncvisual_set_yx

Set the specified pixel in the specified ncvisual.

ncvisual_simple_streamer

Shut up and display my frames! Provide as an argument to ncvisual_stream(). If you’d like subtitles to be decoded, provide an ncplane as the curry. If the curry is NULL, subtitles will not be displayed.

ncvisual_stream

Stream the entirety of the media, according to its own timing. Blocking, obviously. streamer may be NULL; it is otherwise called for each frame, and its return value handled as outlined for streamcb. If streamer() returns non-zero, the stream is aborted, and that value is returned. By convention, return a positive number to indicate intentional abort from within streamer(). ‘timescale’ allows the frame duration time to be scaled. For a visual naturally running at 30FPS, a ‘timescale’ of 0.1 will result in 300FPS, and a ‘timescale’ of 10 will result in 3FPS. It is an error to supply ‘timescale’ less than or equal to 0.

ncvisual_subtitle
ncvisual_subtitle_plane

If a subtitle ought be displayed at this time, return a new plane (bound to ‘parent’ containing the subtitle, which might be text or graphics (depending on the input format).

notcurses_accountname

Returns a heap-allocated copy of the user name under which we are running.

notcurses_at_yx

Retrieve the contents of the specified cell as last rendered. Returns the EGC or NULL on error. This EGC must be free()d by the caller. The stylemask and channels are written to ‘stylemask’ and ‘channels’, respectively.

notcurses_bottom

Return the bottommost ncplane of the standard pile.

notcurses_canbraille

Can we reliably use Unicode Braille?

notcurses_canchangecolor
notcurses_canfade

Can we fade? Fading requires either the “rgb” or “ccc” terminfo capability.

notcurses_canhalfblock

Can we reliably use Unicode halfblocks?

notcurses_canopen_images

Can we load images? This requires being built against FFmpeg/OIIO.

notcurses_canopen_videos

Can we load videos? This requires being built against FFmpeg.

notcurses_canquadrant

Can we reliably use Unicode quadrants?

notcurses_cansextant

Can we reliably use Unicode 13 sextants?

notcurses_cantruecolor

Can we directly specify RGB values per cell, or only use palettes?

notcurses_canutf8

Is our encoding UTF-8? Requires LANG being set to a UTF8 locale.

notcurses_check_pixel_support

Can we blit pixel-accurate bitmaps?

notcurses_core_init

The same as notcurses_init(), but without any multimedia functionality, allowing for a svelter binary. Link with notcurses-core if this is used.

notcurses_cursor_disable

Disable the hardware cursor. It is an error to call this while the cursor is already disabled.

notcurses_cursor_enable

Enable or disable the terminal’s cursor, if supported, placing it at ‘y’, ‘x’. Immediate effect (no need for a call to notcurses_render()). It is an error if ‘y’, ‘x’ lies outside the standard plane. Can be called while already visible to move the cursor.

notcurses_cursor_yx

Get the current location of the terminal’s cursor, whether visible or not.

notcurses_debug

Dump selected Notcurses state to the supplied ‘debugfp’. Output is freeform, newline-delimited, and subject to change. It includes geometry of all planes, from all piles. No line has more than 80 columns’ worth of output.

notcurses_debug_caps
notcurses_detected_terminal

Returns the name (and sometimes version) of the terminal, as Notcurses has been best able to determine.

notcurses_drop_planes

Destroy all ncplanes other than the stdplane.

notcurses_enter_alternate_screen

Shift to the alternate screen, if available. If already using the alternate screen, this returns 0 immediately. If the alternate screen is not available, this returns -1 immediately. Entering the alternate screen turns off scrolling for the standard plane.

notcurses_get

Read a UTF-32-encoded Unicode codepoint from input. This might only be part of a larger EGC. Provide a NULL ‘ts’ to block at length, and otherwise a timespec to bound blocking. Returns a single Unicode code point, or (uint32_t)-1 on error. ‘sigmask’ may be NULL. Returns 0 on a timeout. If an event is processed, the return value is the ‘id’ field from that event. ‘ni’ may be NULL.

notcurses_getc

Backwards-compatibility wrapper; this will be removed for ABI3. Use notcurses_get() in new code.

notcurses_hostname

Returns a heap-allocated copy of the local host name.

notcurses_init

Initialize a Notcurses context on the connected terminal at ‘fp’. ‘fp’ must be a tty. You’ll usually want stdout. NULL can be supplied for ‘fp’, in which case /dev/tty will be opened. Returns NULL on error, including any failure initializing terminfo.

notcurses_inputready_fd

Get a file descriptor suitable for input event poll()ing. When this descriptor becomes available, you can call notcurses_getc_nblock(), and input ought be ready. This file descriptor is not necessarily the file descriptor associated with stdin (but it might be!).

notcurses_leave_alternate_screen

Exit the alternate screen. Immediately returns 0 if not currently using the alternate screen.

notcurses_lex_blitter

Lex a blitter.

notcurses_lex_margins

Lex a margin argument according to the standard Notcurses definition. There can be either a single number, which will define all margins equally, or there can be four numbers separated by commas.

notcurses_lex_scalemode

Lex a scaling mode (one of “none”, “stretch”, “scale”, “hires”, “scalehi”, or “inflate”).

notcurses_linesigs_disable

Disable signals originating from the terminal’s line discipline, i.e. SIGINT (^C), SIGQUIT (^), and SIGTSTP (^Z). They are enabled by default.

notcurses_linesigs_enable

Restore signals originating from the terminal’s line discipline, i.e. SIGINT (^C), SIGQUIT (^), and SIGTSTP (^Z), if disabled.

notcurses_mouse_disable

Disable mouse events. Any events in the input queue can still be delivered.

notcurses_mouse_enable

Enable the mouse in “button-event tracking” mode with focus detection and UTF8-style extended coordinates. On failure, -1 is returned. On success, 0 is returned, and mouse events will be published to notcurses_get().

notcurses_palette_size

Returns the number of simultaneous colors claimed to be supported, or 1 if there is no color support. Note that several terminal emulators advertise more colors than they actually support, downsampling internally.

notcurses_refresh

Refresh the physical screen to match what was last rendered (i.e., without reflecting any changes since the last call to notcurses_render()). This is primarily useful if the screen is externally corrupted, or if an NCKEY_RESIZE event has been read and you’re not yet ready to render. The current screen geometry is returned in ‘y’ and ‘x’, if they are not NULL.

notcurses_render

Renders and rasterizes the standard pile in one shot. Blocking call.

notcurses_render_to_buffer
notcurses_render_to_file
notcurses_stats

Acquire an atomic snapshot of the Notcurses object’s stats.

notcurses_stats_alloc

Allocate an ncstats object. Use this rather than allocating your own, since future versions of Notcurses might enlarge this structure.

notcurses_stats_reset

Reset all cumulative stats (immediate ones, such as fbbytes, are not reset), first copying them into |*stats| (if |stats| is not NULL).

notcurses_stdplane

Get a reference to the standard plane (one matching our current idea of the terminal size) for this terminal. The standard plane always exists, and its origin is always at the uppermost, leftmost cell of the terminal.

notcurses_stdplane_const
notcurses_stop

Destroy a Notcurses context.

notcurses_str_blitter

Get the name of a blitter.

notcurses_str_scalemode

Get the name of a scaling mode.

notcurses_supported_styles

Returns a 16-bit bitmask of supported curses-style attributes (NCSTYLE_UNDERLINE, NCSTYLE_BOLD, etc.) The attribute is only indicated as supported if the terminal can support it together with color. For more information, see the “ncv” capability in terminfo(5).

notcurses_top

Return the topmost ncplane of the standard pile.

notcurses_ucs32_to_utf8

input functions like notcurses_get() return ucs32-encoded uint32_t. convert a series of uint32_t to utf8. result must be at least 4 bytes per input uint32_t (6 bytes per uint32_t will future-proof against Unicode expansion). the number of bytes used is returned, or -1 if passed illegal ucs32, or too small of a buffer.

notcurses_version

Get a human-readable string describing the running Notcurses version.

notcurses_version_components

Cannot be inline, as we want to get the versions of the actual Notcurses library we loaded, not what we compile against.

sigaction

Get and/or set the action for signal SIG.

sigaddset

Add SIGNO to SET.

sigdelset

Remove SIGNO from SET.

sigemptyset

Clear all signals from SET.

sigfillset

Set all signals in SET.

Return 1 if SIGNO is in SET, 0 if not.

signal
sigpending

Put in SET all signals that are blocked and waiting to be delivered.

sigprocmask

Get and/or change the set of blocked signals.

clock_t

Returned by `clock’.

clockid_t

Clock ID used in clock and timer functions.

dev_t
fadecb

Called for each fade iteration on ‘ncp’. If anything but 0 is returned, the fading operation ceases immediately, and that value is propagated out. The recommended absolute display time target is passed in ‘tspec’.

fpos_t

key_t
ncalign_e

Alignment within a plane or terminal. Left/right-justified, or centered.

ncblitter_e

we never blit full blocks, but instead spaces (more efficient) with the background set to the desired foreground. these need be kept in the same order as the blitters[] definition in lib/blit.c.

ncdirectf
ncdirectv
ncfdplane_callback
ncfdplane_done_cb
ncloglevel_e

These log levels consciously map cleanly to those of libav; Notcurses itself does not use this full granularity. The log level does not affect the opening and closing banners, which can be disabled via the notcurses_option struct’s ‘suppress_banner’. Note that if stderr is connected to the same terminal on which we’re rendering, any kind of logging will disrupt the output (which is undesirable). The “default” zero value is NCLOGLEVEL_PANIC.

ncpixelimpl_e

pixel blitting implementations. informative only; don’t special-case based off any of this information!

ncscale_e

How to scale an ncvisual during rendering. NCSCALE_NONE will apply no scaling. NCSCALE_SCALE scales a visual to the plane’s size, maintaining aspect ratio. NCSCALE_STRETCH stretches and scales the image in an attempt to fill the entirety of the plane. NCSCALE_NONE_HIRES and NCSCALE_SCALE_HIRES behave like their counterparts, but admit blitters which don’t preserve aspect ratio.

ncstreamcb

Called for each frame rendered from ‘ncv’. If anything but 0 is returned, the streaming operation ceases immediately, and that value is propagated out. The recommended absolute display time target is passed in ‘tspec’.

nlink_t
off_t
pid_t
register_t
sa_family_t

POSIX.1g specifies this type name for the `sa_family’ member.

sig_atomic_t

sigset_t

A set of signals to be blocked, unblocked, or waited for.

size_t
socklen_t
ssize_t
suseconds_t
tabcb

Tab content drawing callback. Takes the tab it was associated to, the ncplane on which tab content is to be drawn, and the user pointer of the tab. It is called during nctabbed_redraw().

tabletcb

Tablet draw callback, provided a tablet (from which the ncplane and userptr may be extracted), and a bool indicating whether output ought be drawn from the top (true) or bottom (false). Returns non-negative count of output lines, which must be less than or equal to ncplane_dim_y(nctablet_plane(t)).

time_t

Returned by `time’.
