cbreak and nocbreak

SYNOPSIS

   #include <ocurses.h>
   int cbreak()
   int nocbreak()

• cbreak turns on ``break for each character'' processing. A program gets each character as soon as it is typed, but the erase, line kill, and CTRL-D characters are not interpreted.

• nocbreak returns to normal ``line at a time'' processing. This is typically the initial setting.

• Neither returns any useful value.

• ETI programs may not run properly if cbreak is turned on and off within the same program or if the combination nocbreak and echo is used.

• See ``Input option settings for ETI programs'' and accompanying caution.

See ``The editor program'' and ``The show program''.
