#include <curses.h>
int curs_set(int visibility);
The curs_set subroutine sets the appearance of the cursor based on the value of visibility:
Value of visibility Appearance of Cursor
| 0 | invisible |
| 1 | terminal-specific normal mode |
| 2 | terminal-specific high visibility mode |
The terminal does not necessarily support all the above values.
| Visibility | Sets the cursor state. You can set the cursor state to one of the following: |
If the terminal supports the cursor mode specified by visibility, then the cur_set subroutine returns the previous cursor state. Otherwise, the subroutine returns ERR.
To set the cursor state to invisible, use:
curs_set(0);
This subroutine is part of Base Operating System (BOS) Runtime.
