#include <curses.h> int endwin(void)
The endwin subroutine restores the terminal after Curses activity by at least restoring the saved shell terminal mode, flushing any output to the terminal and moving the cursor to the first column of the last line of the screen. Refreshing a window resumes program mode. The application must call the endwin subroutine for each terminal being used before exiting. If the newterm subroutine is called more than once for the same terminal, the first screen created must be the last one for which the endwin subroutine is called.
Upon successful completion, the endwin subroutine returns OK. Otherwise, it returns ERR.
To terminate curses permanently or temporarily, enter:
endwin();
The endwin subroutine is part of Base Operating System (BOS) Runtime.
The doupdate (doupdate, refresh, wnoutrefresh, or wrefresh Subroutines) subroutine, initscr (initscr and newterm Subroutine) subroutine, and isendwin subroutine.
