DESCRIPTION         top

       This implementation can be configured to provide a set of
       functions which improve the ability to manage multiple screens.
       This feature can be added to any of the configurations supported
       by ncurses; it adds new entrypoints without changing the meaning
       of any of the existing ones.

   IMPROVED FUNCTIONS
       Most of the functions are new versions of existing functions.  A
       parameter is added at the front of the parameter list.  It is a
       SCREEN pointer.

       The existing functions all use the current screen, which is a
       static variable.  The extended functions use the specified
       screen, thereby reducing the number of variables which must be
       modified to update multiple screens.

   NEW FUNCTIONS
       Here are the new functions:

       ceiling_panel
            this returns a pointer to the topmost panel in the given
            screen.

       ground_panel
            this returns a pointer to the lowest panel in the given
            screen.

       new_prescr
            when creating a new screen, the library uses static
            variables which have been preset, e.g., by use_env(3X),
            filter(3X), etc.  With the screen-pointer extension, there
            are situations where it must create a current screen before
            the unextended library does.  The new_prescr function is
            used internally to handle these cases.  It is also provided
            as an entrypoint to allow applications to customize the
            library initialization.

NOTES         top

       This extension introduces some new names:

       NCURSES_SP_FUNCS
            This is set to the library patch-level number.  In the
            unextended library, this is zero (0), to make it useful for
            checking if the extension is provided.

       NCURSES_SP_NAME
            The new functions are named using the macro NCURSES_SP_NAME,
            which hides the actual implementation.  Currently this adds
            a “_sp” suffix to the name of the unextended function.  This
            manual page indexes the extensions showing the full name.
            However the proper usage of these functions uses the macro,
            to provide for the possibility of changing the naming
            convention for specific library configurations.

       NCURSES_SP_OUTC
            This is a new function-pointer type to use in the screen-
            pointer functions where an NCURSES_OUTC is used in the
            unextended library.

       NCURSES_OUTC
            This is a function-pointer type used for the cases where a
            function passes characters to the output stream, e.g.,
            vidputs(3X).

PORTABILITY         top

       These routines are specific to ncurses.  They were not supported
       on Version 7, BSD or System V implementations.  It is recommended
       that any code depending on ncurses extensions be conditioned
       using NCURSES_SP_FUNCS.
