# NAME
|
|
|
|
notcurses_directmode - minimal notcurses instances for styling text
|
|
|
|
# SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
**#include <notcurses.h>**
|
|
|
|
**struct ncdirect* notcurses_directmode(const char *termtype, FILE* fp);**
|
|
|
|
**int ncdirect_bg_rgb8(struct ncdirect* nc, unsigned r, unsigned g, unsigned b);**
|
|
|
|
**int ncdirect_fg_rgb8(struct ncdirect* nc, unsigned r, unsigned g, unsigned b);**
|
|
|
|
**int ncdirect_fg(struct ncdirect* nc, unsigned rgb);**
|
|
|
|
**int ncdirect_bg(struct ncdirect* nc, unsigned rgb);**
|
|
|
|
**int ncdirect_stop(struct ncdirect* nc);**
|
|
|
|
# DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
**notcurses_directmode** prepares the **FILE** provided as **fp** (which must
|
|
be attached to a terminal) for colorizing and styling. On success, a pointer to
|
|
a valid **struct ncdirect** is returned. **NULL** is returned on failure.
|
|
Before the process exits, **ncdirect_stop(3)** should be called to reset the
|
|
terminal and free up resources.
|
|
|
|
An appropriate **terminfo(5)** entry must exist for the terminal. This entry is
|
|
usually selected using the value of the **TERM** environment variable (see
|
|
**getenv(3)**), but a non-**NULL** value for **termtype** will override this. An
|
|
invalid terminfo specification can lead to reduced performance, reduced
|
|
display capabilities, and/or display errors. notcurses natively targets
|
|
24bpp/8bpc RGB color, and it is thus desirable to use a terminal with the
|
|
**rgb** capability (e.g. xterm's **xterm-direct**).
|
|
|
|
# RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
**notcurses_directmode** returns **NULL** on failure. Otherwise, the return
|
|
value points to a valid **struct ncdirect**, which can be used until it is
|
|
provided to **ncdirect_stop**.
