16 "Curses" is the interface between Perl and your system's curses(3)
17 library. For descriptions on the usage of a given function, variable,
18 or constant, consult your system's documentation, as such information
19 invariably varies (:-) between different curses(3) libraries and
20 operating systems. This document describes the interface itself, and
21 assumes that you already know how your system's curses(3) library
22 works.
23 Unified Functions
25 Many curses(3) functions have variants starting with the prefixes w-,
26 mv-, and/or wmv-. These variants differ only in the explicit addition
27 of a window, or by the addition of two coordinates that are used to
28 move the cursor first. For example, addch() has three other variants:
29 waddch(), mvaddch(), and mvwaddch(). The variants aren't very
30 interesting; in fact, we could roll all of the variants into original
31 function by allowing a variable number of arguments and analyzing the
32 argument list for which variant the user wanted to call.
33 Unfortunately, curses(3) predates varargs(3), so in C we were stuck
35 with all the variants. However, "Curses" is a Perl interface, so we
36 are free to "unify" these variants into one function. The section
37 "Available Functions" below lists all curses(3) functions "Curses"
38 makes available as Perl equivalents, along with a column listing if it
39 is unified. If so, it takes a varying number of arguments as follows:
40 "function( [win], [y, x], args );"
42 win is an optional window argument, defaulting to "stdscr" if not
44 specified.
45 y, x is an optional coordinate pair used to move the cursor,
47 defaulting to no move if not specified.
48 args are the required arguments of the function. These are the
50 arguments you would specify if you were just calling the base
51 function and not any of the variants.
52 This makes the variants obsolete, since their functionality has been
54 merged into a single function, so "Curses" does not define them by
55 default. You can still get them if you want, by setting the variable
56 $Curses::OldCurses to a non-zero value before using the "Curses"
57 package. See "Perl 4.X "cursperl" Compatibility" for an example of
58 this.
59 Wide-Character-Aware Functions
61 The following are the preferred functions for working with strings,
62 though they don't follow the normal unified function naming convention
63 (based on the names in the Curses library) described above. Despite
64 the naming, each corresponds to a Curses library function. For
65 example, a "getchar" call performs a Curses library function in the
66 "getch" family.
67 In addition to these functions, The "Curses" module contains
69 corresponding functions with the conventional naming (e.g. "getch");
70 the duplication is for historical reasons. The preferred functions
71 were new in Curses 1.29 (April 2014). They use the wide character
72 functions in the Curses library if available (falling back to using the
73 traditional non-wide-character versions). They also have a more Perl-
74 like interface, taking care of some gory details under the hood about
75 which a Perl programmer shouldn't have to worry.
76 The reason for two sets of string-handling functions is historical.
78 The original Curses Perl module predates Curses libraries that
79 understand multiple byte character encodings. Moreover, the module was
80 designed to have a Perl interface that closely resembles the C
81 interface syntactically and directly passes the internal byte
82 representation of Perl strings to C code. This was probably fine
83 before Perl got Unicode function, but today, Perl stores strings
84 internally in either Latin-1 or Unicode UTF-8 and the original module
85 was not sensitive to which encoding was used.
86 While most of the problems could be worked around in Perl code using
88 the traditional interface, it's hard to get right and you need a wide-
89 character-aware curses library (e.g. ncursesw) anyway to make it work
90 properly. Because existing consumers of the Curses module may be
91 relying on the traditional behavior, Curses module designers couldn't
92 simply modify the existing functions to understand wide characters and
93 convert from and to Perl strings.
94 None of these functions exist if Perl is older than 5.6.
96 "getchar"
98 This calls wget_wch(). It returns a character -- more precisely, a
100 one-character (not necessarily one-byte!) string holding the character
101 -- for a normal key and a two-element list "(undef, key-number)" for a
102 function key. It returns "undef" on error.
103 If you don't expect function keys (i.e. with "keypad(0))", you can
105 simply do
106 my $ch = getchar;
108 die "getchar failed" unless defined $ch;
109 If you do expect function keys (i.e. with keypad(1)), you can still
111 assign the result to a scalar variable as above. Because of of the way
112 the comma operator works, that variable will receive either "undef" or
113 the string or the number, and you can decode it yourself.
114 my $ch = getchar;
116 die "getchar failed" unless defined $ch;
117 if (<$ch looks like a number >= 0x100>) {
118 <handle function key>
119 } else {
120 <handle normal key>
121 }
122 or do
124 my ($ch, $key) = getchar;
126 if (defined $key) {
127 <handle function key $key>
128 } else if (defined $ch) {
129 <handle normal key $ch>
130 } else {
131 die "getchar failed";
132 }
133 If wget_wch() is not available (i.e. The Curses library does not
135 understand wide characters), this calls wgetch(), but returns the
136 values described above nonetheless. This can be a problem because with
137 a multibyte character encoding like UTF-8, you will receive two one-
138 character strings for a two-byte-character (e.g. "����" and
139 "â½" for "â½"). If you append these characters to a Perl string,
140 that string may internally contain a valid UTF-8 encoding of a
141 character, but Perl will not interpret it that way. Perl may even try
142 to convert what it believes to be two characters to UTF-8, giving you
143 four bytes.
144 "getstring"
146 This calls "wgetn_wstr" and returns a string or "undef". It cannot
148 return a function key value; the Curses library will itself interpret
149 KEY_LEFT and KEY_BACKSPACE.
150 If wgett_wstr() is unavailable, this calls wgetstr().
152 In both cases, the function allocates a buffer of fixed size to hold
154 the result of the Curses library call.
155 my $s = getstring();
157 die "getstring failed" unless defined $s;
158 "addstring"/"insstring"
160 This adds/inserts the Perl string passed as an argument to the Curses
162 window using waddnwstr()/wins_nwstr() or, if unavailable,
163 waddnstr()/winsnstr(). It returns a true value on success, false on
164 failure.
165 addstring("Hâ½llâ¡, Wâ¡rld") || die "addstring failed";
167 "instring"
169 This returns a Perl string (or "undef" on failure) holding the
171 characters from the current cursor position up to the end of the line.
172 It uses winnwstr() if available, and otherwise innstr().
173 my $s = instring();
175 die "instring failed" unless defined $s;
176 "ungetchar"
178 This pushes one character (passed as a one-character Perl string) back
180 to the input queue. It uses unget_wch() or ungetch(). It returns a
181 true value on success, false on failure. It cannot push back a
182 function key; the Curses library provides no way to push back function
183 keys, only characters.
184 ungetchar("X") or die "ungetchar failed";
186 The "Curses" module provides no interface to the complex-character
188 routines (wadd_wch(), wadd_wchnstr(), wecho_wchar(), win_wch(),
189 win_wchnstr(), wins_wch()) because there is no sensible way of
190 converting from Perl to a C "cchar_t" or back.
191 Objects
193 Objects work. Example:
194 $win = new Curses;
196 $win->addstr(10, 10, 'foo');
197 $win->refresh;
198 ...
199 Any function that has been marked as unified (see "Available Functions"
201 below and "Unified Functions" above) can be called as a method for a
202 Curses object.
203 Do not use initscr() if using objects, as the first call to get a "new
205 Curses" will do it for you.
206 Security Concerns
208 It has always been the case with the curses functions, but please note
209 that the following functions:
210 getstr() (and optional wgetstr(), mvgetstr(), and mvwgetstr())
212 inchstr() (and optional winchstr(), mvinchstr(), and mvwinchstr())
213 instr() (and optional winstr(), mvinstr(), and mvwinstr())
214 are subject to buffer overflow attack. This is because you pass in the
216 buffer to be filled in, which has to be of finite length, but there is
217 no way to stop a bad guy from typing.
218 In order to avoid this problem, use the alternate functions:
220 getnstr()
222 inchnstr()
223 innstr()
224 which take an extra "size of buffer" argument or the wide-character-
226 aware getstring() and instring() versions.
227
229 Perl 4.X "cursperl" Compatibility
230 "Curses" was written to take advantage of features of Perl 5 and later.
231 The author thought it was better to provide an improved curses
232 programming environment than to be 100% compatible. However, many old
233 "curseperl" applications will probably still work by starting the
234 script with:
235 BEGIN { $Curses::OldCurses = 1; }
237 use Curses;
238 Any old application that still does not work should print an
240 understandable error message explaining the problem.
241 Some functions and variables are not available through "Curses", even
243 with the "BEGIN" line. They are listed under "Curses items not
244 available through Perl Curses".
245 The variables $stdscr and $curscr are also available as functions
247 "stdscr" and "curscr". This is because of a Perl bug. See the
248 LIMITATIONS section for details.
249 Incompatibilities with previous versions of "Curses"
251 In previous versions of this software, some Perl functions took a
252 different set of parameters than their C counterparts. This is not
253 true in the current version. You should now use getstr($str) and
254 "getyx($y, $x)" instead of "$str = getstr()" and "($y, $x) = getyx()".
255
257 • Curses function '%s' called with too %s arguments at ...
258 You have called a "Curses" function with a wrong number of
260 arguments.
261 • argument %d to Curses function '%s' is not a Curses %s at ...
263 • argument is not a Curses %s at ...
265 The argument you gave to the function wasn't of a valid type for
267 the place you used it.
268 This probably means that you didn't give the right arguments to a
270 unified function. See the DESCRIPTION section on "Unified
271 Functions" for more information.
272 • Curses function '%s' is not defined in your Curses library at ...
274 Your code has a call to a Perl "Curses" function that your system's
276 Curses library doesn't provide.
277 • Curses variable '%s' is not defined in your Curses library at ...
279 Your code has a Perl "Curses" variable that your system's Curses
281 library doesn't provide.
282 • Curses constant '%s' is not defined in your Curses library at ...
284 Your code references the specified "Curses" constant, and your
286 system's Curses library doesn't provide it.

296 Check out the perldiag man page to see if the error is in there.
298
300 If you use the variables $stdscr and $curscr instead of their
301 functional counterparts ("stdscr" and "curscr"), you might run into a
302 bug in Perl where the "magic" isn't called early enough. This is
303 manifested by the "Curses" package telling you $stdscr isn't a window.
304 One workaround is to put a line like "$stdscr = $stdscr" near the front
305 of your program.
