DESCRIPTION

20       The curs_set() function sets the visibility of the cursor to  invisible
21       (0), normal (1), or very visible (2).   The exact appearance of  normal
22       and very visible cursors is terminal dependent.
23

PARAMETERS

25       visibility    Is a value of 0 (invisible), 1 (normal), or 2 (very visi‐
26                     ble).

RETURN VALUES

30       If the terminal supports the mode specified by the  visibility  parame‐
31       ter,  the curs_set() function returns the previous cursor state. Other‐
32       wise, it returns ERR.
33

ERRORS

35       None.
