DESCRIPTION +This implementation can be configured to provide rudimentary support +for multi-threaded applications. +This makes a different set of libraries, e.g., \fBlibncursest\fP since +the binary interfaces are different. +.PP +Rather than modify the interfaces to pass a thread specifier to +each function, it adds a few functions which can be used in any +configuration which hide the mutex's needed to prevent concurrent +use of the global variables when configured for threading. +.PP +In addition to forcing access to members of the \fBWINDOW\fP structure +to be via functions (see \fBcurs_opaque\fP(3X)), +it makes functions of the common global variables, +e.g., +COLORS, +COLOR_PAIRS, +COLS, +ESCDELAY, +LINES, +TABSIZE +curscr, +newscr and +ttytype. +Those variables are maintained as read-only values, stored in the \fBSCREEN\fP +structure. +.PP +Even this is not enough to make a thread-safe application using curses. +A multi-threaded application would be expected to have threads updating +separate windows (within the same device), +or updating on separate screens (on different devices). +Also, a few of the global variables are considered writable by some +applications. +The functions described here address these special situations. +.PP +The ESCDELAY and TABSIZE global variables are modified by some applications. +To modify them in any configuration, +use the \fBset_escdelay\fP or \fBset_tabsize\fP functions. +Other global variables are not modifiable. +.PP +The \fBget_escdelay\fP function returns the value for ESCDELAY. +.PP +The \fBuse_window\fP and \fBuse_screen\fP functions provide coarse +granularity mutexes for their respective \fBWINDOW\fP and \fBSCREEN\fP +parameters, and call a user-supplied function, +passing it a \fIdata\fP parameter, +and returning the value from the user-supplied function to the application. +.\" *************************************************************************** +.SS USAGE +All of the ncurses library functions assume that the locale is not +altered during operation. +In addition, +they use data which is maintained within a hierarchy of scopes. +.RS 3 +.bP +global data, e.g., used in the low-level terminfo or termcap interfaces. +.bP +terminal data, e.g., associated with a call to \fBset_curterm\fP. +The terminal data are initialized when screens are created. +.bP +screen data, e.g., associated with a call to \fBnewterm\fP or \fBinitscr\fP. +.bP +window data, e.g., associated with a call to \fBnewwin\fP or \fBsubwin\fP. +Windows are associated with screens. +Pads are not necessarily associated with a particular screen. +.IP +Most curses applications operate on one or more windows within a single screen. +.bP +reentrant, i.e., it uses only the data passed as parameters. +.RE +.PP +This table lists the scope of data used for each symbol in the +ncurses library when it is configured to support threading: +.TS +center tab(/); +l l +l l . +Symbol/Scope +=
