+.TH print 3NCURSES 2023-12-23 "ncurses 6.4" "Library calls"
+.SH NAME
+\fB\%mcprint\fP \-
+write binary data to printer using \fIterminfo\fR capabilities
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+\fB#include <ncursesw/curses.h>
+.PP
+\fBint mcprint(char *\fIdata\fP, int \fIlen\fP);
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This function uses the \fBmc5p\fP or \fBmc4\fP and \fBmc5\fP capabilities,
+if they are present, to ship given data to a printer attached to the terminal.
+.PP
+Note that the \fB\%mcprint\fP code has no way
+to do flow control with the printer
+or to know how much buffering it has.
+Your application is responsible for
+keeping the rate of writes to the printer below its continuous throughput rate
+(typically about half of its nominal cps rating).
+Dot-matrix printers and
+6-page-per-minute lasers can typically handle 80cps, so a good conservative
+rule of thumb is to sleep for a second after shipping each 80-character line.
+.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+The \fB\%mcprint\fP function returns \fBERR\fP if the write operation aborted
+for some reason.
+In this case, \fB\%errno\fP will contain either an error associated
+with \fBwrite\fP(2) or one of the following:
+.TP 5
+\fBENODEV\fP
+Capabilities for printer redirection do not exist.
+.TP 5
+\fBENOMEM\fP
+Couldn't allocate sufficient memory to buffer the printer write.
+.PP
+When \fB\%mcprint\fP succeeds, it returns the number of characters actually
+sent to the printer.
+.SH EXTENSIONS
+\fB\%mcprint\fP was designed for
+\fB\%ncurses\fP(3NCURSES),
+and was not found in SVr4
+.IR curses ,
+4.4BSD
+.IR curses ,
+or any other previous curses implementation.
+.SH PORTABILITY
+Applications employing this
+.I \%ncurses
+extension should condition its use on the visibility of the
+.B \%NCURSES_VERSION
+preprocessor macro.
+.SH BUGS
+Padding in the
+\fBmc5p\fP,
+\fBmc4\fP, and
+\fBmc5\fP capabilities is not interpreted.
