NAME

 halfdelay - enable/disable half-delay mode

SYNOPSIS

 
#include <curses.h>
int halfdelay(int tenths);

The nocbreak(3XCURSES) function should be used to leave half-delay mode.

PARAMETERS

 
tenths
Is the number of tenths of seconds for which to block input (1 to 255).

RETURN VALUES

 

On success, the halfdelay() function returns OK. Otherwise, it returns ERR.
