NAME

meta − force the number of significant bits on input

SYNOPSIS

#include <curses.h>

meta(win, bf)
WINDOW ∗win;
bool bf;

DESCRIPTION

This function forces the user’s terminal to return 7 or 8 significant bits on input. To force 8 bits to be returned, invoke meta with bf as TRUE.  To force 7 bits to be returned, invoke meta with bf as FALSE. 

The window argument is always ignored, but it must still be a valid window to avoid compiler errors.
