Depending on the configuration, these may be actual variables, or macros (see curs_threads(3X) and curs_opaque(3X)) which provide read-only access to curses's state. In either case, applications should treat them as read-only to avoid confusing the library.
This is referred to as the ``physical screen'' in the curs_refresh(3X) and curs_outopts(3X) manual pages.
This is referred to as the ``virtual screen'' in the curs_kernel(3X), curs_refresh(3X) and curs_outopts(3X) manual pages.
If curses is configured to use separate curses/terminfo libraries, most of these variables reside in the curses library.
ESCDELAY is an extension in AIX curses:
.IP • 4 In AIX, the units for ESCDELAY are fifths of a millisecond.
.IP • 4 The default value for AIX's ESCDELAY is 0.1 seconds.
