29 Is an ignored parameter.
38 Is a Boolean expression.
44 Whether a terminal returns 7 or 8 significant bits initially depends on the
45 control mode of the terminal driver. The \fBmeta()\fR function forces the
46 number of bits to be returned by \fBgetch\fR(3XCURSES) to be 7 (if \fIbf\fR is
47 \fBFALSE\fR) or 8 (if \fIbf\fR is \fBTRUE\fR).
50 If the program handling the data can only pass 7-bit characters or strips the
51 8th bit, 8 bits cannot be handled.
54 If the \fBterminfo\fR capabilities \fBsmm\fR (meta_on) and \fBrmm\fR (meta_off)
55 are defined for the terminal, \fBsmm\fR is sent to the terminal when
56 \fBmeta(\fR\fIwin\fR\fB, TRUE)\fR is called, and \fBrmm\fR is sent when
57 \fBmeta(\fR\fIwin\fR\fB, FALSE)\fR is called.
60 This function is useful when extending the non-text command set in applications
61 where the META key is used.
65 On success, the \fBmeta()\fR function returns \fBOK\fR. Otherwise, it returns
