tparm 

The tparm routine is used to instantiate a parameterized string
(interface to terminfo).

Syntax 

     #include <curses.h>

     char *tparm (char *str, long int p1, long int p2, long int p3,
        long int p4, long int p5, long int p6, int p7,
        long int p8, long int p9);

Parameters 

p1...p9               The parameters to be instantiated.

str                   A pointer to the string to be instantiated.

Return Values 

On success, a pointer to parameterized string is returned; otherwise, a
null pointer is returned.

Description 

The tparm() routine is a low-level routine used outside of CURSES to deal
directly with the terminfo database.  The use of appropriate CURSES
routines is recommended for most situations.

The tparm() routine instantiates a parameterized string using up to nine
arguments.  The string is suitable for output processing by tputs().
