tparm() -- terminfo Function

Output a parameterized string
#include <curses.h>
tparm(string,p1...p9)
char *string, parm1 ... par9;

COHERENT  comes  with  a  set  of  functions  that  let  you  use  terminfo
descriptions  to manipulate  a terminal.   tparm() outputs  a parameterized
string.

A parameterized  string is a string into which  parameters can be inserted,
as in a printf() formatting string.  Under terminfo, a parameterized string
can hold  up to nine  parameters.  tparm() expands  the parameters, inserts
them into the appropriate ``slots'' within the string, and then outputs the
string.

See the  Lexicon entry  on terminfo  for more information  on parameterized
strings.
