The Termcap Library

1.6.2 Sending Display Commands with Parameters

The termcap library functions tparam and tgoto serve as the analog of printf for terminal string parameters. The newer function tparam is a GNU extension, more general but missing from Unix termcap. The original parameter-encoding function is tgoto, which is preferable for cursor motion.

1.6.2.1 tparam		The general case, for GNU termcap only.
1.6.2.2 tgoto		The special case of cursor motion.
