+.SH DESCRIPTION
+These routines set options that change the style of output within
+\fBncurses\fR. All options are initially \fBFALSE\fR, unless otherwise stated.
+It is not necessary to turn these options off before calling \fBendwin\fR.
+
+With the \fBclearok\fR routine, if enabled (\fIbf\fR is \fBTRUE\fR), the next
+call to \fBwrefresh\fR with this window will clear the screen completely and
+redraw the entire screen from scratch. This is useful when the contents of the
+screen are uncertain, or in some cases for a more pleasing visual effect. If
+the \fIwin\fR argument to \fBclearok\fR is the global variable \fBcurscr\fR,
+the next call to \fBwrefresh\fR with any window causes the screen to be cleared
+and repainted from scratch.
+
+With the \fBidlok\fR routine, if enabled (\fIbf\fR is \fBTRUE\fR),
+\fBncurses\fR considers using the hardware insert/delete line feature of
+terminals so equipped. If disabled (\fIbf\fR is \fBFALSE\fR), \fBncurses\fR
+very seldom uses this feature. (The insert/delete character feature is always
+considered.) This option should be enabled only if the application needs
+insert/delete line, for example, for a screen editor. It is disabled by
+default because insert/delete line tends to be visually annoying when used in
+applications where it isn't really needed. If insert/delete line cannot be
+used, \fBncurses\fR redraws the changed portions of all lines.
+
+With the \fBidcok\fR routine, if enabled (\fIbf\fR is \fBTRUE\fR),
+\fBncurses\fR considers using the hardware insert/delete character feature of
+terminals so equipped. This is enabled by default.
+
+With the \fBimmedok\fR routine, if enabled (\fIbf\fR is \fBTRUE)\fR, any change
+in the window image, such as the ones caused by \fBwaddch, wclrtobot, wscrl\fR,
+\fIetc\fR., automatically cause a call to \fBwrefresh\fR. However, it may
+degrade the performance considerably, due to repeated calls to \fBwrefresh\fR.
+It is disabled by default.
+
+Normally, the hardware cursor is left at the location of the window cursor
+being refreshed. The \fBleaveok\fR option allows the cursor to be left
+wherever the update happens to leave it. It is useful for applications where
+the cursor is not used, since it reduces the need for cursor motions. If
+possible, the cursor is made invisible when this option is enabled.
+
+The \fBsetscrreg\fR and \fBwsetscrreg\fR routines allow the application
+programmer to set a software scrolling region in a window. \fItop\fR and
+\fIbot\fR are the line numbers of the top and bottom margin of the scrolling
+region. (Line 0 is the top line of the window.) If this option and
+\fBscrollok\fR are enabled, an attempt to move off the bottom margin line
+causes all lines in the scrolling region to scroll up one line. Only the text
+of the window is scrolled. (Note that this has nothing to do with the use of a
+physical scrolling region capability in the terminal, like that in the VT100.
+If \fBidlok\fR is enabled and the terminal has either a scrolling region or
+insert/delete line capability, they will probably be used by the output
+routines.)
+
+The \fBscrollok\fR option controls what happens when the cursor of a window is
+moved off the edge of the window or scrolling region, either as a result of a
+newline action on the bottom line, or typing the last character of the last
+line. If disabled, (\fIbf\fR is \fBFALSE\fR), the cursor is left on the bottom
+line. If enabled, (\fIbf\fR is \fBTRUE\fR), \fBwrefresh\fR is called on the
+window, and the physical terminal and window are scrolled up one line. [Note
+that in order to get the physical scrolling effect on the terminal, it is also
+necessary to call \fBidlok\fR.]
+
+The \fBnl\fR and \fBnonl\fR routines control whether newline is translated into
+carriage return and linefeed on output, and whether return is translated into
+newline on input. Initially, the translations do occur. By disabling these
+translations using \fBnonl\fR, \fBncurses\fR is able to make better use of the
+linefeed capability, resulting in faster cursor motion.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+\fBsetscrreg\fR and \fBwsetscrreg\fR return \fBOK\fR upon success and \fBERR\fR upon failure.
+All other routines that return an integer always return \fBOK\fR.
+.SH BUGS
+The entry points \fBidcok\fR, \fBimmedok\fR are not yet implemented in
+ncurses 1.8.1.
+.SH NOTES
+Note that \fBclearok\fR, \fBleaveok\fR, \fBscrollok\fR, \fBidcok\fR, \fBnl\fR,
+\fBnonl\fR and \fBsetscrreg\fR may be macros.
+
+The \fBimmedok\fR routine is useful for windows that are used as terminal
+emulators.
