Hey,
How can I get the size of the terminal (in lines and cols) of the actual
terminal ? It would be cool if the solution uses some curses function.
Thx

It's LINES and COLS, see <curses.h>.

Hi,
Calling ioctl with TIOCGWINSZ, would be another soulution...
(tty_ioctl(4)). However I am no expert, please correct me if the above
doesn't work with curses.

Get the values of the 'LINES' and 'COLUMNS' env variables using getenv().

The simplist way - run shell command "set", you will see some setting like
...
COLUMNS=80
...
LINES=25
...
It is an environment setting.
