## NAME

tickit\_term\_print - send text to the terminal

## SYNOPSIS

```
#include <tickit.h>

void tickit_term_print(TickitTerm *tt, const char *str);
void tickit_term_printn(TickitTerm *tt, const char *str, size_t len);

void tickit_term_printf(TickitTerm *tt, const char *fmt, ...);

## DESCRIPTION

**tickit\_term\_print**() sends a string of text to the terminal to be printed at the current cursor location. The string must be free from any control characters.  **tickit\_term\_printn**() sends a string at most *len* characters to be printed.

**tickit\_term\_printf**() sends a string of text built by formatting the given arguments in the same way that [**printf**(3)](/printf/3.md) does. **tickit\_term\_vprintf**() is similar, taking its arguments instead in a **va\_list** as [**vprintf**(3)](/vprintf/3.md) does.

## RETURN VALUE

**tickit\_term\_print**(), **tickit\_term\_printf**() and **tickit\_term\_vprintf**() return no value.
