c - How to terminate an ncurses program with the `raw()` setting turned on? -


in order save time, i'd know if there's professional way terminate unresponsive ncurses program (from terminal) raw() setting turned on. here, ctrl+c won't help.

example progam:

#include <ncurses.h>  int main() {     initscr();     raw();      while(1)     {         printw("yello\n");     }      refresh();     endwin();      return 0; } 

whenever hit control-c (c-c) combination, terminal parses , sends signal (sigint) whatever application running in foreground. control-c has no special meaning operating system, terminal.

when call ncurses' raw() or cbreak() function, instructs terminal ignore these special characters , pass them on directly whatever's running in foreground, instructing terminal application "knows it's doing".

so yes, have "manually" (i.e. terminal) kill running application:

ps aux | grep your_executable_name kill the_pid 

yes, can while in tty. , yes, can jam whole system if lock available ttys (and don't have ssh access).
