66This module supplies one function, <tt class="function">wrapper()</tt>, which runs
67another function which should be the rest of your curses-using
68application. If the application raises an exception,
69<tt class="function">wrapper()</tt> will restore the terminal to a sane state before
70re-raising the exception and generating a traceback.

77Wrapper function that initializes curses and calls another function,
78<var>func</var>, restoring normal keyboard/screen behavior on error.
79The callable object <var>func</var> is then passed the main window 'stdscr'
80as its first argument, followed by any other arguments passed to
81<tt class="function">wrapper()</tt>.
82</dl>
83
84<P>
85Before calling the hook function, <tt class="function">wrapper()</tt> turns on cbreak
86mode, turns off echo, enables the terminal keypad, and initializes
87colors if the terminal has color support. On exit (whether normally
88or by exception) it restores cooked mode, turns on echo, and disables
89the terminal keypad.
