  I believe what you want is:

    int curs_set(int visibility);

	The curs_set routine sets the cursor state is set to invisible,
	normal, or very visible for visibility equal to 0, 1, or 2
	respectively.  If the terminal supports the visibility requested, the
	previous cursor state is returned; otherwise, ERR is returned.
