"man reset_shell_mode" gives (among other stuff):

       The  def_prog_mode  and  def_shell_mode  routines save the
       current terminal modes as the  "program"  (in  curses)  or
       "shell"   (not   in   curses)   state   for   use  by  the
       reset_prog_mode and reset_shell_mode  routines.   This  is
       done  automatically  by  initscr.   There is one such save
       area for each screen context allocated by newterm().

       The reset_prog_mode and reset_shell_mode routines  restore
       the  terminal  to "program" (in curses) or "shell" (out of
       curses) state.  These are  done  automatically  by  endwin
       and,  after  an  endwin, by doupdate, so they normally are
       not called.
