libcurses(3LIB) Interface Libraries libcurses(3LIB)
NAME
libcurses, libtermcap, libtermlib - screen handling and optimization library
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lcurses [ library... ]
DESCRIPTION
Functions in the libcurses library provide a terminal-independent method of updating character screens with reasonable optimization. The
libtermcap and libtermlib libraries are identical to libcurses and are maintained for backward compatibility.
See libcurses(3XCURSES) for information about the curses library that conforms to X/Open Curses, Issue 4, Version 2.
INTERFACES
The shared objects libcurses.so.1, libtermcap.so.1, and libtermlib.so.1 provide the public interfaces defined below. See intro(3) for addi-
