CURSES(S) XENIX System V CURSES(S)
Name
curses - Performs screen and cursor functions.
Syntax
#include <curses.h>
WINDOW *curscr, *stdscr;
cc -DM_TERMCAP filename -ltcap -ltermlib
Description
These routines give the user a method of updating screens
with reasonable optimization. They keep an image of the
current screen, curscr. The user modifies this image by
modifying the standard screen, stdscr, or by setting up a
new screen. The refresh and wrefresh routines make the
current screen look like the modified one. In order to
initialize the routines, the routine initscr must be called
before any of the other routines that deal with windows and
screens are used.
The routines are linked with the linker options -ltcap and
-ltermlib. Programs using these routines must be compiled
with M_TERMCAP defined.
