CURSES(3) BSD Library Functions Manual CURSES(3)
NAME
curses — screen functions with “optimal” cursor motion
LIBRARY
Curses Library (libcurses, -lcurses)
SYNOPSIS
cc [flags] files -lcurses [libraries]
DESCRIPTION
These routines give the user a method of updating screens with reasonable
optimization. They keep an image of the current screen, and the user
sets up an image of a new one. Then the refresh() tells the routines to
make the current screen look like the new 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 routine
endwin() should be called before exiting. The routine start_color() must
be called before any of the other routines that deal with color are used.

ENVIRONMENT
COLUMNS The number of columns in the terminal if set. This is
usually automatically configured by querying the ker‐
nel.
CURSES_TRACE_MASK An integer mask that enables specific debugging
traces. Enabled only in the debug build of curses.
CURSES_TRACE_FILE A file where to output debugging information. Enabled
only in the debug build of curses.
ESCDELAY The maximum delay in milliseconds between characters
in multi-character keystrokes (such are arrow keys)
where the adjacent characters are considered part of
the same multi-character sequence. The default is 300
milliseconds.
LINES The number of lines in the terminal if set. is usu‐
ally automatically configured by querying the kernel.
TERM The terminal type of the current terminal.
