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.
