libcurses, libtermcap, libtermlib - screen handling and optimization library
cc [ flag... ] file... -lcurses [ library... ]
Functions in the libcurses library provide a terminal-independent method of updating character screens with reasonable optimization.
The libtermcap library is a "filter" on libcurses that provides the traditional BSD-style termcap functions, and does so in a way that allows the consuming library or application to link with an alternate curses library.
The libtermlib library is identical to libcurses and is maintained for backward compatibility.
See libcurses(3XCURSES) for information about the curses library that conforms to X/Open Curses, Issue 4, Version 2.
The shared objects libcurses.so.1 and libtermlib.so.1 provide the public interfaces defined below. See Intro(3) for additional information on shared object interfaces.
