CURSES(3X)          UNIX Programmer's Manual           CURSES(3X)

NAME
     curses - screen functions with ``optimal'' cursor motion

SYNOPSIS
     cc ... -lcurses -ltermcap

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 _r_e_f_r_e_s_h() tells the routines to make the current
     screen look like the new one.  In order to initialize the
     routines, the routine _i_n_i_t_s_c_r() must be called before any of
     the other routines that deal with windows and screens are
     used.
