22: .SH NAME
23: curses \- screen functions with ``optimal'' cursor motion
24: .SH SYNOPSIS
25: .B cc
26: [ flags ] files
27: .B \-lcurses \-ltermcap
28: [ libraries ]
29: .SH DESCRIPTION
30: These routines give the user a method of updating screens with reasonable
31: optimization. They keep an image of the current screen,
32: and the user sets up an image of a new one. Then the
33: .I refresh()
34: tells the routines to make the current screen look like the new one.
35: In order to initialize the routines, the routine
36: .I initscr()
37: must be called before any of the other routines that deal with windows and
38: screens are used. The routine
39: .I endwin()
40: should be called before exiting.
