9: .SH NAME
10: curses \- screen functions with ``optimal'' cursor motion
11: .SH SYNOPSIS
12: .B cc
13: [ flags ] files
14: .B \-lcurses \-ltermcap
15: [ libraries ]
16: .SH DESCRIPTION
17: These routines give the user a method of updating screens with reasonable
18: optimization. They keep an image of the current screen,
19: and the user sets up an image of a new one. Then the
20: .I refresh()
21: tells the routines to make the current screen look like the new one.
22: In order to initialize the routines, the routine
23: .I initscr()
24: must be called before any of the other routines that deal with windows and
25: screens are used. The routine
26: .I endwin()
27: should be called before exiting.
