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

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

    SYNOPSIS
         cc [ flags ] files -lcurses -ltermcap [ 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.
