<H2>NAME</H2><PRE>
       <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> - CRT screen handling and optimization package


</PRE>
<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2><PRE>
       <STRONG>#include</STRONG> <STRONG>&lt;curses.h&gt;</STRONG>


</PRE>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
       The  <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG>  library  routines  give the user a terminal-
       independent method of updating character screens with rea-
       sonable   optimization.    This  implementation  is  ``new
       curses'' (ncurses) and is  the  approved  replacement  for
       4.4BSD classic curses, which has been discontinued.

       The  <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG>  routines  emulate  the <STRONG><A HREF="ncurses.3x.html">curses(3x)</A></STRONG> library of
       System V Release 4 UNIX, and the XPG4 curses standard (XSI
       curses)  but the <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> library is freely redistributable
       in source form.  Differences from the SVr4 curses are sum-
       marized  under  the EXTENSIONS and BUGS sections below and
       described in detail in the EXTENSIONS and BUGS sections of
       individual man pages.

       A  program  using  these  routines must be linked with the
       <STRONG>-lncurses</STRONG> option, or (if it has been generated)  with  the
       debugging  library  <STRONG>-lncurses_g</STRONG>.   (Your system integrator
       may also have installed these libraries  under  the  names
       <STRONG>-lcurses</STRONG> and <STRONG>-lcurses_g</STRONG>.)  The ncurses_g library generates
       trace logs (in a file called 'trace' in the current direc-
       tory) that describe curses actions.

       The  <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG>  package supports: overall screen, window and
       pad manipulation; output to windows and pads; reading ter-
       minal  input;  control  over terminal and <STRONG>curses</STRONG> input and
       output options; environment query routines; color  manipu-
       lation; use of soft label keys; terminfo capabilities; and
       access to low-level terminal-manipulation routines.

       To initialize the routines, the routine <STRONG>initscr</STRONG> or <STRONG>newterm</STRONG>
       must  be called before any of the other routines that deal
       with windows and screens are  used.   The  routine  <STRONG>endwin</STRONG>
       must be called before exiting.  To get character-at-a-time
       input without echoing (most interactive,  screen  oriented
       programs  want  this),  the  following  sequence should be
       used:

             <STRONG>initscr();</STRONG> <STRONG>cbreak();</STRONG> <STRONG>noecho();</STRONG>

       Most programs would additionally use the sequence:

             <STRONG>nonl();</STRONG>
             <STRONG>intrflush(stdscr,</STRONG> <STRONG>FALSE);</STRONG>
             <STRONG>keypad(stdscr,</STRONG> <STRONG>TRUE);</STRONG>

       Before a <STRONG>curses</STRONG> program is run, the tab stops of the  ter-
       minal  should  be  set  and its initialization strings, if
       defined, must be output.  This can be  done  by  executing
       the <STRONG>tput</STRONG> <STRONG>init</STRONG> command after the shell environment variable
       <STRONG>TERM</STRONG> has been exported.  <STRONG>tset(1)</STRONG>  is  usually  responsible
       for doing this.  [See <STRONG><A HREF="terminfo.5.html">terminfo(5)</A></STRONG> for further details.]

       The  <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG>  library  permits manipulation of data struc-
       tures, called <EM>windows</EM>, which can be  thought  of  as  two-
       dimensional  arrays of characters representing all or part
       of a CRT screen.  A default window called <STRONG>stdscr</STRONG>, which is
       the  size of the terminal screen, is supplied.  Others may
       be created with <STRONG>newwin</STRONG>.

       Note that <STRONG>curses</STRONG>  does  not  handle  overlapping  windows,
       that's  done by the <STRONG><A HREF="panel.3x.html">panel(3x)</A></STRONG> library. This means that you
       can either use <STRONG>stdscr</STRONG> or divide the screen into tiled win-
       dows  and  not  using  <STRONG>stdscr</STRONG>  at all. Mixing the two will
       result in unpredictable, and undesired, effects.

       Windows are referred to by variables declared as <STRONG>WINDOW</STRONG> <STRONG>*</STRONG>.
       These   data  structures  are  manipulated  with  routines
       described here and elsewhere in the <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> manual  pages.
       Among  which  the  most basic routines are <STRONG>move</STRONG> and <STRONG>addch</STRONG>.
       More general versions of these routines are included  with
       names  beginning  with  <STRONG>w</STRONG>,  allowing the user to specify a
       window.  The routines not beginning with <STRONG>w</STRONG> affect <STRONG>stdscr</STRONG>.)

       After  using  routines  to manipulate a window, <STRONG>refresh</STRONG> is
       called, telling <STRONG>curses</STRONG> to make the user's CRT screen  look
       like  <STRONG>stdscr</STRONG>.   The characters in a window are actually of
       type <STRONG>chtype</STRONG>, (character and attribute data) so that  other
       information  about  the  character may also be stored with
       each character.

       Special windows  called  <EM>pads</EM>  may  also  be  manipulated.
       These are windows which are not constrained to the size of
       the screen and whose contents need not be completely  dis-
       played.  See <STRONG><A HREF="curs_pad.3x.html">curs_pad(3x)</A></STRONG> for more information.

       In  addition  to  drawing  characters on the screen, video
       attributes and colors may be supported, causing the  char-
       acters  to show up in such modes as underlined, in reverse
       video, or in color on terminals that support such  display
       enhancements.  Line drawing characters may be specified to
       be output.  On input, <STRONG>curses</STRONG> is  also  able  to  translate
       arrow  and  function  keys  that transmit escape sequences
       into single values.  The video  attributes,  line  drawing
       characters,   and  input  values  use  names,  defined  in
       <STRONG>&lt;curses.h&gt;</STRONG>, such as <STRONG>A_REVERSE</STRONG>, <STRONG>ACS_HLINE</STRONG>, and <STRONG>KEY_LEFT</STRONG>.

       If the environment variables <STRONG>LINES</STRONG> and <STRONG>COLUMNS</STRONG> are set, or
       if  the program is executing in a window environment, line
       and column information in the  environment  will  override
       information read by <EM>terminfo</EM>.  This would effect a program
       running in an AT&amp;T 630 layer, for example, where the  size
       of a screen is changeable (see <STRONG>ENVIRONMENT</STRONG>).

       If  the environment variable <STRONG>TERMINFO</STRONG> is defined, any pro-
       gram using <STRONG>curses</STRONG> checks for a local  terminal  definition
       before  checking  in  the standard place.  For example, if
       <STRONG>TERM</STRONG> is set to <STRONG>att4424</STRONG>, then the compiled terminal defini-
       tion is found in

             <STRONG>/usr/share/terminfo/a/att4424</STRONG>.

       (The <STRONG>a</STRONG> is copied from the first letter of <STRONG>att4424</STRONG> to avoid
       creation of huge directories.)  However,  if  <STRONG>TERMINFO</STRONG>  is
       set to <STRONG>$HOME/myterms</STRONG>, <STRONG>curses</STRONG> first checks

             <STRONG>$HOME/myterms/a/att4424</STRONG>,

       and if that fails, it then checks

             <STRONG>/usr/share/terminfo/a/att4424</STRONG>.

       This  is useful for developing experimental definitions or
       when write permission in <STRONG>/usr/share/terminfo</STRONG> is not avail-
       able.

       The  integer  variables  <STRONG>LINES</STRONG>  and  <STRONG>COLS</STRONG>  are  defined in
       <STRONG>&lt;curses.h&gt;</STRONG> and will be filled in by <STRONG>initscr</STRONG> with the  size
       of the screen.  The constants <STRONG>TRUE</STRONG> and <STRONG>FALSE</STRONG> have the val-
       ues <STRONG>1</STRONG> and <STRONG>0</STRONG>, respectively.

       The <STRONG>curses</STRONG> routines also  define  the  <STRONG>WINDOW</STRONG>  <STRONG>*</STRONG>  variable
       <STRONG>curscr</STRONG> which is used for certain low-level operations like
       clearing and redrawing a screen containing  garbage.   The
       <STRONG>curscr</STRONG> can be used in only a few routines.

   <STRONG>Routine</STRONG> <STRONG>and</STRONG> <STRONG>Argument</STRONG> <STRONG>Names</STRONG>
       Many  <STRONG>curses</STRONG> routines have two or more versions.  The rou-
       tines prefixed with <STRONG>w</STRONG> require a window argument.  The rou-
       tines prefixed with <STRONG>p</STRONG> require a pad argument.  Those with-
       out a prefix generally use <STRONG>stdscr</STRONG>.

       The routines prefixed with <STRONG>mv</STRONG> require a <EM>y</EM> and <EM>x</EM> coordinate
       to  move to before performing the appropriate action.  The
       <STRONG>mv</STRONG> routines imply a call to <STRONG>move</STRONG> before the  call  to  the
       other  routine.  The coordinate <EM>y</EM> always refers to the row
       (of the window), and <EM>x</EM> always refers to the  column.   The
       upper left-hand corner is always (0,0), not (1,1).

       The routines prefixed with <STRONG>mvw</STRONG> take both a window argument
       and <EM>x</EM> and <EM>y</EM> coordinates.  The window  argument  is  always
       specified before the coordinates.

       In  each  case, <EM>win</EM> is the window affected, and <EM>pad</EM> is the
       pad affected; <EM>win</EM> and <EM>pad</EM> are always pointers to type <STRONG>WIN-</STRONG>
       <STRONG>DOW</STRONG>.

       Option setting routines require a Boolean flag <EM>bf</EM> with the
       value <STRONG>TRUE</STRONG> or <STRONG>FALSE</STRONG>; <EM>bf</EM> is always of type <STRONG>bool</STRONG>.  The vari-
       ables  <EM>ch</EM>  and <EM>attrs</EM> below are always of type <STRONG>chtype</STRONG>.  The
       types <STRONG>WINDOW</STRONG>, <STRONG>SCREEN</STRONG>, <STRONG>bool</STRONG>,  and  <STRONG>chtype</STRONG>  are  defined  in
       <STRONG>&lt;curses.h&gt;</STRONG>.   The  type  <STRONG>TERMINAL</STRONG>  is defined in <STRONG>&lt;term.h&gt;</STRONG>.
       All other arguments are integers.

   <STRONG>Routine</STRONG> <STRONG>Name</STRONG> <STRONG>Index</STRONG>
       The following table lists each <STRONG>curses</STRONG> routine and the name
       of  the  manual  page  on which it is described.  Routines
       flagged with `*' are ncurses-specific,  not  described  by
       XPG4 or present in SVr4.

<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
       Routines  that  return  an integer return <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon failure
       and an integer value other than <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon  successful  com-
       pletion,  unless  otherwise  noted in the routine descrip-
       tions.

       All macros return the  value  of  the  <STRONG>w</STRONG>  version,  except
       <STRONG>setscrreg</STRONG>, <STRONG>wsetscrreg</STRONG>, <STRONG>getyx</STRONG>, <STRONG>getbegyx</STRONG>, and <STRONG>getmaxyx</STRONG>.  The
       return values of <STRONG>setscrreg</STRONG>, <STRONG>wsetscrreg</STRONG>,  <STRONG>getyx</STRONG>,  <STRONG>getbegyx</STRONG>,
       and <STRONG>getmaxyx</STRONG> are undefined (i.e., these should not be used
       as the right-hand side of assignment statements).

       Routines that return pointers return <STRONG>NULL</STRONG> on error.


</PRE>
<H2>ENVIRONMENT</H2><PRE>
       The following environment symbols are useful for customiz-
       ing the runtime behavior of the <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> library.  The most
       important ones have been already discussed in detail.

       BAUDRATE
            The debugging library checks this environment  symbol
            when the application has redirected output to a file.
            The symbol's numeric value is used for the  baudrate.
            If no value is found, <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> uses 9600.  This allows
            testers to construct repeatable test-cases that  take
            into account costs that depend on baudrate.

       CC   When set, change occurrences of the command_character
            (i.e., the <STRONG>cmdch</STRONG> capability) of the  loaded  terminfo
            entries  to  the value of this symbol.  Very few ter-
            minfo entries provide this feature.

       COLUMNS
            Specify  the  width  of  the  screen  in  characters.
            Applications  running in a windowing environment usu-
            ally are able to obtain the width of  the  window  in
            which  they  are  executing.  If neither the $COLUMNS
            value nor the terminal's screen  size  is  available,
            <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG>  uses  the size which may be specified in the
            terminfo database (i.e., the <STRONG>cols</STRONG> capability).

            It is important that your application use  a  correct
            size  for  the  screen.   However, this is not always
            possible because your application may be running on a
            host  which  does  not honor NAWS (Negotiations About
            Window Size), or because you are temporarily  running
            as another user.

            Either  COLUMNS  or  LINES  symbols  may be specified
            independently.  This is mainly useful  to  circumvent
            legacy  misfeatures  of  terminal descriptions, e.g.,
            xterm which commonly specifies a 65 line screen.  For
            best  results, <STRONG>lines</STRONG> and <STRONG>cols</STRONG> should not be specified
            in a terminal description for terminals which are run
            as emulations.

            Use the <STRONG>use_env</STRONG> function to disable this feature.

       ESCDELAY
            Specifies  the total time, in milliseconds, for which
            ncurses will await  a  character  sequence,  e.g.,  a
            function  key.  The default value, 1000 milliseconds,
            is enough for most uses.  However, it is made a vari-
            able to accommodate unusual applications.

            The most common instance where you may wish to change
            this value is to work with slow hosts, e.g.,  running
            on  a  network.   If  the host cannot read characters
            rapidly enough, it will have the same  effect  as  if
            the  terminal did not send characters rapidly enough.
            The library will still see a timeout.

            Note that xterm mouse events are built up from  char-
            acter  sequences  received  from  the xterm.  If your
            application makes heavy use of multiple-clicking, you
            may  wish  to lengthen this default value because the
            timeout applies to the composed multi-click event  as
            well as the individual clicks.

       HOME Tells  <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> where your home directory is.  That is
            where  it  may  read  and  write  auxiliary  terminal
            descriptions:

            $HOME/.termcap
            $HOME/.terminfo

       LINES
            Like  COLUMNS,  specify  the  height of the screen in
            characters.  See COLUMNS for a detailed  description.

       MOUSE_BUTTONS_123
            This applies only to the OS/2 EMX port.  It specifies
            the order of buttons on the mouse.   OS/2  numbers  a
            3-button mouse inconsistently from other platforms:

            1 = left
            2 = right
            3 = middle.

            This symbol lets you customize the mouse.  The symbol
            must be three numeric digits 1-3 in any order,  e.g.,
            123  or  321.   If  it is not specified, <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> uses
            132.

       NCURSES_ASSUMED_COLORS
            Override the compiled-in assumption that  the  termi-
            nal's   default   colors   are   white-on-black  (see
            <STRONG><A HREF="assume_default_colors.3x.html">assume_default_colors(3x)</A></STRONG>).  You may  set  the  fore-
            ground and background color values with this environ-
            ment variable by  proving  a  2-element  list:  fore-
            ground,background.   For  example, to tell ncurses to
            not assume anything about the  colors,  set  this  to
            "-1,-1".  To make it green-on-black, set it to "2,0".
            Any positive value from zero to the terminfo <STRONG>max_col-</STRONG>
            <STRONG>ors</STRONG> value is allowed.

       NCURSES_NO_PADDING
            Most  of  the  terminal  descriptions in the terminfo
            database are written for real  "hardware"  terminals.
            Many  people  use  terminal  emulators which run in a
            windowing environment and use  curses-based  applica-
            tions.   Terminal  emulators can duplicate all of the
            important aspects of a hardware terminal, but they do
            not  have the same limitations.  The chief limitation
            of a hardware terminal from the  standpoint  of  your
            application  is  the  management  of  dataflow, i.e.,
            timing.  Unless a  hardware  terminal  is  interfaced
            into  a  terminal  concentrator (which does flow con-
            trol), it (or your application) must manage dataflow,
            preventing overruns.  The cheapest solution (no hard-
            ware cost) is for your program to do this by  pausing
            after  operations that the terminal does slowly, such
            as clearing the display.

            As a result, many  terminal  descriptions  (including
            the  vt100)  have delay times embedded.  You may wish
            to use these descriptions, but not want  to  pay  the
            performance penalty.

            Set  the NCURSES_NO_PADDING symbol to disable all but
            mandatory padding.  Mandatory padding is  used  as  a
            part of special control sequences such as <EM>flash</EM>.

       NCURSES_NO_SETBUF
            Normally  <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> enables buffered output during ter-
            minal initialization.   This  is  done  (as  in  SVr4
            curses)  for  performance  reasons.  For testing pur-
            poses, both of <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> and certain applications, this
            feature    is    made    optional.     Setting    the
            NCURSES_NO_SETBUF variable disables output buffering,
            leaving  the  output  in  the  original (usually line
            buffered) mode.

       NCURSES_TRACE
            During initialization, the <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> debugging  library
            checks  the  NCURSES_TRACE symbol.  If it is defined,
            to a numeric value, <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> calls the <STRONG>trace</STRONG> function,
            using that value as the argument.

            The  argument  values, which are defined in <STRONG>curses.h</STRONG>,
            provide several types of information.   When  running
            with  traces enabled, your application will write the
            file <STRONG>trace</STRONG> to the current directory.

       TERM Denotes your terminal type.  Each  terminal  type  is
            distinct, though many are similar.

       TERMCAP
            If the <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> library has been configured with <EM>term-</EM>
            <EM>cap</EM> support, <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG>  will  check  for  a  terminal's
            description in termcap form if it is not available in
            the terminfo database.

            The  TERMCAP  symbol  contains  either   a   terminal
            description  (with  newlines stripped out), or a file
            name telling where the  information  denoted  by  the
            TERM  symbol  exists.   In  either  case,  setting it
            directs <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> to ignore the usual  place  for  this
            information, e.g., /etc/termcap.

       TERMINFO
            Overrides the directory in which <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> searches for
            your terminal description.  This is the simplest, but
            not  the  only way to change the list of directories.
            The complete list of directories in order follows:

            -  the last directory to which <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> wrote, if any,
               is searched first

            -  the directory specified by the TERMINFO symbol

            -  $HOME/.terminfo

            -  directories listed in the TERMINFO_DIRS symbol

            -  one or more directories whose names are configured
               and  compiled  into  the  ncurses  library,  e.g.,
               /usr/share/terminfo

       TERMINFO_DIRS
            Specifies  a list of directories to search for termi-
            nal descriptions.  The list is  separated  by  colons
            (i.e.,  ":") on Unix, semicolons on OS/2 EMX.  All of
            the terminal descriptions are in terminfo form, which
            makes  a  subdirectory  named for the first letter of
            the terminal names therein.

       TERMPATH
            If TERMCAP does not hold a  file  name  then  <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG>
            checks  the TERMPATH symbol.  This is a list of file-
            names separated by spaces or colons  (i.e.,  ":")  on
            Unix, semicolons on OS/2 EMX.  If the TERMPATH symbol
            is not set, <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> looks in the files  /etc/termcap,
            /usr/share/misc/termcap  and  $HOME/.termcap, in that
            order.

       The library may be configured to disregard  the  following
       variables  when  the current user is the superuser (root),
       or if the application uses setuid or  setgid  permissions:
       $TERMINFO, $TERMINFO_DIRS, $TERMPATH, as well as $HOME.

<H2>EXTENSIONS</H2><PRE>
       The  <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG>  library  can  be  compiled  with  an  option
       (<STRONG>-DUSE_GETCAP</STRONG>) that falls back to the old-style /etc/term-
       cap file if the terminal setup code cannot find a terminfo
       entry  corresponding  to <STRONG>TERM</STRONG>.  Use of this feature is not
       recommended, as it essentially includes an entire  termcap
       compiler  in the <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> startup code, at significant cost
       in core and startup cycles.

       The <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG>  library  includes  facilities  for  capturing
       mouse  events  on certain terminals (including xterm). See
       the <STRONG><A HREF="curs_mouse.3x.html">curs_mouse(3x)</A></STRONG> manual page for details.

       The <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> library includes facilities for responding  to
       window  resizing  events,  e.g., when running in an xterm.
       See the <STRONG><A HREF="resizeterm.3x.html">resizeterm(3x)</A></STRONG> and <STRONG><A HREF="wresize.3x.html">wresize(3x)</A></STRONG>  manual  pages  for
       details.   In addition, the library may be configured with
       a SIGWINCH handler.

       The <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> library extends the fixed set of function  key
       capabilities  of  terminals  by  allowing  the application
       designer to define additional key  sequences  at  runtime.
       See the <STRONG><A HREF="define_key.3x.html">define_key(3x)</A></STRONG> <STRONG><A HREF="key_defined.3x.html">key_defined(3x)</A></STRONG>, and <STRONG><A HREF="keyok.3x.html">keyok(3x)</A></STRONG> man-
       ual pages for details.

       The <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> library can exploit the capabilities of termi-
       nals  which  implement  the  ISO-6429  SGR  39  and SGR 49
       controls, which allow an application to reset the terminal
       to  its  original  foreground and background colors.  From
       the users' perspective, the application is  able  to  draw
       colored  text  on a background whose color is set indepen-
       dently, providing better  control  over  color  contrasts.
       See the <STRONG><A HREF="default_colors.3x.html">default_colors(3x)</A></STRONG> manual page for details.

       The  <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG>  library  includes  a  function for directing
       application output to a printer attached to  the  terminal
       device.  See the <STRONG><A HREF="curs_print.3x.html">curs_print(3x)</A></STRONG> manual page for details.

<H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE>
       The  <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG>  library is intended to be BASE-level confor-
       mant with the  XSI  Curses  standard.   The  EXTENDED  XSI
       Curses  functionality  (including  color  support) is sup-
       ported.

       A small number of local differences (that  is,  individual
       differences  between the XSI Curses and <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> calls) are
       described in  <STRONG>PORTABILITY</STRONG>  sections  of  the  library  man
       pages.

       The routine <STRONG>has_key</STRONG> is not part of XPG4, nor is it present
       in SVr4.  See the <STRONG><A HREF="curs_getch.3x.html">curs_getch(3x)</A></STRONG> manual page for  details.

       The  routine  <STRONG>slk_attr</STRONG> is not part of XPG4, nor is it pre-
       sent in  SVr4.   See  the  <STRONG><A HREF="curs_slk.3x.html">curs_slk(3x)</A></STRONG>  manual  page  for
       details.

       The  routines <STRONG>getmouse</STRONG>, <STRONG>mousemask</STRONG>, <STRONG>ungetmouse</STRONG>, <STRONG>mouseinter-</STRONG>
       <STRONG>val</STRONG>, and <STRONG>wenclose</STRONG> relating to mouse  interfacing  are  not
       part  of  XPG4,  nor  are  they  present in SVr4.  See the
       <STRONG><A HREF="curs_mouse.3x.html">curs_mouse(3x)</A></STRONG> manual page for details.

       The routine <STRONG>mcprint</STRONG> was not present in any previous curses
       implementation.   See  the  <STRONG><A HREF="curs_print.3x.html">curs_print(3x)</A></STRONG> manual page for
       details.

       The routine <STRONG>wresize</STRONG> is not part of XPG4, nor is it present
       in SVr4.  See the <STRONG><A HREF="wresize.3x.html">wresize(3x)</A></STRONG> manual page for details.

       In  historic curses versions, delays embedded in the capa-
       bilities <STRONG>cr</STRONG>, <STRONG>ind</STRONG>, <STRONG>cub1</STRONG>, <STRONG>ff</STRONG> and <STRONG>tab</STRONG> activated corresponding
       delay  bits  in  the UNIX tty driver.  In this implementa-
       tion, all padding is done by NUL sends.   This  method  is
       slightly  more expensive, but narrows the interface to the
       UNIX kernel  significantly  and  increases  the  package's
       portability correspondingly.

<H2>NOTES</H2><PRE>
       The  header  file  <STRONG>&lt;curses.h&gt;</STRONG>  automatically  includes the
       header files <STRONG>&lt;stdio.h&gt;</STRONG> and <STRONG>&lt;unctrl.h&gt;</STRONG>.

       If standard output from a <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> program  is  re-directed
       to  something  which  is not a tty, screen updates will be
       directed to standard error.  This was an undocumented fea-
       ture of AT&amp;T System V Release 3 curses.
