<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
- The <B>trace</B> routines are used for debugging the ncurses
+ The <STRONG>trace</STRONG> routines are used for debugging the ncurses
libraries, as well as applications which use the ncurses
libraries. These functions are normally available only
- with the debugging library <I>libncurses</I><B>_</B><I>g.a</I>, but may be com-
+ with the debugging library <EM>libncurses</EM><STRONG>_</STRONG><EM>g.a</EM>, but may be com-
piled into any model (shared, static, profile) by defining
- the symbol <B>TRACE</B>.
+ the symbol <STRONG>TRACE</STRONG>.
- The principal parts of this interface are the <B>trace</B> rou-
+ The principal parts of this interface are the <STRONG>trace</STRONG> rou-
tine which selectively enables different tracing features,
- and the <B>_tracef</B> routine which writes formatted data to the
- <I>trace</I> file.
+ and the <STRONG>_tracef</STRONG> routine which writes formatted data to the
+ <EM>trace</EM> file.
- Calling <B>trace</B> with a nonzero parameter opens the file
- <B>trace</B> in the current directory for output. The parameter
- is formed by OR'ing values from the list of <B>TRACE_</B><I>xxx</I> def-
- initions in <B><curses.h></B>. These include:

TRACE_VIRTPUT

+ trace virtual character puts, i.e., calls to <STRONG>addch</STRONG>.
TRACE_IEVENT
trace low-level input processing, including timeouts.
TRACE_DATABASE
trace read/write of terminfo/termcap data.
+ TRACE_ATTRS
+ trace changes to video attributes and colors.
+
TRACE_MAXIMUM
maximum trace level, enables all of the separate
trace features.
- Some tracing features are enabled whenever the <B>trace</B>
+ Some tracing features are enabled whenever the <STRONG>trace</STRONG>
parameter is nonzero. Some features overlap. The
specific names are used as a guideline.

<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
Routines which return a value are designed to be used as
- parameters to the <B>_tracef</B> routine.
