.SH DESCRIPTION
The \fIcurses trace\fP routines are used for debugging the ncurses libraries,
as well as applications which use the ncurses libraries.
to set the tracing feature as if \fBcurses_trace\fP was called:

.SS Command-line Utilities
-.PP
The command-line utilities such as \fBtic\fP(1) provide a verbose option
which extends the set of messages written using the \fBcurses_trace\fP function.
Both of these (\fB\-v\fP and \fBcurses_trace\fP)
