#include <curses.h>-DESCRIPTION
+DESCRIPTION
The ncurses 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 clas- sic curses, which has been discontinued. This describes - ncurses version 5.9 (patch 20140524). + ncurses version 6.0 (patch 20150718).
