DESCRIPTION

        These functions are an extension to the curses library.  They permit an
-       application to dynamically  allocate  a  color  pair  using  the  fore-
-       ground/background  colors rather than assign a fixed color pair number,
-       and return an unused pair to the pool.

        The number of colors may be related to the  number  of  possible  color
        pairs for a given terminal, or it may not:
