comments of hardscroll.c and hashmap.c; then try it out. You can also
test the hardware-scrolling optimization separately with hardscroll.
- There's one other interactive tester, tctest, that exercises
- translation between termcap and terminfo formats. If you have a
- serious need to run this, you probably belong on our development team!

A Tour of the Ncurses Library
Library Overview

It is rather unlikely you will ever need to change these, unless you
- want to introduce a new debug trace level for some reasoon.
+ want to introduce a new debug trace level for some reason.
There is another group of files that do direct I/O via tputs(),
computations on the terminal capabilities, or queries to the OS
transformations of curscr lines to newscr lines. Its main tool is the
routine mvcur() in lib_mvcur.c. This routine does cursor-movement
optimization, attempting to get from given screen location A to given
- location B in the fewest output characters posible.
+ location B in the fewest output characters possible.
If you want to work on screen optimizations, you should use the fact
that (in the trace-enabled version of the library) enabling the
