- This implementation provides functions which return properties set in
- the WINDOW structure, allowing it to be "opaque" if the symbol <STRONG>NCURS-</STRONG>
- <STRONG>ES_OPAQUE</STRONG> is defined:
+ <EM>ncurses</EM> provides functions returning properties of a <EM>WINDOW</EM> structure,
+ allowing it to be "opaque" if the application defines the
+ <STRONG>NCURSES_OPAQUE</STRONG> preprocessor symbol. <EM>Opacity</EM> in this sense means that
+ the members of <EM>struct</EM> data types are not directly accessible (for
+ instance, through "." or "->" operators), but instead must be queried
+ and/or set via library functions. Advantages of opacity include
+ greater abstraction and improved management of concurrent accesses to
+ data structures, keeping object states coherent.
