These functions are used to simplify analysis of memory
leaks in the ncurses library. They are normally not
available; they must be configured into the library at
Any implementation of curses must not free the memory as-
sociated with a screen, since (even after calling <STRONG>endwin</STRONG>),
- it must be available for use in the next call to <STRONG>refresh</STRONG>.
- There are also chunks of memory held for performance rea-
- sons. That makes it hard to analyze curses applications
- for memory leaks. To work around this, one can build a
- debugging version of the ncurses library which frees those
- chunks which it can, and provides these functions to free
- all of the memory allocated by the ncurses library.

- The _nc_free_and_exit function is the preferred one since
- some of the memory which is freed may be required for the
- application to continue running. Its parameter is the
