+ The command-line utilities such as tic(1) provide a ver-
+ bose option which extends the set of messages written us-
+ ing the trace function. Both of these (-v and trace) use
+ the same variable (_nc_tracing), which determines the mes-
+ sages which are written.
+
+ Because the command-line utilities may call initialization
+ functions such as setupterm, tgetent or use_extend-
+ ed_names, some of their debugging output may be directed
+ to the trace file if the NCURSES_TRACE environment vari-
+ able is set:
+
+ o messages produced in the utility are written to the
+ standard error.
+
+ o messages produced by the underlying library are writ-
+ ten to trace.
+
+ If ncurses is built without tracing, none of the latter
+ are produced, and fewer diagnostics are provided by the
+ command-line utilities.
+
+
Routines which return a value are designed to be used as
parameters to the _tracef routine.
