The trace routines are used for debugging the ncurses li- braries, as well as applications which use the ncurses li- braries. These functions are normally available only with - the debugging library libncurses_g.a, but may be compiled - into any model (shared, static, profile) by defining the - symbol TRACE. Additionally, some functions are only - available with the wide-character configuration of the li- - braries. - - The principal parts of this interface are the trace rou- - tine which selectively enables different tracing features, - and the _tracef routine which writes formatted data to the - trace file. - - Calling trace with a nonzero parameter opens the file - trace in the current directory for output. The parameter - is formed by OR'ing values from the list of TRACE_xxx def- - initions in <curses.h>. These include: - - TRACE_DISABLE - turn off tracing. - - TRACE_TIMES + the debugging library e.g., libncurses_g.a, but may be + compiled into any model (shared, static, profile) by + defining the symbol TRACE.

To work around the problem of a single string-area + per function, some use a buffer-number parameter, telling + the library to allocate additional string-areas. + + +
