+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The \fBtrace\fR routines are used for debugging the ncurses libraries,
+as well as applications which use the ncurses libraries.
+These functions are normally available only with the debugging library
+\fIlibncurses_g.a\fR, but may be compiled into any model (shared, static,
+profile) by defining the symbol \fBTRACE\fR.
+
+The principal parts of this interface are the \fBtrace\fR routine which
+selectively enables different tracing features, and the \fB_tracef\fR
+routine which writes formatted data to the \fItrace\fR file.
+
+Calling \fBtrace\fR with a nonzero parameter opens the file \fBtrace\fR
+in the current directory for output.  The parameter is formed by OR'ing
+values from the list of \fBTRACE_\fP\fIxxx\fR definitions in \fB<curses.h>\fR.
+These include:
+.TP 5
+TRACE_DISABLE
+turn off tracing.
+.TP 5
+TRACE_TIMES
+trace user and system times of updates.
+.TP 5
+TRACE_TPUTS
+trace tputs calls.
+.TP 5
+TRACE_UPDATE
+trace update actions, old & new screens.
+.TP 5
+TRACE_MOVE
+trace cursor movement and scrolling.
+.TP 5
+TRACE_CHARPUT
+trace all character outputs.
+.TP 5
+TRACE_ORDINARY
+trace all update actions.
+The old and new screen contents are written to the trace file
+for each refresh.
+.TP 5
+TRACE_CALLS
+trace all curses calls.
+The parameters for each call are traced, as well as return values.
+.TP 5
+TRACE_VIRTPUT
+trace virtual character puts, i.e., calls to \fBaddch\fR.
+.TP 5
+TRACE_IEVENT
+trace low-level input processing, including timeouts.
+.TP 5
+TRACE_BITS
+trace state of TTY control bits.
+.TP 5
+TRACE_ICALLS
+trace internal/nested calls.
+.TP 5
+TRACE_CCALLS
+trace per-character calls.
+.TP 5
+TRACE_DATABASE
+trace read/write of terminfo/termcap data.
+.TP 5
+TRACE_MAXIMUM
+maximum trace level, enables all of the separate trace features.
+
+Some tracing features are enabled whenever the \fBtrace\fR parameter
+is nonzero.  Some features overlap.
+The specific names are used as a guideline.
+..
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+Routines which return a value are designed to be used as parameters
+to the \fB_tracef\fR routine.
+.SH PORTABILITY
+These functions are not part of the XSI interface.
+Some other curses implementations are known to
+have similar, undocumented features,
+but they are not compatible with ncurses.
