14 Functions in the libcurses library provide a terminal-independent
15 method of updating character screens with reasonable optimization. The
16 libtermcap and libtermlib libraries are identical to libcurses and are
17 maintained for backward compatibility.
18 See libcurses(3XCURSES) for information about the curses library that
21 conforms to X/Open Curses, Issue 4, Version 2.

24 The shared objects libcurses.so.1, libtermcap.so.1, and libtermlib.so.1
25 provide the public interfaces defined below. See Intro(3) for addi‐
26 tional information on shared object interfaces.
