Description

Free software emulation of curses in SVR4 and more

Long description

The Ncurses (new curses) library is a free software emulation of curses in
System V Release 4.0, and more. It uses Terminfo format, supports pads and
color and multiple highlights and forms characters and function-key
mapping, and has all the other SYSV-curses enhancements over BSD Curses.

The ncurses code was developed under GNU/Linux. It has been in use for
some time with OpenBSD as the system curses library, and on FreeBSD and
NetBSD as an external package. It should port easily to any
ANSI/POSIX-conforming UNIX. It has even been ported to OS/2 Warp!
