Introduction to ncurses


New curses (ncurses) is an openly distributable library of functions that deals with an application's user interface (UI) in text mode. It creates a wrapper over terminal abilities. ncurses is a free software, it is not an open source. It provides functions to make imaginary screen windows for logical calculations, print windows, and so on. Libraries for panels, menus, and forms use the ncurses library and extend the basic functionality of ncurses as required. We can make applications that contain numerous windows, menus, panels, and forms; windows can be overseen autonomously, can give scrollability, and can even be covered up.

Menus give the client a simple order determination choice, forms permit the formation of easy−to−use information sections and show windows, and panels stretch out the abilities of ncurses to manage covering and stacked windows. These are a portion of the essential things we can do with ncurses. As we progress, we will see how to build a native...
