14.5. Interfaces for libncurses

Table 14-3 defines the library name and shared object name for the libncurses library

Table 14-3. libncurses Definition

Library:libncurses
SONAME:libncurses.so.5

The parameters or return types of the following interfaces have had the const qualifier added as shown here, as compared to the specification in X/Open Curses.

extern const char *keyname (int);
extern SCREEN *newterm (const char *, FILE *, FILE *);
extern const char *unctrl (chtype);

extern int mvprintw (int, int, const char *, ...);
extern int mvwprintw (WINDOW *, int, int, const char *, ...);
extern int printw (const char *, ...);
extern int vwprintw (WINDOW *, const char *, va_list);
extern int vw_printw (WINDOW *, const char *, va_list);
extern int wprintw (WINDOW *, const char *, ...);

extern int mvscanw (int, int, const char *, ...);
extern int mvwscanw (WINDOW *, int, int, const char *, ...);
extern int scanw (const char *, ...);
extern int vwscanw (WINDOW *, const char *, va_list);
extern int vw_scanw (WINDOW *, const char *, va_list);
extern int wscanw (WINDOW *, const char *, ...);

The behavior of the interfaces in this library is specified by the following specifications:
