ncurses (abbr. of new curses ) is a free C - program library to character-based user interface (Text user interface TUI) independently of the illustrative text terminal or terminal emulator display. The control of the terminal is abstracted to such an extent that the programming can take place independently of the type of terminal used.
Although ncurses is part of the GNU project , it is not distributed under the GPL or LGPL , but under a slightly modified MIT license .
ncurses began as a new implementation ( clone ) of curses in Release 4.0 of System V , which in turn is a further development of the BSD implementation of the same name .
