nCurses is a programming library with an API that allows programmers to write text user interfaces in a terminal-independent manner; it's currently the most popular way to program a console in the Unix environment
The book serves as a tutorial that walks C language programmers from the very basics of ncurses to the more advanced functions, such as manipulating windows, reading the keyboard, color text, using the mouse, and other more advanced possibilities
The book is also a reference that contains more than 180 standard ncurses library functions and constants and explains how each of these options is optimally used
Various notes describe the function behavior, while sample code and programs round out the reference
