    1413<para>The libraries that make up the Ncurses library are used to display text
    1514(often in a fancy way) on the screen. An example where ncurses is used
    1615is in the kernel's <quote>make menuconfig</quote> process. The libraries
    1716contain routines to create panels, menu's, form and general text display

     27take advantage of the use=  terminfo field, or print  out  a

    2533terminfo file from source format into the binary format for use with the
    2634ncurses library routines. Terminfo files contain information about the
