Ncurses
From dankwiki
Colors
- When modifying the palette via init_color(), this only affects the normal form of the color. Using A_BOLD with the color, for instance, will not reflect palette changes.
- Modifying the palette requires a terminal that supports it, like "linux" or "xterm-256color"
- The latter can be had from the ncurses-term package on Debian.
- ncurses will need have been compiled with --enable-ext-colors
| Terminal emulator | Default terminfo | 256-color terminfo | Debian package |
|---|---|---|---|
| xterm | xterm | xterm-256color | ncurses-base |
| Gnome-Terminal | gnome | gnome-256color | ncurses-term |
| Konsole | konsole | konsole-256color | ncurses-term |
Unicode
- You need use ncursesw, which ought have been built with --enable-widec
- _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED must be #defined prior to including any ncurses headers (use -D_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED with gcc)
- setlocale() needs have been called prior to calling any ncurses functions
- ncurses assumes that the locale does not change once started
