+.Sh NAME
+.Nm curses
+.Nd screen functions with ``optimal'' cursor motion
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm cc
+.Op Ar flags
+.Ar files
+.Fl lcurses ltermcap
+.Op Ar libraries
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+These routines give the user a method of updating screens with reasonable
+optimization. They keep an image of the current screen,
+and the user sets up an image of a new one. Then the
+.Fn refresh
+tells the routines to make the current screen look like the new one.
+In order to initialize the routines, the routine
+.Fn initscr
+must be called before any of the other routines that deal with windows and
+screens are used. The routine
+.Fn endwin
+should be called before exiting.
