X/Open Curses, Issue 7

The CURSES functions provide a terminal-independent method of updating character screens. A comprehensive API lets the application perform terminal operations: overall screen, window and pad manipulation, output to windows and pads; reading terminal input; control over terminal and CURSES input and output options; environment query functions; color manipulation; use of soft label keys; terminfo access; and access to low-level CURSES functions.

Issue 7 aligns with The Open Group Base Specifications, Issue 7 (C082). It contains corrections and clarifications which have been suggested by industry feedback and includes new utilities.
