ncurses (new curses) is a programming library providing an application programming interface (API) that allows the programmer to write text-based user interfaces (TUI) in a terminal-independent manner. It is a toolkit for developing "GUI-like" application software that runs under a terminal emulator. It also optimizes screen changes, in order to reduce the latency experienced when using remote shells.
ncurses is a free-software emulation of the System V Release 4.0 (SVr4) curses.
There are bindings for ncurses in a variety of programming languages, including Ada,[4] Python,[5] Gambas,[6] Ruby,[7] PHP,[8] JavaScript,[9] and Perl.[10]
