\*C --version

\*C --help

This program development aid simplifies the process of configuring applications to use the @ADA_LIBNAME@ library binding to \%ncurses.

11 \" "--version" + 2n --cflags reports the GNAT (Ada compiler) flags needed to compile with @ADA_LIBNAME@.

--libs reports the GNAT libraries needed to link with @ADA_LIBNAME@.

--version reports the release and patch date information of the \%ncurses libraries used to configure and build @ADA_LIBNAME@ and exits successfully.

--help issues a usage message and exits successfully.

Omitting options implies \*(``--cflags --libs\*(''.

Consider a program using @ADA_LIBNAME@ to write the message \*(``Hello, world!\*('' in the center of the screen and wait for the user to press the \*(``q\*('' key before exiting. Populate a file hello.adb with the following.

.EX

with Terminal_Interface.Curses; use Terminal_Interface.Curses;

procedure Hello is
 Visibility : Cursor_Visibility := Invisible;
 Message : constant String := "Hello, World!";
 done : Boolean := False;
 c : Key_Code;
begin
 Init_Screen;
 Set_Echo_Mode (False);
 Set_Cursor_Visibility (Visibility);
 Set_Timeout_Mode (Standard_Window, Non_Blocking, 0);

 Move_Cursor (Line => Lines / 2,
 Column => (Columns - Message\*'Length) / 2);
 Add (Str => Message);

 while not done loop
 c := Get_Keystroke (Standard_Window);

 case c is
 when Character\*'Pos (\*'q\*') => done := True;
 when others => null;
 end case;

 Nap_Milli_Seconds (50);
 end loop;

 End_Windows;
end Hello;

Then, using

or, more simply, you can compile and link the program. \%curses(3X)
