Введение

ncurses (new curses) is a free software emulation of curses in System V Rel 4.0 (and above). It uses terminfo format, supports pads, colors, multiple highlights, form characters and function key mapping. Because of the interactive nature of this library, it will be of little use for writing Web applications, but may be useful when writing scripts meant using PHP from the command line.

Ncurses is available for the following platforms:

• AIX

• BeOS

• Cygwin

• Digital Unix (aka OSF1)

• FreeBSD

• GNU/Linux

• HPUX

• IRIX

• OS/2

• SCO OpenServer

• Solaris

• SunOS

Замечание: This extension has been moved to the » PECL repository and is no longer bundled with PHP as of PHP 6.0.0
