Where do I get ncurses man pages from?
I can't find the ncurses man pages even after:
sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev
You have to install also ncurses-doc
. To install it from terminal run the following command:
sudo apt-get install ncurses-doc
Then you can read the manual page:
man ncurses
You can also get the man page online:
http://manpages.ubuntu.com/ncurses
You can also use this link to search http://manpages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search.py?q=
. Just add your search to the end of that address.
Besides the mentioned ncurses-doc
package, don't forget to install the examples!
ncurses-examples
They are priceless... installed at /usr/lib/ncurses/examples
