Curses compatibility

Edit online

This section describes the compatibility issues.

The following compatibility issues need to be considered:

  • In AIX® 4.3, curses is not compatible with AT&T System V Release 3.2 curses.
  • Applications compiled, rebound, or relinked may need source code changes for compatibility with the AIX Version 4 of curses. The curses library does not have or use AIX extended curses functions.
  • Applications requiring multibyte support might still compile and link with extended curses. Use of the extended curses library is, however, discouraged except for applications that require multibyte support.
