+ checking
+
+
+</PRE>
+<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2><PRE>
+ <STRONG>#include</STRONG> <STRONG>&lt;curses.h&gt;</STRONG>
+
+ <STRONG>void</STRONG> <STRONG>_nc_freeall(void);</STRONG>
+ <STRONG>void</STRONG> <STRONG>_nc_free_and_exit(int);</STRONG>
+
+
+</PRE>
+<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
+ These functions are used to simplify analysis of memory
+ leaks in the ncurses library. They are normally not
+ available; they must be configured into the library at
+ build time using the <STRONG>--disable-leaks</STRONG> option. That com-
+ piles-in code that frees memory that normally would not be
+ freed.
+
+ Any implementation of curses must not free the memory as-
+ sociated with a screen, since (even after calling <STRONG>endwin</STRONG>),
+ it must be available for use in the next call to <STRONG>refresh</STRONG>.
+ There are also chunks of memory held for performance rea-
+ sons. That makes it hard to analyze curses applications
+ for memory leaks. To work around this, one can build a
+ debugging version of the ncurses library which frees those
+ chunks which it can, and provides these functions to free
+ all of the memory allocated by the ncurses library.
+
+ The _nc_free_and_exit function is the preferred one since
+ some of the memory which is freed may be required for the
+ application to continue running. Its parameter is the
+ code to pass to the exit routine.
+
+
+</PRE>
+<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
+ These functions do not return a value.
+
+
+</PRE>
+<H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE>
+ These functions are not part of the XSI interface.
