NAME
       adacurses-config	- configuration	helper for AdaCurses libraries

SYNOPSIS
       adacurses-config	[--cflags] [--libs]

       adacurses-config	--version

       adacurses-config	--help

DESCRIPTION
       This  program development aid simplifies	the process of configuring ap-
       plications to use the AdaCurses library binding to ncurses.

OPTIONS
       --cflags	  reports the GNAT (Ada	compiler) flags	needed to compile with
		  AdaCurses.

       --libs	  reports the GNAT libraries needed to link with AdaCurses.

       --version  reports the  release	and  patch  date  information  of  the
		  ncurses  libraries used to configure and build AdaCurses and
		  exits	successfully.

       --help	  issues a usage message and exits successfully.

       Omitting	options	implies	"--cflags --libs".

EXAMPLES
       Consider	a program using	AdaCurses 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.

	   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
	   gnatmake `adacurses-config --cflags`	hello \
	       -largs `adacurses-config	--libs`
       or, more	simply,
	   gnatmake hello `adacurses-config`
       you can compile and link	the program.
