NAME

       notcurses_core - minimal Notcurses linkage

SYNOPSIS

       #include <notcurses/notcurses.h>

       -lnotcurses-core

       struct notcurses* notcurses_core_init(const notcurses_options* opts, FILE* fp);

       struct ncdirect* ncdirect_core_init(const char* termtype, FILE* fp, uint64_t flags);

DESCRIPTION

       If your binary has no use for the multimedia capabilities of Notcurses, consider linking directly to lib‐
       notcurses-core rather than libnotcurses.  This ought greatly reduce the dependency burden of Notcurses.

       If  using  libnotcurses-core,  notcurses_core_init must be used in the place of notcurses_init, and ncdi‐
       rect_core_init must be used in the place of ncdirect_init.  Failure to do will usually result in an error
       during linking.  At worst, you'll end up with the unnecessary dependencies in your binary after all.

BUGS

       This all ought be handled by the toolchain.  It's stupid for users to have to think about this.

NOTES

       If Notcurses was built with USE_MULTIMEDIA=none, libnotcurses will have no multimedia  dependencies,  and
       thus  this won't save anything.  It's still best to explicitly use libnotcurses-core when appropriate, to
       avoid picking up the dependency chain on systems where it is being used.

RETURN VALUES

       The same as notcurses_init and ncdirect_init.
