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 libnotcurses-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 ncdirect_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.
