Package goncurses is a new curses (ncurses) library for the Go programming language. It implements all the ncurses extension libraries: form, menu and panel. Minimal operation would consist of initializing the display: It is important to always call End() before your program exits. If you fail to do so, the terminal will not perform properly and will either need to be reset or restarted completely. CAUTION: Calls to ncurses functions are normally not atomic nor reentrant and therefore extreme care should be taken to ensure ncurses functions are not called concurrently. Specifically, never write data to the same window concurrently nor accept input and send output to the same window as both alter the underlying C data structures in a non safe manner. Ideally, you should structure your program to ensure all ncurses related calls happen in a single goroutine. This is probably most easily achieved via channels and Go's built-in select. Alternatively, or additionally, you can use a mutex to protect any calls in multiple goroutines from happening concurrently. Failure to do so will result in unpredictable and undefined behaviour in your program. The examples directory contains demontrations of many of the capabilities goncurses can provide.
