Padding Differences
In historical curses implementations, delays embedded in the term‐
info capabilities carriage_return (cr), scroll_forward (ind),
cursor_left (cub1), form_feed (ff), and tab (ht) activated
corresponding delay bits in the Unix terminal driver. ncurses
performs all padding by sending NUL bytes to the device. This
method is slightly more expensive, but narrows the interface to the
Unix kernel significantly and correspondingly increases the
package’s portability.
