# 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**.
