In the case of curses, this is a macro that translates to getch, on
BSD curses, it is an interface to x_getch. This routine on curses
translates key sequences to key codes (\E[A to something like
KEY_UP or whatever).
In the case of ncurses, this is a function implemented in the
ncurses library that translates key sequences to key codes (\E[A to
something like KEY_UP and so on).

mi_getch is just a wrapper around get_event that ignores all the mouse

ERR if no input is available (if you have set the nodelay option of
curses or slang with nodelay) or a character code if no such option is
ncurses or S-Lang with nodelay) or a character code if no such option is
available.

Althougt S-Lang is now used by default, we still support it ncurses. We
basically are using a small subset of ncurses because we want to be
compatible with Slang.
