NAME

6       curses_version, use_extended_names - miscellaneous curses extensions
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <curses.h>
10
11       const char * curses_version(void);
12       int use_extended_names(bool enable);
13

DESCRIPTION

15       These  functions  are extensions to the curses library which do not fit
16       easily into other categories.
17
18       Use curses_version() to get the version number, including  patch  level
19       of the library, e.g., 5.0.19991023
20
21       The use_extended_names() function controls whether the calling applica‐
22       tion is able to use user-defined or nonstandard names which may be com‐
23       piled  into the terminfo description, i.e., via the terminfo or termcap
24       interfaces.  Normally these names are  available  for  use,  since  the
25       essential  decision  is  made  by using the -x option of tic to compile
26       extended terminal definitions.  However you can disable this feature to
27       ensure compatibility with other implementations of curses.

PORTABILITY

30       These  routines  are  specific  to ncurses.  They were not supported on
31       Version 7, BSD or System V implementations.  It is recommended that any
32       code depending on them be conditioned using NCURSES_VERSION.
