The <STRONG>get_wch</STRONG>, <STRONG>wget_wch</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvget_wch</STRONG>, and <STRONG>mvwget_wch</STRONG> functions
read a character from the terminal associated with the

- through to the program. Depending on the setting of

Unless <STRONG>noecho</STRONG> has been set, these routines echo the char-
acter into the designated window.
If <STRONG>keypad</STRONG> is enabled, these functions respond to the
pressing of a function key by setting the object pointed
- to by <EM>wch</EM> to the corresponding <STRONG>KEY_</STRONG> value defined in
- <STRONG><curses.h></STRONG> and returning <STRONG>KEY_CODE_YES</STRONG>. If a character
- (such as escape) that could be the beginning of a function
- key is received, curses sets a timer. If the remainder of
- the sequence does arrive within the designated time,
- curses passes through the character; otherwise, curses
- returns the function key value. For this reason, many
- terminals experience a delay between the time a user
- presses the escape key and the time the escape is returned
- to the program.

+
+ The <STRONG>unget_wch</STRONG> function pushes the wide character <EM>wch</EM> back
onto the head of the input queue, so the wide character is

.SH NAME
\fBcurses_version\fP,
.SH DESCRIPTION
These functions are extensions to the curses library
which do not fit easily into other categories.
+.SS curses_version
.PP
Use
.I curses_version()
to get the version number, including patch level of the library, e.g.,
.B 5.0.19991023
+.SS use_extended_names
.PP
The
.I use_extended_names()
extended terminal definitions.
However you can disable this feature
to ensure compatibility with other implementations of curses.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+.PP
+\fBcurses_version\fP returns a pointer to static memory; you should not free
+this in your application.
+.PP
+\fBuse_extended_names\fP returns the previous state, allowing you to
+save this and restore it.
.SH PORTABILITY
These routines are specific to ncurses. They were not supported on
Version 7, BSD or System V implementations. It is recommended that

.SH SYNOPSIS
\fB#include <curses.h>\fR
.sp
these functions respond to
the pressing of a function key by setting the object pointed to by
\fIwch\fR
-to the corresponding
-\fBKEY_\fR
-value defined
-in
-\fB<curses.h>\fR
-and returning
-\fBKEY_CODE_YES\fR.
+to the keycode assigned to the function key,
+and returning \fBKEY_CODE_YES\fR.
If a character (such as escape) that could be the
beginning of a function key is received, curses sets a timer.
If the remainder
reason, many terminals experience a delay between the time a user presses
the escape key and the time the escape is returned to the program.
.PP
+The keycodes returned by these functions are the same as those
+returned by \fBwgetch\fP:
+.bP
+The predefined function
+keys are listed in \fB<curses.h>\fR as macros with values outside the range
+of 8-bit characters.
+Their names begin with \fBKEY_\fR.
+.bP
+Other (user-defined) function keys which may be defined using \fBdefine_key\fP(3X)
+have no names, but also are expected to have values outside the range of
+8-bit characters.
+.PP
The
\fBunget_wch\fR
function pushes the wide character

If \fBkeypad\fR is \fBTRUE\fR, and a function key is pressed, the token for

+The predefined function

Thus, a variable
intended to hold the return value of a function key must be of short size or
larger.
