62 These functions are extensions to the curses library which do not fit
63 easily into other categories.

67 Use <STRONG>curses_version</STRONG> to get the version number, including patch level of
68 the library, e.g., <STRONG>5.0.19991023</STRONG>

72 The <STRONG>use_extended_names</STRONG> function controls whether the calling applica-
73 tion is able to use user-defined or nonstandard names which may be com-
74 piled into the terminfo description, i.e., via the terminfo or termcap
75 interfaces. Normally these names are available for use, since the
76 essential decision is made by using the <STRONG>-x</STRONG> option of <STRONG>tic</STRONG> to compile
77 extended terminal definitions. However you can disable this feature to
78 ensure compatibility with other implementations of curses.

82 <STRONG>curses_version</STRONG> returns a pointer to static memory; you should not free
83 this in your application.
85 <STRONG>use_extended_names</STRONG> returns the previous state, allowing you to save

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