13 <H2>SYNOPSIS</H2><PRE>
14 <B>#include</B> <B><curses.h></B>
16 <B>const</B> <B>char</B> <B>*</B> <B>curses_version(void);</B>

21 <H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
22 These functions are extensions to the curses library which
23 do not fit easily into other categories.
25 Use <I>curses</I><B>_</B><I>version()</I> to get the version number, including
26 patch level of the library, e.g., <B>5.0.19991023</B>
28 The <I>use</I><B>_</B><I>extended</I><B>_</B><I>names()</I> function controls whether the
29 calling application is able to use user-defined or non-
30 standard names which may be compiled into the terminfo
31 description, i.e., via the terminfo or termcap interfaces.
32 Normally these names are available for use, since the
33 essential descision is made by using the <B>-x</B> option of <I>tic</I>
34 to compile extended terminal definitions. However you can
35 disable this feature to ensure compatiblity with other
36 implementations of curses
40 <H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE>
41 These routines are specific to ncurses. They were not
42 supported on Version 7, BSD or System V implementations.
43 It is recommended that any code depending on them be con-
44 ditioned using NCURSES_VERSION.
