- The <EM>use</EM><STRONG>_</STRONG><EM>extended</EM><STRONG>_</STRONG><EM>names()</EM> function controls whether the
- calling application is able to use user-defined or non-
- standard names which may be compiled into the terminfo
- description, i.e., via the terminfo or termcap interfaces.
- Normally these names are available for use, since the
- essential decision is made by using the <STRONG>-x</STRONG> option of <STRONG>tic</STRONG>
- to compile extended terminal definitions. However you can
- disable this feature to ensure compatibility with other
