+ curses_version returns a pointer to static memory; you should not free + this in your application. + use_extended_names returns the previous state, allowing you to save + this and restore it. +
+ These functions are ncurses(3x) extensions, and are not found in SVr4 + curses, 4.4BSD curses, or any other previous curses implementation. +
+ Applications employing ncurses extensions should condition their use on + the visibility of the NCURSES_VERSION preprocessor macro. +
