NAME

-       curses_version,  use_extended_names - miscellaneous curses
-       extensions
+       curses_version, use_extended_names - miscellaneous curses extensions
 
 
 

SYNOPSIS

        #include <curses.h>
 
        const char * curses_version(void);
-       int use_extended_names(bool enable);
+       int use_extended_names(bool enable);
 
 
 

DESCRIPTION

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

+       easily into other categories.
 
 
 

curses_version

-       Use  curses_version() to get the version number, including
-       patch level of the library, e.g., 5.0.19991023
+       Use curses_version to get the version number, including patch level  of
+       the library, prefixed by "ncurses", e.g.,
+
+              ncurses 5.0.19991023
 
 
 

use_extended_names

-       The use_extended_names()  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 -x option of tic
-       to compile extended terminal definitions.  However you can
-       disable  this  feature  to ensure compatibility with other
-       implementations of curses.

RETURN VALUE

-       curses_version returns a pointer  to  static  memory;  you
-       should not free this in your application.

PORTABILITY

-       These routines are specific to  ncurses.   They  were  not
-       supported  on  Version 7, BSD or System V implementations.
-       It is recommended that any code depending on them be  con-
-       ditioned using NCURSES_VERSION.
+

EXTENSIONS

+       These  functions  are ncurses(3x) extensions, and are not found in SVr4
+       curses, 4.4BSD curses, or any other previous curses implementation.

PORTABILITY

+       Applications employing ncurses extensions should condition their use on
+       the visibility of the NCURSES_VERSION preprocessor macro.
