50 <H2>NAME</H2><PRE>
51 <STRONG>curses_version</STRONG>, <STRONG>use_extended_names</STRONG> - miscellaneous curses
52 extensions
55 </PRE>
56 <H2>SYNOPSIS</H2><PRE>
57 <STRONG>#include</STRONG> <STRONG>&lt;curses.h&gt;</STRONG>
59 <STRONG>const</STRONG> <STRONG>char</STRONG> <STRONG>*</STRONG> <STRONG>curses_version(void);</STRONG>

63 </PRE>
64 <H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
65 These functions are extensions to the curses library which
66 do not fit easily into other categories.
68 Use <EM>curses</EM><STRONG>_</STRONG><EM>version()</EM> to get the version number, including
69 patch level of the library, e.g., <STRONG>5.0.19991023</STRONG>
71 The <EM>use</EM><STRONG>_</STRONG><EM>extended</EM><STRONG>_</STRONG><EM>names()</EM> function controls whether the
72 calling application is able to use user-defined or non-
73 standard names which may be compiled into the terminfo
74 description, i.e., via the terminfo or termcap interfaces.
75 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>
77 to compile extended terminal definitions. However you can
78 disable this feature to ensure compatibility with other
79 implementations of curses.
82 </PRE>
83 <H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE>
84 These routines are specific to ncurses. They were not
85 supported on Version 7, BSD or System V implementations.
86 It is recommended that any code depending on them be con-
87 ditioned using NCURSES_VERSION.
