| 33 | .SH NAME
|
|---|
| 34 | \fBcurses_version\fP,
|
|---|
| 35 | \fBuse_extended_names\fP \- miscellaneous curses extensions
|
|---|
| 36 |
|
|---|
| 37 | .SH SYNOPSIS
|
|---|
| 38 | \fB#include <curses.h>\fP
|
|---|
| 39 |
|
|---|
| 40 | \fBconst char * curses_version(void);\fP
|
|---|
| 41 | .br
|
|---|
| 42 | \fBint use_extended_names(bool enable);\fP
|
|---|
| 43 | .SH DESCRIPTION
|
|---|
| 44 | These functions are extensions to the curses library
|
|---|
| 45 | which do not fit easily into other categories.
|
|---|
| 46 | .PP
|
|---|
| 47 | Use
|
|---|
| 48 | .I curses_version()
|
|---|
| 49 | to get the version number, including patch level of the library, e.g.,
|
|---|
| 50 | .B 5.0.19991023
|
|---|
| 51 | .PP
|
|---|
| 52 | The
|
|---|
| 53 | .I use_extended_names()
|
|---|
| 54 | function controls whether the calling application
|
|---|
| 55 | is able to use user-defined or nonstandard names
|
|---|
| 56 | which may be compiled into the terminfo
|
|---|
| 57 | description, i.e., via the terminfo or termcap interfaces.
|
|---|
| 58 | Normally these names are available for use, since the essential decision
|
|---|
| 59 | is made by using the \fB-x\fP option of \fItic\fP to compile
|
|---|
| 60 | extended terminal definitions.
|
|---|
| 61 | However you can disable this feature
|
|---|
| 62 | to ensure compatibility with other implementations of curses.
|
|---|
| 63 | .SH PORTABILITY
|
|---|
| 64 | These routines are specific to ncurses. They were not supported on
|
|---|
| 65 | Version 7, BSD or System V implementations. It is recommended that
|
|---|
| 66 | any code depending on them be conditioned using NCURSES_VERSION.
