| 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. |
