| .SH NAME |
| \fBcurses_version\fP, |
| \fBuse_extended_names\fP \- miscellaneous curses extensions |
| . |
| .SH SYNOPSIS |
| \fB#include <curses.h>\fP |
| .sp |
| \fBconst char * curses_version(void);\fP |
| .br |
| \fBint use_extended_names(bool enable);\fP |
| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| These functions are extensions to the curses library |
| which do not fit easily into other categories. |
| .PP |
| Use |
| .I curses_version() |
| to get the version number, including patch level of the library, e.g., |
| .B 5.0.19991023 |
| .PP |
| The |
| .I use_extended_names() |
| function controls whether the calling application |
| is able to use user-defined or nonstandard 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 \fB\-x\fP option of \fB@TIC@\fP to compile |
| extended terminal definitions. |
| However you can disable this feature |
| to ensure compatibility with other implementations of curses. |
| .SH 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 conditioned using NCURSES_VERSION. |
