.SH SYNOPSIS

|
|
|
|
\fB#include <curses.h>\fP
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\fBconst char * curses_version(void);\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 descision
|
|
|
|
|
is made by using the \fB-x\fP option of \fItic\fP to compile
|
|
|
|
|
extended terminal definitions.
|
|
|
|
|
However you can disable this feature
|
|
|
|
|
to ensure compatiblity 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.
