curs_extend(3)	    UNIX Programmer's Manual	   curs_extend(3)

NAME
     curses_version, use_extended_names - miscellaneous curses
     extensions

SYNOPSIS
     #include <curses.h>

     const char * curses_version(void);
     int use_extended_names(bool enable);

DESCRIPTION
     These functions are extensions to the curses library which
     do not fit easily into other categories.

     Use curses_version() to get the version number, including
     patch level of the library, e.g., 5.0.19991023

     The use_extended_names() function controls whether the cal-
     ling 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 -x option of tic to compile extended ter-
     minal definitions. However you can disable this feature to
     ensure compatibility with other implementations of curses.

PORTABILITY
     These routines are specific to ncurses.  They were not sup-
     ported on Version 7, BSD or System V implementations.  It is
     recommended that any code depending on them be conditioned
     using NCURSES_VERSION.
