curs_extend(3X) curs_extend(3X)
curses_version, use_extended_names - miscellaneous curses
extensions
#include <curses.h>
const char * curses_version(void);
int use_extended_names(bool enable);
These functions are extensions to the curses library which do not
fit easily into other categories.
curses_version
Use curses_version to get the version number, including patch
level of the library, prefixed by “ncurses”, e.g.,
ncurses 5.0.19991023
use_extended_names
The 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 -x option of @TIC@ to compile extended terminal definitions.
However you can disable this feature to ensure compatibility with
other implementations of curses.
curses_version returns a pointer to static memory; you should not
free this in your application.
use_extended_names returns the previous state, allowing you to
save this and restore it.
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.
