</PRE><H2><a name="h2-DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</a></H2><PRE>
       These  functions  are extensions to the curses library which do not fit
       easily into other categories.


</PRE><H3><a name="h3-curses_version">curses_version</a></H3><PRE>
       Use <STRONG>curses_version</STRONG> to get the version number, including patch level  of
       the library, e.g., <STRONG>5.0.19991023</STRONG>


</PRE><H3><a name="h3-use_extended_names">use_extended_names</a></H3><PRE>
       The  <STRONG>use_extended_names</STRONG>  function controls whether the calling applica-
       tion is able to use user-defined or nonstandard names which may be com-
       piled  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 <STRONG>-x</STRONG> option of <STRONG>tic</STRONG> to compile
       extended terminal definitions.  However you can disable this feature to
       ensure compatibility with other implementations of curses.


</PRE><H2><a name="h2-RETURN-VALUE">RETURN VALUE</a></H2><PRE>
       <STRONG>curses_version</STRONG>  returns a pointer to static memory; you should not free
       this in your application.

       <STRONG>use_extended_names</STRONG> returns the previous state,  allowing  you  to  save
       this and restore it.


</PRE><H2><a name="h2-PORTABILITY">PORTABILITY</a></H2><PRE>
       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.
