Thomas E. Dickey c3b21f65a2 ncurses 6.0 - patch 20161015
+ amend internal use of tputs to consistently use the number of lines
  affected, e.g., for insert/delete character operations.  While
  merging terminfo source early in 1995, several descriptions used the
  "*" proportional delay for these operations, prompting a change in
  doupdate.
+ regenerate llib-* files.
+ regenerate HTML manpages.
+ fix several formatting issues with manual pages.

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 call-
ing 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 <STRONG>-x</STRONG> option of <STRONG>tic</STRONG> to compile
extended terminal definitions. However you can disable
this feature to ensure compatibility with other implemen-
tations 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 con-
ditioned using NCURSES_VERSION.
