The
fullname() function takes the termcap entry in
termbuf and copies the full name of the terminal from the entry into the target variable
name. The full name of the terminal is assumed to be the last alias in the termcap entry name. It is assumed that the
name variable has sufficient storage to hold the full name of the terminal.
A termcap entry can be retrieved by calling the
getcap() function with the name of the capability in
name. The matching capability string for the terminal is returned.
The
longname() function returns a verbose description of the terminal which is taken from the last name alias in the termcap description for the terminal. This string will be at most 128 characters long and will only be defined after a call to
initscr() or
newterm().
