.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn fullname
|
|
function takes the termcap entry in
|
|
.Fa termbuf
|
|
and copies the full name of the terminal from the entry into the
|
|
target variable
|
|
.Fa name .
|
|
The full name of the terminal is assumed to be the last alias in the
|
|
termcap entry name.
|
|
It is assumed that the
|
|
.Fa name
|
|
variable has sufficient storage to hold the full name of the terminal.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A termcap entry can be retrieved by calling the
|
|
.Fn getcap
|
|
function with the name of the capability in
|
|
.Fa name .
|
|
The matching capability string for the terminal is returned.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn 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
|
|
.Fn initscr
|
|
or
|
|
.Fn newterm .
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
