SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -I /usr/xpg4/include -L /usr/xpg4/lib \
-R /usr/xpg4/lib -lcurses [ library... ]

#include <curses.h>
const char *longname(void);
DESCRIPTION
The longname() function returns a pointer to a static area containing a
verbose description (128 characters or fewer) of the terminal. The
area is defined after calls to initscr(3XCURSES), newterm(3XCURSES), or
setupterm(3XCURSES). The value should be saved if longname() is going
to be used with multiple terminals since it will be overwritten with a
new value after each call to newterm() or setupterm().
RETURN VALUES
On success, the longname() function returns a pointer to a verbose
description of the terminal. Otherwise, it returns a null pointer.
ERRORS
None.
