longname 

The longname routine is used to return the full terminal type name.

Syntax 

     #include <curses.h>

     char *longname();

Return Values 

On success, pointer to verbose description of terminal is returned;
otherwise, a null pointer is returned.

Description 

The longname() routine returns a pointer to a static area containing a
verbose description (128 characters or less) of the terminal.  The area
is defined after calls to initscr(), newterm(), or setupterm().  The
value should be saved if longname() is going to be used with multiple
terminals since it is overwritten with a new value after each call to
setupterm().

Implementation Considerations 

Identical to XPG/3
