NAME
     curses_termcap, fullname, getcap -- curses termcap querying routines

LIBRARY
     Curses Library (libcurses, -lcurses)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <curses.h>

     char *
     fullname(char *termbuf, char *name);

     char *
     getcap(char *name);

DESCRIPTION
     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.

RETURN VALUES
     Functions returning pointers will return NULL if an error is detected.  The functions that return an int will return one of the following
     values:

     OK   The function completed successfully.
     ERR  An error occurred in the function.
