NAME
       longname - return full terminal type name

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

       c89 [ flag... ] file... -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.
