Registered Prefixes


Introduction

NetHack uses the prefix "NHDT" internally to identify specific information (such as versions and dates) produced by the NetHack Development Team. NetHack variants should use a different prefix. This page lists the prefixes we know about.

We encourage projects to register a unique prefix to prevent confusion. To register, send an email to devteam@nethack.org with the prefix you wish to register, contact information for the project (email or URL), and the project's name.

For information about using the prefix with git, see the DEVEL directory in the source tree.
