keybound(3)

NAME

       keybound - return definition of keycode

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curses.h>

       char * keybound(int keycode, int count);

DESCRIPTION

       This  is an extension to the curses library.  It permits an application
       to determine the string which is defined in the terminfo  for  specific
       keycodes.

RETURN VALUE

       The  keycode  must  be greater than zero, else NULL is returned.  If it
       does not correspond to a defined key, then NULL	is  returned.	Other-
       wise, the function returns a string, which must be freed by the caller.

PORTABILITY

       These routines are specific to ncurses.	They  were  not  supported  on
       Version 7, BSD or System V implementations.  It is recommended that any
       code depending on them be conditioned using NCURSES_VERSION.
