NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       keybound - return definition of keycode

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       #include <curses.h>

       int keybound(int keycode, int count);

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       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    [Toc]    [Back]

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

PORTABILITY    [Toc]    [Back]

       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.
