keybound(3ncurses)

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 parameter must be greater than zero, else NULL is returned.
   If it does not correspond to a defined key, then NULL is returned.  The
   count  parameter  is  used  to allow the application to iterate through
   multiple  definitions,  counting  from  zero.   When  successful,   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.
